Here's a quick video on how to use Rayscaper with Skatter. Still trying to get better at making video content

And here are some teapots in the night

But why aren't the transparent PNG files of the leaves taken into account?

Thanks for posting the video. However, in the video you have generated the skattered items in the model. Now what you need to do is to turn on the “ Render only” option and then go to Rayscaper and see if the skattered items are generated by Rayscaper.

I think we are moving in the right direction. Just need to “work some things out”.

OK, I just gave things a second go round and things are not generating correctly when I use the "render only" option.

Here is my SketchUp model which you can use for testing/messing around.
Test - 2.skp

@Krass I didn't modify the materials, just used them as they came from SketchUp. But it's possible ofcourse:

But maybe it's more intuitive to use the alpha channel from the color slot immediately if one exists?

@ntxdave - In your test file, it had a ton of geometry generated in the model. If I tried to re-create your scene again, step-by-step I got this:

Can you try to just generate the grass on the plane, a first step and see if that works?

As a sanity check, you are using Rayscaper 0.9.72?

Krass

Great!

Yes, I have updated to Rayscaper 0.9.72. I am having ongoing problems. I will let you know more when I can. I will try to create a very basic file and show what I am see both if I generate in model and with render only.

It is probably going to be much later though. I want to get to the bottom of the problem(s) I am seeing.

@ntxdave Sounds good!
