        Hello, Pixelcruncher,
        I updated the rbz from sketchucation, but I don't have this option to choose the thumbnail size.(very good improvement)
        But I didn't uninstall rayscaper before reinstalling,

          that's fine, but I had to delete the rayscaper files in the hidden folders and in the sketchup plugins too. that's great, it'll let me look at the texture previews in detail on my laptop...., which has a high-definition screen, and I needed a magnifying glass...

              Hey @Krass ,

              Can you check the version you are running?

              6313345e-1802-497c-9303-a9c65ed9570b-image.png

              If it's 0.9.44 or higher, you should be able to configure the thumbnails via the settings dialog:

              f95e28cb-8c69-48e5-878b-3c7a6eeafc2a-image.png

              After updating the plugin in SketchUp, a restart of SketchUp is required. Otherwise, you will continue to run the older version of Rayscaper.

              Regards,
              Thomas

                  I've stopped rendering for now, I'm stuck with this problematic project that I sent you screenshots of. These spots in the shadows

                    @Krass I'm looking into this, and the other bugs you reported. Will provide an update soon.

                    To confirm, is this the only scene where you see the black smears (taches)? Or are there other scenes where you are seeing the same thing?

                    Cheers,

                      Helo Thomas,
                      Yes, other renderings have the same problem, but I remember that this one down below didn't pose any problems even though the light sources were significantly less powerful. Maybe further away?

                        Hello, with better settings (transparent shadows) and a little cleaning (5 mn, photoshop), another render, I am very satisfied with it

                          Hey, Rayscaper users!

                          Another release!

                          Rayscaper 0.9.50 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. More fixes and improvements. As always, I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

                          What Changed?

                          • Bring back the transparency shadows option for the glass material. This option makes the glass material invisible to
                            shadow rays, allowing direct light to pass through the glass. This is useful for allowing direct light through glass
                            in indoor scenes.
                          • Add extra logging to help diagnose failed installations.
                          • Cyrillic glyph support: The user interface now supports Cyrillic characters.
                          • Improved pixel filtering: Fixed an issue where edges appeared overly jagged with the default settings.
                          • Enhanced texture sliders: Scale and translation sliders now have more intuitive ranges.

                          Help me build the community πŸ‘

                          If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders (final or work-in-progress, it doesn't matter)! This is motivating and will help me showcase its capabilities to new users.

                          Happy Rendering!

                                  I notice that your new default HDRI map intensity settings are excellent, almost no adjustments needed, it's a huge improvement

                                      How may I share a "carpaint" material pack?
                                      If it is easier to make it in another app and share (online or locally) or use the RS?
                                      How may I set a castum "preview" for the materials? If it is possible to change the "internal" material test scene?

                                        If you go to C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\Rayscaper\UserAssets you will find the custom materials you have made zipped.

                                        If you unzipped you will see the preview image. If you change that image and zip it making sure to delete the original zip and name the new one the same you get custom icons.

                                            hello,
                                            I thought I read above that Rayscaper had become free, exactly I read that there was no longer a limitation on rendering size. Thank you for confirming this.
