Rayscaper New Releases

@Krass That's great! Could you please attach the SketchUp file, the Normal Map file, and a screenshot showing the settings you used in Rayscaper?

[Krass]

Hello yes, I will do it tomorrow. Remind it to me if I forget

[pixelcruncher]

@Krass These settings have no bearing on the animations that Rayscaper renders.

[pixelcruncher]

@Alattab, I will have a look at this and maybe provide an installer. I'm not sure what happened here right now. Will get back to you.

Thanks,
Thomas

You can download an installer here: https://rayscaper-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/SketchUp/Windows/Rayscaper_Win_0.9.85_Beta_Setup.exe - Can you try using the installer to see if it works better for you?

Regards,

@Krass Thank you for your efforts.

I am trying to turn an image on a television into an emmiter. I thought I remember seeing that it was not possible in Rayscraper but I can't seem to find that thread again. Is that still the case? And if so, is that possibly something that could added in a future release? Right now I am adding that in post production, but it would be very handy if the feature could be done within Rayscraper.

I have not been able to replicate the effect yet.

[Krass]

Hello, there is a tip to do that for a fixed picture : put an emissive plane a few centimeters behind your image then increase "transmission"

[Mike Amos]

Thanks for the tip/reminder.

[pixelcruncher]

@NeilNovotny We don't support texture emission yet, but it's on our feature list. For now, you can follow the tip @krass posted.

Cheers,
Thomas

Excellent. And thank you for the help. After working with Twilight for so long, I am slowly working my way through Rayscraper.

Hey, Rayscaper users!

Rayscaper 0.9.87 Beta is available. You can get it via:

• The SketchUcation store.
• Direct download: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.87_Beta.rbz.

I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

What Changed?

• Add tri-planar mapping support for textures. Materials can now use tri-planar projection instead of UV mapping, which avoids stretched textures on surfaces without proper UVs.
• Automatically apply tri-planar mapping to PolyHaven materials when the model has no UVs. Downloaded materials now look correct out of the box without manual texture coordinate setup.
• Sort the material list alphabetically to match SketchUp's material panel ordering.
• Fix the Asset Manager sometimes getting stuck in a loading state when switching between assets quickly.
• Fix color space detection for opacity and roughness textures. These textures now render correctly when using automatic color space detection.
• Fix environment power slider feeling awkward near zero. The slider now smoothly blends to zero instead of snapping discontinuously at the far left.
