Rayscaper New Releases

Patience is a virtue. Having an app have backwards compatibility along with supporting multiple different GPUs and CPUs etc is challenging for a single developer.

Agreed, getting this far this fast as a one man band, part time. Wow.

Being in beta still, imperfection is a given but the ride is still good and hoping I am contributing sufficiently.

Hey guys,

Looking into the crashes.

Hello, if I leave Rayscaper open and import a texture directly onto a face (with the import tool) it crashes

Was this on the first texture, or after multiple imports?

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?

Currently, Rayscaper doesn't support emission with a texture. Which image are you talking about? Maybe a screenshot of your setup helps me understand it better.

Another crash when reopening RS and trying to apply a texture

Looking into the crashes, I think (I hope) I found the root cause.

I understand the frustrations, and I appreciate your help in making the software a lot better!

Cheers,
Thomas

Nice render Mike!

I created a surface and imported a texture

I found a solution to make an image emissive: for example for PC screens on the following images I make a copy of the face that must receive the image and I place it in front 2 or 3 millimeters of the initial face to which I applied an emissive. On this copy of the face I put my image as texture and I increase the Transmission slider, and it works well. (I just discovered this feature!)

for the record, all the furniture is really at my house, but I tried to see in these images what I could fit into this apartment that I could buy....
the character is not contractual, I have a shaved head!

@Mike-Amos Very nice render!

@Krass Great renders! Glad you found a workaround. That computer screen looks believable to me.

(www.krea.ai)

You render it grainy in a low res, and then let it upscale? Or do you enhance the images in other ways with AI?

BTW, I found the issue, will post a fix shortly. The crash occurs when you load too many thumbnails in the asset browser.

I use AI Upscale to get a sharper render and correct details, characters, it improves materials, wood, etc.

Hey, Rayscaper users!

Another release!

Rayscaper 0.9.69 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. As
always, I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

What Changed?

Fix a crash when scrolling the asset browser. - @Krass can you let me know if this version behaves better for you?

Oh well, that lasted a long time did it not.

I cannot run Rayscaper, it is installed but, when I start the app the window will not open.

All this happened post a diffusion update.
