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.
