      OK, there's a bug with PNGs with transparency that cause glowing fringes.

      Thomas is aware so expect a fix soon for that glow

          Moving on a little, lights are now vanishing from the mopdel at a rate of knots.

          Apparently adding a new user profile in win doze might do the trick, looking into doing that without win doze nanny complaining abut the same email address being used.

              Ta mate, still learning how to best get at the machinery tbh. Rayscaper seems to be closer to Maxwell than Twiglet but great results are possible with both. Maxwell may, MAY, be turning a corner from what I have heard but seems to be having a crisis of direction. Expecting a lot more AI if there is a new build.

              The model here had a few issues on conversion but tbh, a good model makes renders easier. Lots of groups that can be converted to components and miorrored means memory can be more eficiently optimised.

                Issues with lights and adding them etc continue but still early days yet and much to attend to in future builds . No doubt all will be well in time.

                  Nice Render!

                  I'm working hard to get that next update out! This one is taking a bit more time than expected. Sometimes, I go into the deep end with making changes to the software, and then it takes a while to stabilize it. But I'm taking all those bug reports very seriously.

                  Cheers!

                    Rather like the Whisky/Whiskey tour I am on a grand adventure. Twists in the road and potholes too but wtf? Folk are paying ten times aqs much for a tenth of the entertainment. Muppets.

                    Stay well mate and remember we need you to be whole during this roadmap. You need to remember the prime directive is. Be kind to yourself.

                    It WILL happen so Pole, pole, as the say at the base of Kilimanjaro.

                          This TwiLight or Rayscaper?

                          Do you see that ring around the right light? If this is Rayscaper I would steer clear of changing sizes of point lights as they cause weird artifacts when their size intersects geometry.

                          I believe Thomas is working on a new release with some improvements and addressing the opacity bug.

                          Great scene to level up your material and lighting presentation!

                            He is definitely on the right path, I did notice the 'ring of light' (Sorry poor taste alert).

                            I did not change any light sizes BUT, the light is inside a component so THAT may be the issue.

                              Well, I have checked that light issue and it is NOT the reversing light. Removal from the component and plcacing it outside the model leaves the ring of light extant. Possibly an artifact of the hdri.

                              I shall rotate the model and see where that leaves things.

                                OH well, drawing board. Only thing left I can think of is a ghost componant.

                                  A bit more head scratching, some textures have 'vanished'. Hey ho.
