Rayscaper Alpha Version Available
-
I watched your YouTube video and seems the engine is great. Just installed and seems I have a problem. Maybe because I have no SCF plugin toolbar installed.
PS: it solved, I installed the SCF plugin and now I have the Rayscraper!

It works charmingly!

Okay Rich,... I am working on it...
13% progress..
-
29% without any denoising and I believe it is good enough.
I stopped it on 49% progress and it seems good (despite without any denoising)

It's great to see a talented artist like you taking an interest in Rayscaper! I saw you sent me some feedback, so I will go and digest that.

due to the sunset of twilghtrender I stumbled across this new alternative.
downloaded and licensed it today.
looks promissing....

Is there a tutorial for glass and emitter materials?

It has a Glass shader in the Material Type dropdown[1]
and for the Disney shader you can enable Emmission for geometry[2]

Thank you: glas, is solved.
emitter not. with "blackbody emission" I don't get the submenu
also hidden layers are rendered. how can I avoid this?

You should be able to to open the submenu by clicking the chevron or text (1). You can expand everything by clicking the plus button (2):

Hidden objects / tags / layers isn't supported yet in the alpha version. It will be there for the 1.0 version.

thank you. I didn't see this. solutions are so simple....
next problems:
is it possible to do an emitter with textures? like in my example the sign of the tramway?
why can't I get rid of the blue textures? they are textured in SU and all faces are frontfaces

This is also planned for one of the upcoming releases but it's not there yet.
@jo-ke said:

Hmm, this usually means that the face doesn't have a material assigned to it. Or the image textures couldn't be found.
Can you select the material in the Rayscaper viewport with the material picker?
Once, selected can you try to reload the material via the reload button? This will refresh the material, resetting it to the latest changes made in SketchUp.
If all that fails, can you send me the scene? You can zip up the scene with all Rayscaper settings and textures using the following button on the Rayscaper toolbar:
You can either send me a private message or send it to thomas@rayscaper.com.
I appreciate your patience!

Yikes, that's not good! Sorry about that.
- Rayscaper creates a log file under your home directory named SUEX_Rayscaper.log (e.g., C:/Users/Thomas Loockx/SUEX_Rayscaper.log). Do you mind getting me that file?
- What version of SU are you using?

I am using 23.1.340 64 bits

Thanks for sharing the log!
Based on the PC specs I see in the log, Rayscaper should just work fine for your laptop. Also from the logs it looks like the application runs fine for 109 seconds and then just exits, so no crash (note: I'm not disputing it's not crashing on your laptop, just that it seems like it didn't crash based on this log file).
A couple of questions:
- Does SU crash for you immediately if you start up, or if you load a specific file, or if you start rendering that file?
- Does it work for any other files, or for the default empty scene?
- Do you mind reproducing the crash again and sending me another log file?
Appreciate your help!
Cheers,

I am back in my office and have the same issue.
I can not open again the file of the tramway, that I saved with the render settings a day before.
When I open an empty skp file it works, when I open the tramwayfile su imidiatly crashs.
I'll send you my file via email, to inspect.
here is the protocol:

I created a new scene, imported the same model, hit the refresh but some faces still remained blue.
I've sent you the file to review what's wrong.
-
next problems:
I created a scene, that I ususally use for my customers.
1: the drawer is not visible in render
2: the renderfile is not saved.
3: when I reopen the file SU again crushed
4: it is not possible to recover the skp filereally not a good start...
If you want, I can send you the Skp
