      @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?

            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.

                  Compared to D5 Render Plus and D5 Render AI Enhancement, it's much better

                  D5 is faster, but its path tracing is a sham

                    Compared to D5 Render Plus and D5 Render AI Enhancement, it's very mediocre!

                    What exactly is mediocre, or what are you missing? That helps me improve the software. Now I can only guess at what's mediocre compared to D5 render.

                    Cheers,

                      Sorry Pixelcruncher, that's my faulty translation... I really want to highlight Rayscaper! I love the photorealistic quality of RS's path tracing. I meant the opposite in my post and I've corrected it.
