            Hello, it seems you did not had any normal map for your water...below the fountain... You can find many on the web. You will get nice réflection. You could randomly resize the fountain flow for more réalism. There must be a way to produce fake caustics in rayscaper, let us take on this challenge !

              @Alattab I haven't found the time yet to do the water material. You will have to work around it by using a caustic pattern from the internet.

                Hey, Rayscaper users!

                Rayscaper 0.9.85 Beta is available. You can get it via:

                • The SketchUcation store.
                • Direct download: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.85_Beta.rbz.

                I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

                What Changed?

                • Add anisotropy support for metal materials. You can now create brushed metal effects by controlling the direction and amount of anisotropy in metallic surfaces.

                219f9f41-16ed-4b98-855f-5bb2115b6a78-image.png

                • Add sheen roughness control to PBR materials. This gives you finer control over fabric-like reflections on surfaces.

                47db5336-36df-44a2-8ea7-0d3bf20e296b-image.png

                • Add 'Reload All Materials from SketchUp' option to the Tools menu. This makes it easy to refresh all materials after making changes in SketchUp without restarting Rayscaper.

                • Add a Reset button to the material editor toolbar. Quickly restore a material to its default settings with a single click.

                5fa2e456-59ef-431e-b983-c6d8c37097b1-image.png

                • Improve PBR material editor with better-organized advanced settings using subgroup headers for easier navigation.

                edc7ce25-1a23-4cca-9731-a5e7e61fe172-image.png

                • Fix normal maps not automatically enabling when loading a normal map image.

                Help Me Build the Community 👍

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

                Follow me on X.

                Happy Rendering!

                  C'est extra ! merci!
                  Dear Pixelcruncher,
                  if it's possible in a future version to change the number of pixels in height or width and have the other dimension update accordingly, that would be great. Image resolution scaling by homothety... I don't think that's the case; RS offers "double or half".

                    When I move a project, I end up with blue renders... probably an asset path issue? Or maybe it's version 9.85?

                      Yes, I was able to reduce the noise with a mask to which I applied a denoiser effect, but is that the denoiser you're thinking of? It's better anyway.

                          @Krass Yes, according to the docs, that should be the one.

                            In the latest update, the icons disappeared.

                              @Alattab That sucks, I'm sorry about that.

                              As a first step, can you try reinstalling the plugin and restarting SketchUp afterwards?

                              If that doesn't work, can you send me the log files? https://www.rayscaper.com/getting-help/report-a-bug/#1-export-the-log-files - You can send them to thomas at rayscaper.com.

                              Thanks,
                              Thomas

                                Can you tell me why I get a blue display when I change the project folder?

                                    @pixelcruncher I followed your instructions, but the problem persists.

                                        Hi Thomas,

                                        I'm wondering if the animation export settings in the SketchUp project have an impact on the Rayscaper output: because the last animation I made at 30 frames per second in Rayscaper is set to 24 frames per second in SketchUp...
