Hey, Rayscaper users!
Rayscaper 0.9.72 Beta is available. You can get it via:
- The SketchUcation store.
- Direct download: link.
I recommend upgrading to the latest version.
What Changed?
- Rayscaper now supports direct integration with the Skatter plugin. Render-only Skatter data can now be ingested directly from Skatter, bypassing the
SketchUp viewport. This offloads complex instancing and geometry handling to Rayscaper, keeping SketchUp responsive and lightweight during rendering.
Perfect for large vegetation or scattering setups — just hit render and let Rayscaper handle the heavy lifting. (@ntxdave Thanks for connecting me with the Skatter people). - Bugfix: push/pull geometry would not properly propagate to Rayscaper.
- Fix Rayscaper for SketchUp 2024, caused by a breaking change in the SketchUp SDK. Note: Going forward, Rayscaper will only support the latest three
SketchUp releases because now that it's for sure that the SDK is not backwards compatible, it's too much overhead for me to maintain more versions. The
current version supports: SketchUp 2026, SketchUp 2025 & SketchUp 2024. - Make materials assigned to a SketchUp group or component instance work again. cc: @sashapepperspray
Here's a screenshot of a simple forest I created using Skatter:

But now I need to be remember how to make RayScaper work with Skatter.
-
So far, I cannot get Rayscaper to work with Skatter. Need some help.

That's impressive! With Skatter... well done!

Don’t know what I am doing wrong but it is not working for me.
-
I don't use Skatter... sorry
-
@pixelcruncher thank you very much!
-
@ntxdave Can you provide some context on what's now working?
As soon as you have a Skatter composition, click generate, and the skattered items should appear in Rayscaper. I will create a demo video later. It would be great if you could provide a screenshot (or video) of what youare seeing. Just saying "it doesn't work" isn't providing me much to help you.

Thanks Thomas. I think the inclusion of Skatter will make for a more capable render program and enable us to produce better results, getting to grips with it is the issue a few of us will have but keeping on will be the answer.
Step by step, tbh, I have never had a decent result but that is me and NOT Skatter at fault.
