      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.

      Help Me Build the Community ๐Ÿ‘

      If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders (final or work-in-progress, it doesn't matter)! This is motivating and helps me showcase its capabilities to new users.

      Follow me on X.

      Happy Rendering!
      Thomas

        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.

                @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

                                    @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
