      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.

        Is there a shadow catcher material?

        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.

                Hi,

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

                  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?

                                      You should be able to to open the submenu by clicking the chevron or text (1). You can expand everything by clicking the plus button (2):

                                      Hidden objects / tags / layers isn't supported yet in the alpha version. It will be there for the 1.0 version.

                                        thank you. I didn't see this. solutions are so simple....

                                        next problems:

                                        is it possible to do an emitter with textures? like in my example the sign of the tramway?

                                        why can't I get rid of the blue textures? they are textured in SU and all faces are frontfaces

                                          Hmm, this usually means that the face doesn't have a material assigned to it. Or the image textures couldn't be found.

                                          Can you select the material in the Rayscaper viewport with the material picker?

                                          SketchUp_M1qe4CZdsR.png

                                          Once, selected can you try to reload the material via the reload button? This will refresh the material, resetting it to the latest changes made in SketchUp.

                                          SketchUp_320jbL7KED.png

                                          If all that fails, can you send me the scene? You can zip up the scene with all Rayscaper settings and textures using the following button on the Rayscaper toolbar:

                                          SketchUp_t3Eg0AVbJx.png

                                          You can either send me a private message or send it to thomas@rayscaper.com.

                                          I appreciate your patience!

                                            I installed your app at my notebook at home.

                                            unfortunately sketchup is crashing after using your plugin...

                                            maybe my notebook is to old...

                                            everytime i load a file worked with your app sketchup crushes.

                                            I removed your plugin and fortunately sketchup works again.

                                            so I have to ry tomorrow in the office.
