      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....

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

              favicon

              (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.

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

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

                    All this happened post a diffusion update.

                      Hello, Pixelcruncher,
                      I'have installed RS 9.6.9
                      I'm testing it. When I hide a SU tag it stays visible. The only way seems to Hide a group so that it will not be visible. So: we can't use Hide/reveal Tags?

                        Going cold turkey, sketchup is completely uninstalled for a while.

                          This time I have a scene that is a bit heavy, I copied an entire apartment in duplicate and when I open RS, it is active but the window does not want to enlarge and remains stuck in the taskbar. We can see in the thumbnail that it is working on the project, it is rendering... but I also did not have a Rayscaper loading window

                            The latest version is broken for me... I installed it and I don't think I restarted SU and it worked. But now the window is stuck in the taskbar;
                            I'm going to reinstall 9.6.4 to test.

                                        OK, hover the cursor over the sketchup icon on the task bar, right click on the Rayscaper window and maximise. The render window will not open elsewise.

                                          Running the .69 build. EVERY new model loaded will require the steps above. right click on the render window on the task bar and select maximise. When this is done once per new model, session, each new start of Rayscaper will occur as per normal.5 1000s 2196 x 1071 GPU 2020016 tri 54s.png
