Rayscaper New Releases

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

You are THE man, Sir. I am in awe of your rendering talents. Unless they are photographs in which case. Pptttttttttttttttttht!
Change a thing and you get a call from sister carol. Not something for the faint hearted.....
-
To clarify, updating the PolyHaven HDRI size will change the size of the textures after a restart:
I will not update the HDRI images/textures you are currently using in your scene. You can check the actual size here, but I should also display the HDRI size more prominently in the UI.
If you want to use the larger size, reapply the HDRI later.
I hope that clarifies things!

@Krass Wow, that's jaw-dropping. Congratulations. Great work!

Mike Amos Thanks,
I'll have a hard time understanding your joke "Change one thing and you get a call from Sister Carol. Not something for the faint-hearted..." because I'm French and my level of English is limited. But thank you for this feedback.
It's true that the result of "arranged" renderings ends up producing standardized photographic images (I'm thinking of this couple in this image; it looks like an advertising brochure for real estate development), but it's perfect for my clients.
I'm very happy, thanks to AI, to be able to use Rayscaper as a complete rendering engine (characters and vegetation). I find the quality of the rendering engine equal to Vray, but simpler. -

Thanks for the details
In truth, I think I'm on the wrong line for the choice of HDRI size definition. I'm confusing it with the size of the textures... sorry for the messages above -
Here's a version with an HDRI map background
But I'm trying to make a "studio" render for a friend, and Sketchup crashes when I change the image resolution during rendering. I set it to 300x400 and double-scaled it twice, and it crashed both times. Should I send a crash report?

I paused the rendering and changed the definition, and it didn't crash... "studio" version raw rayscaper

https://jskup.fr/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rocking-chair-3-Phil94.jpgMaking sure I understood you correctly. Just changing the resolution (of the rendered image) in Rayscaper made the software crash?

Nice render, it doesn't seem to have the correct tags in the forum post because the picture is not visible for me immediately.

hello, yes, as I can remember
-
I created a hotfix for a crash and updated to version 0.9.68 Beta - please ensure you get that one.
Hey, Rayscaper users!
A new release, with some cool stuff!
Rayscaper 0.9.68 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. As
I recommend upgrading to the latest version.What Changed?
- Support for SketchUp 2026.
- Draw overlays for the lights in the viewport. This allows the user to select the lights in the viewport directly. You can enable
or disable the overlay in the viewport toolbar. - Save the layout and position of the Rayscaper window between sessions. You can reset the layout via the menu "File >
Reset Window Layout". - Fix a crash when minimizing the Rayscaper window.
Here's the light overlay feature in action:

Thanks, very usefull function

I am getting a crash when minimising or closing Rayscaper latest version.
Also this. Setpoint error, graphic did not save. The crash of Sketchup is repeatable.
-
@Mike-Amos Thank for reporting. Sorry about that!
I can reproduce the crash on minimizing, not on closing the Rayscaper window, though. Working on a fix.
-
@Mike-Amos Version 0.9.68 is out now, can you confirm that it fixes the crash you saw earlier today? Thanks!
-
Sorry, confirm that the crash still happens.
-
Hello, if I leave Rayscaper open and import a texture directly onto a face (with the import tool) it crashes
-
I can't create an emissive material with an image, if I increase the power the image disappears and the texture is white. I can't make a monitor screen. Can someone help me?
