Update: another tool is in - Invisible Plane. Select a surface and click Invisible Plane, and the tool creates a plane from it, automatically placed on a tag. You can then draw lines on that plane no matter where you click, so after rotating the camera they are still on the plane instead of ending up somewhere else. The plane can be turned on and off with its tag, or deleted completely. Video: https://youtu.be/GU133K7tTgg Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/YPrrJx6pbM0 I'll keep adding the rest of the tools one by one. Feedback is welcome, especially on which tools you'd like to see next.

Hi, This program hasn't been approved by Windows. I'm on Windows 11 and don't see that exact type of window, but I do get a warning; you have to click "More info," and then you get the option to approve the app anyway. Have you tried all the buttons? Which version of Windows do you have? The installer is not yet officially signed, so you'll have to bypass that. I'm not building a virus

En premier, oui...

Glad to hear it @mike-amos! We have some docs for scatter or asks if things are not clear. If you like to read, the docs are here: https://rayscaper.com/manual/scatter/ If you'd rather watch, there's a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM2fJPDn58o I've cleaned up the docs a lot over the last couple of weeks with the help of a friend who actually works in 3D, not a code monkey like me. Feedback on what's still unclear is very welcome. Cheers, Thomas

It might be the orientation of the section plane versus the camera of the scene. Anyway, difficult to say without seeing the scene or the model.

New demo video is up, showing the whole workflow from a DWG floor plan to a finished 3D model: https://youtu.be/MTUcujdLiHI The extension is available with a 1-week free trial: https://sabahattin81.gumroad.com/l/gtkygx Feedback and test drawings are very welcome!

@Rich-O-Brien thank you sir. And you are most definitely right about the 3D printing end of it.

Awesome and easy to use Tool. Thank's to Samuel Thallet. Waiting soon for his integration in SketchUp as a plugin.

Last of the original wip test views in full render mode with screen illumination. [image: Screen Test 5 4000s 4000 x 2268 4324228 tri 54m 52s GPU Spot Light ies ,001 watts Wide.png]

OK, removed the emiters from the side of the screen and new test. Place a spotlight 2' from the centre of the 'screen' and extending to 1' from the screen. In light management settings select ies and medium spot. Not perfect but I'll take it. [image: Screen Test 5 4000s 4000 x 2268 4324228 tri 54m 52s GPU Spot Light ies ,001 watts Wide.png]

@Krass J'ai arrêté de suivre les évolutions de SU depuis que je suis à la retraite (5 ans) car je ne compte pas l'acheter et la version web ne m'a pas emballé (à l'époque ). Donc j'ai perdu en compétence. Mais c'est justement ce qui me fait "militer" pour des logiciels libres de bon niveau. Si tu es hors course (pour x ou y) et que tu as besoin de maintenir ton niveau pour réintégrer le monde du travail, tu fais comment ? Pirater les logiciels pour accéder aux dernières versions ? Ingétrazo me plaît car OpenSource et à la page ... je vais pouvoir me remettre à niveau, au cas où...

Hello @hellnbak ! I hope you get to see my message. I'm a Concept Designer and CGI Artist and I'm currently working on a series of my favourite movies's posters to build up a new portfolio. "METROPOLIS" is one of the movie that shaped me the most as an artist but also as a designer, that's why I would like to include it in my series. That being said, I've been looking for a 3d Model of Robot Maria but yours seems to be the only one to be trustful to the original movie costume. Would be possible for you to share or make your model available to purchase? I'm more than happy to contribute by buying it. Let me know what you think and thank you for this amazing work!

Hi everyone, I'd like to take a step back and clarify how we hope this early build is viewed. Please keep in mind that this is not a full, finished commercial extension yet. It's an early prototype designed primarily to showcase a specific workflow and design approach for custom furniture. At this stage, our main goal is not to sell a polished product, but to gather your feedback on the core philosophy and speed of assembly: are we solving the right problems, and is this the right direction for custom workshops? We would love to hear your thoughts on whether this concept resonates with your workflow!

Hello, thank you for the community plugin, but I'm getting this error message when I try to import. It looks like you had someone else with a similar error about a year ago. Any solution? [image: Screenshot 2026-10-05 144425.png]

Here is an update on the issue of MP4 clips always being encoded by Animator at 25 FPS regardless of what frame rate was requested in the Animator UI dialog box. I found a way on-line to use ffmpeg to create a copy of an MP4 clip file with a different encoded frame rate. In this example, I wanted to create a clip at 30 FPS. I used Animator to create a clip file called Clip.mp4 of an animation that is 10 seconds long (according to the Animator clip editor timeline); I requested 30 FPS in the Animator UI which means 300 frames in the clip. Animator created 300 frames as expected, but tagged the resulting Clip.mp4 MP4 file as 25 FPS. As a result, when the 300 frames in clip.mp4 are played back on the computer the clip lasts 12 seconds (300 frames at 25 FPS yields 12 seconds). This is not wanted; I intended the clip to play in 10 seconds at 30 FPS. Here is an ffmpeg command that will adjust the frame rate of a new copy of the clip (named Clip-30fps.mp4) to be 30 FPS: ffmpeg -itsscale 0.83333 -i Clip.mp4 -map 0 -c copy Clip-30fps.mp4 This basic command will work to make a new copy of any clip (substituting the clip filenames as desired) to be 30 FPS, when the original clip was encoded at 25 FPS. The key switch in the command is "-itsscale 0.83333"; the number 0.83333 is the approximate ratio between 25 FPS and 30 FPS.

Is there a settings section where we can map our own (custom) tags / layers that can then be used by the extensions / plugins?
