Krass

great! thanks

@pixelcruncher I've been trying to recreate it in a simple scene but it keeps crashing. I actually think its largely down to to PC I'm using- I have to run SU2023 and Vray 6 instead ofc2025 and Vray7 because its under spec.

pixelcruncher

@nickchun, can you send me the log file immediately after it crashed? That would help me debug the issue. You can find the log file under C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Rayscaper, the file is called SUEX_Rayscaper.log.

It should not crash because your PC is not beefy enough.

Thanks!

@nickchun can you also mail me the file for which it keeps crashing? thomas@rayscaper.com.

Thanks!

I previously attached images of Rayscaper with a very satisfactory upscale and I am now adding a character: So, Rayscaper rendering, adding a character with Flux dev basic (via my ComfyUI installation for those who know), and upscale with Magnific via the Xfigura site which gives a few free credits per month.

@Krass Very cool, I didn't know about ComfyUI; I'm going to try that out. Thanks for sharing the workflow!

Krass

Be careful, Comfy UI requires a large graphics card and lots of free disk space, and a lot of patience.

Hey, Rayscaper users!

Another release!

Rayscaper 0.9.64 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. As
always, I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

What Changed?

Fix weird artifacts in the interactive render viewport.
Fix the upside-down images when saving.
Add transmission support for the PBR material. This makes it possible to create glass or liquid materials with the PBR material.
Fix a regression when renaming light components. Rayscaper lights should now correctly use the name of their SketchUp
light component again.
Fix glass rendering, when multiple glass surfaces overlapped, Rayscaper would render them too dark.
Fix the render timer in the viewport. It will stop counting when the render is paused or finished.

Help Me Build the Community

If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders (final or work-in-progress, it doesn’t matter)! This is motivating
and helps me showcase its capabilities to new users.

Follow me on Twitter.

Happy Rendering!

Krass

thanks Pix, but no change for the lights component name with this version 9.64 If I rename the lights componant all lights go down

pixelcruncher

@Krass, just as a sanity check, you are not changing the name right, and not the component definition name?

Krass

ok, sorry, Indeed, I changed the component name and the instance name... thanks. Perfect, I'll test it.
However, I don't understand. I set the HDR definition to 8k, and it seems that it doesn't take this definition into account. I'll redo the rendering after downloading the map from the site.

Krass

I finally upgraded to 16k and restarted RScaper, and it worked. However, after choosing 8k, I had to restart several times.
Did you remove the setting that allowed you to choose when the denoiser was applied? If so, it doesn't bother me.
