        Nice Rich πŸ‘

        Do you have an interior and/or exterior model that you could render and post in this thread?

          Here's an interior render of a guggenheim-ish type scene...

          Rayscaper is still earlier in development so I'm reluctant to push it. It does have certain shading artifacts that I've let Thomas know about.

          But overall I think it's very capable. I love the Polyhaven integration.

            Is there a shadow catcher material?

            If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

              Thanks Rich. I as hoping for something like a room or office setting but I understand that it is early in the cycle. Wish it would work with SU 2020.

                Not yet, but it's planned, should be there in a couple of weeks.

                Here's the planned road map for 1.0: https://rayscaper.com/docs/roadmap/

                    Yes, I'm looking into supporting SU2020. It will be part of one of the upcoming releases.

                    And yes, I plan to offer great software that everyone can afford. Of course with a discount for premium members.

                        Could you check if you can get it via these instructions? If that doesn’t help, send me a private message.

                        Cheers,

                          I watched your YouTube video and seems the engine is great. Just installed and seems I have a problem. Maybe because I have no SCF plugin toolbar installed.

                          PS: it solved, I installed the SCF plugin and now I have the Rayscraper!

                                  29% without any denoising and I believe it is good enough.
                                  I stopped it on 49% progress and it seems good (despite without any denoising)

                                    It's great to see a talented artist like you taking an interest in Rayscaper! I saw you sent me some feedback, so I will go and digest that.

                                      due to the sunset of twilghtrender I stumbled across this new alternative.

                                      downloaded and licensed it today.

                                      looks promissing....

                                          It has a Glass shader in the Material Type dropdown[1]

                                          and for the Disney shader you can enable Emmission for geometry[2]

                                            Thank you: glas, is solved.

                                            emitter not. with "blackbody emission" I don't get the submenu

                                            also hidden layers are rendered. how can I avoid this?
