      I am back in my office and have the same issue.

      I can not open again the file of the tramway, that I saved with the render settings a day before.

      When I open an empty skp file it works, when I open the tramwayfile su imidiatly crashs.

      I'll send you my file via email, to inspect.

      here is the protocol:

      arguments; SUEX_Rayscaper

        I created a new scene, imported the same model, hit the refresh but some faces still remained blue.

        I've sent you the file to review what's wrong.

          next problems:

          I created a scene, that I ususally use for my customers.

          1: the drawer is not visible in render
          2: the renderfile is not saved.
          3: when I reopen the file SU again crushed
          4: it is not possible to recover the skp file

          really not a good start...

          If you want, I can send you the Skp

            fortunately it is possible to recover the file, when opening an empty one and importing the old one....

            but the rayscaper- materialsettings of the model are lost

                  thank you Thomas:
                  one problem is solved:

                  a 15 year old path with a "ü" inside was the problem.

                  I have to rename it.

                  I took the file to another folder and I can open it.

                  interseting: more textures are blue now, I have to refresh each texture to get rid of the blue color.

                  and the drawer is suddenly visible.

                  The file was able to save and this is my first result:

                    Do you mind sending the scene so I check why the drawer is not rendering?

                      Hmm, you shouldn't reload everything by hand, so that's another bug. One thing I found interesting is that there are a ton of texture load failures when peeking at the log file you sent me just now:

                      Like for example:
                      2024-01-05 14:00:39.847 ( 156.978s) [PreProcessWorker] ImageLoader.h:73 ERR| Image 'C:\Users\KehlJ\Downloads\Fencing_Diamond_Mesh.png' does not exist.
                      2024-01-05 14:00:39.847 ( 156.978s) [PreProcessWorker] ImageLoader.h:73 ERR| Image 'C:\Users\KehlJ\Downloads\Translucent_Glass_Sky_Reflection_.jpg' does not exist.
                      2024-01-05 14:00:39.847 ( 156.978s) [PreProcessWorker] ImageLoader.h:73 ERR| Image 'D:\Dropbox\su\texturen\holzboden\22. R3107L Wiÿnia Hamilton 130 x130 cm Pfleiderer.jpg' does not exist.

                      So it looks like Rayscaper has issues loading those files.

                            I would like to suggest that RayScaper reach out to thr Twilight Render team and see if it would be possible for the two teams/companies work out some type of merger/get together. TR has announced a “sunset” although they have had a great product and excellent support team. Looking at where RayScaper is headed and where TR has been, it seems like they could possibly come up with a great product with a great support team.

                            Just to let you know, I have made the same proposal to the TR team.

                                One more suggestion: start a forum. Maybe it is too early though. 😉

                                  I reinstalled rayscaper on my notebook.

                                  I reopend the test file, that I made yesterday, but most of material are lost.

                                  The file is saved in my dropbox.

                                  So this one worked after refreshing the HDRI? Still I think that’s a bug, Rayscaper shouldn’t have amnesia and forget about your configuration.

                                  If this happens again, would you mind sending the log? That should give me a clue of why it failed to load the HDRI.

                                  Thanks,

                                      OK, I've found out: HDR has to be refreshed.

                                      The tramwaymodel renders well exept the blue surfaces.

                                        Thanks jo-ke for reporting. I can reproduce this bug locally and plan to have a release this week that fixes this bug, and the umlaut crash.

                                            Hey SandraEli,

                                            Thanks for the interest! A Mac version is in the works, but the primary focus is to remove the alpha label and release a rock-solid Windows version.

                                            I will keep you posted when the Mac version is out.

                                            Cheers,
                                            Thomas
