      Thanks for the update, though I have issues with it. Here is what I get:
      Error: #<LoadError: 126: The specified module could not be found. - c:/users/magic/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2023/sketchup/plugins/rayscaper/installed/Windows/2023/0.9.82 Beta/resources/SUEX_Rayscaper_LoadLibs.so>

      I uninstalled the previous version, then removed the entire plugin and its loader and reinstalled it, yet the issue persists.

          Hi Thomas, I can't believe I read that you can now do animation? I just installed it and it works perfectly on my computer. It's a Christmas present! But I'm eager to understand how to create an animation. A tutorial would be great...

            I reinstalled Windows; I suppose that explains the license issue I'm having? Rayscaper is installed on two machines.

              Sketchup crashes as soon as I click on "double" in the rendering resolution settings.
              and it's systematic

                Regarding the animation, is it in the form of a sequence of images?

                    you can't use Rayscaper on your 2023 SU ? If yes do you get the same issue when increasing camera resolution?

                        To get back to my point about the crash when I change the camera resolution: it doesn't crash on smaller SketchUp files, I've run tests. But it's true that this particular file is quite large, 279 MB.

                            @Krass, I'm updating my documentation, stay tuned. If I have time this week, I will also try a video.

                                @majid I'm supporting 2026, 2025, 2024. I changed that a couple of releases back.

                                      Yes, I've already figured out how to render an animation! I'm testing it now.

                                        Too bad, my first animation attempt crashes after three frames... yet the functions, animation settings, and interface are very well done.
                                        As soon as I minimize the window to show the desktop, it crashes.

                                          By dragging the Rayscaper window to the bottom of the screen, it seems to be holding... I'll let you know in about an hour and a half.

                                            @Krass Sorry about that, it's a brand new feature (implemented two weeks ago), so rough around the edges. It would be great if you could also send the logs for this crash?

                                            Pro tip, first render out a small resolution, low samples per pixel animation. They you get an immediate feel for it without having to wait too long πŸ˜‰
