        Hello, pixelcruncher,
        I wasn't aware of this new version and am very happy to return to Rayscaper for new renderings!

          Hello,
          Is there a way to rename the lights? I'm lost, I can't adjust the intensity of a new bulb because they are numbers and I have to activate or deactivate each light to locate them.... thank you

            I renamed the light sphere component and that's not the right solution, it disabled them all. And now I can't add any more light spheres, only the spotlights work...

                Great to hear!

                The lights take the names of the light components. Maybe I can add the option to rename the lights in Rayscaper itself?

                I renamed the light sphere component and that's not the right solution, it disabled them all. And now I can't add any more light spheres, only the spotlights work...

                This feels like a bug, do you have a way to reproduce this?

                    in this scene, a series of bulbs of the same type and two others for the individual lamps. And I end up with the list of numbers if I want to adjust the intensity... it would be necessary to have noted the number of each light that we add...

                        OK, with the replacement of mats, some issues have been resolved. I have lightened this image to demonstrate what I think it a problem/issue. The cabinet doors here have a texture to them they have not had selected by me. Is this part of the ai changes? If it is, I am not a fan.

                          hello,
                          yes, and under the hood and above the stove, the noise is too present (by the way, I like your rendering.) this noise problem on certain dark parts is recurrent with Rayscaper. But can you show a screenshot of the original texture that you applied to the kitchen furniture?Perhaps you could use a stronger emissive material for your light that illuminates the work surfaces, rather than a spotlight or sphere light?

                              Can you add more exact info like the number of passes?

                              That to me is not a texture. Looks like that area of the model is dark and RS is struggling to resolve fully.

                                      Are you talking about the black splotches in the area I annotated below? They are not different textures, just artifacts.

                                      d87fb458-2587-43f0-808d-c56560088637-image.png

                                      Rich already mentioned it, but I think what's happening is that you still have a really noisy render, and then the denoiser will generate these black splotches. You can confirm that by disabling the denoiser and looking at the original image:

                                      d77632c7-6291-4f20-a26e-b6b2b32da2f3-image.png

                                      Rayscaper is a path tracer and needs to find a path to the light sources. In case it's challenging to find the light source (for example, because they are blocked or can only reach secondary light sources), you would see a lot of noise in the render. As Rich mentioned, Raysaper might be struggling with the glass in the windows and finding it hard to find good light paths to your HDRI image, which is providing the ambient light for your scene.

                                      Check that the windows are made of a glass material that has the transparent option checked. This will ensure that the rays that are looking for lights don't see the glass at all. It's as if you don't have any glass for light rays. Of course, you would still see the reflections in the glass when you look at it directly. It's the best of both worlds, although not physically correct.

                                      a48f70e6-e1af-40b2-9e6a-be22e1e2c341-image.png

                                      You can also increase the number of samples/px, which will increase the render time.

                                      a663ffdd-99c4-42ee-96cb-5a8dc5439243-image.png

                                      Let me know if this helps. I know it's a bit technical, so I'm happy to clarify.

                                      All the best,
                                      Thomas
