      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.

                    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
