Rayscaper New Releases

[Krass]

Hello yes, I will do it tomorrow. Remind it to me if I forget

[pixelcruncher]

@Krass These settings have no bearing on the animations that Rayscaper renders.

[pixelcruncher]

@Alattab, I will have a look at this and maybe provide an installer. I'm not sure what happened here right now. Will get back to you.

Thanks,
Thomas

You can download an installer here: https://rayscaper-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/SketchUp/Windows/Rayscaper_Win_0.9.85_Beta_Setup.exe - Can you try using the installer to see if it works better for you?

Regards,

@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?

@Krass Thank you for your efforts.

I am trying to turn an image on a television into an emmiter. I thought I remember seeing that it was not possible in Rayscraper but I can't seem to find that thread again. Is that still the case? And if so, is that possibly something that could added in a future release? Right now I am adding that in post production, but it would be very handy if the feature could be done within Rayscraper.

I have not been able to replicate the effect yet.

[Krass]

Hello, there is a tip to do that for a fixed picture : put an emissive plane a few centimeters behind your image then increase "transmission"

[Mike Amos]

Thanks for the tip/reminder.

[pixelcruncher]

@NeilNovotny We don't support texture emission yet, but it's on our feature list. For now, you can follow the tip @krass posted.

Cheers,
Thomas

Excellent. And thank you for the help. After working with Twilight for so long, I am slowly working my way through Rayscraper.

Hey, Rayscaper users!

Rayscaper 0.9.87 Beta is available. You can get it via:

• The SketchUcation store.
• Direct download: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.87_Beta.rbz.

I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

What Changed?

• Add tri-planar mapping support for textures. Materials can now use tri-planar projection instead of UV mapping, which avoids stretched textures on surfaces without proper UVs.
• Automatically apply tri-planar mapping to PolyHaven materials when the model has no UVs. Downloaded materials now look correct out of the box without manual texture coordinate setup.
• Sort the material list alphabetically to match SketchUp's material panel ordering.
• Fix the Asset Manager sometimes getting stuck in a loading state when switching between assets quickly.
• Fix color space detection for opacity and roughness textures. These textures now render correctly when using automatic color space detection.
• Fix environment power slider feeling awkward near zero. The slider now smoothly blends to zero instead of snapping discontinuously at the far left.

Thanks a lot Pixelcruncher, tri-planar mapping is great improvement !

[Krass]

a small issue

I just sent you my log file

IMHO, there is zero requirement to "Load assets" full stop. Perhaps instead, just have links to load what we need at the time. It gets in the way and for me has little in the way of voracity for the render in hand. Sorry, just my ten pence worth.
