Rayscaper New Releases
-
@Alattab I haven't found the time yet to do the water material. You will have to work around it by using a caustic pattern from the internet.

Hey, Rayscaper users!
Rayscaper 0.9.85 Beta is available. You can get it via:
- The SketchUcation store.
- Direct download: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.85_Beta.rbz.
I recommend upgrading to the latest version.
What Changed?
- Add anisotropy support for metal materials. You can now create brushed metal effects by controlling the direction and amount of anisotropy in metallic surfaces.
- Add sheen roughness control to PBR materials. This gives you finer control over fabric-like reflections on surfaces.
-
Add 'Reload All Materials from SketchUp' option to the Tools menu. This makes it easy to refresh all materials after making changes in SketchUp without restarting Rayscaper.
-
Add a Reset button to the material editor toolbar. Quickly restore a material to its default settings with a single click.
- Improve PBR material editor with better-organized advanced settings using subgroup headers for easier navigation.
- Fix normal maps not automatically enabling when loading a normal map image.

C'est extra ! merci!
Dear Pixelcruncher,
if it's possible in a future version to change the number of pixels in height or width and have the other dimension update accordingly, that would be great. Image resolution scaling by homothety... I don't think that's the case; RS offers "double or half". -
When I move a project, I end up with blue renders... probably an asset path issue? Or maybe it's version 9.85?
-
Yes, I was able to reduce the noise with a mask to which I applied a denoiser effect, but is that the denoiser you're thinking of? It's better anyway.

This post is deleted! -
@Krass Yes, according to the docs, that should be the one.
-
In the latest update, the icons disappeared.
-
@Alattab That sucks, I'm sorry about that.
As a first step, can you try reinstalling the plugin and restarting SketchUp afterwards?
If that doesn't work, can you send me the log files? https://www.rayscaper.com/getting-help/report-a-bug/#1-export-the-log-files - You can send them to thomas at rayscaper.com.
Thanks,
Thomas -
Hello Thomas
Can you tell me why I get a blue display when I change the project folder? -
-
@pixelcruncher I followed your instructions, but the problem persists.

Hi Thomas,
I'm wondering if the animation export settings in the SketchUp project have an impact on the Rayscaper output: because the last animation I made at 30 frames per second in Rayscaper is set to 24 frames per second in SketchUp...

@Krass Can you provide a screenshot of your HDRI path or the texture paths? The paths that Rayscaper couldn't find would have a danger triangle next to them. If you send me the logs then I could also have a look to see which paths aren't detected, hard to tell for me like this what went wrong.
Thanks,
Thomas -
Yes Thomas, I will send it to you tomorrow morning. I tried to reload it from Rayscaper and restart RS, but non way. But did not restart SU. Mau be it 'll work tomorrow. I m not homE now. Yes there was a triangle in front of the image slot
-
@Krass That's great! Could you please attach the SketchUp file, the Normal Map file, and a screenshot showing the settings you used in Rayscaper?
-
Hello yes, I will do it tomorrow. Remind it to me if I forget
