      @Mike-Amos If you don't like them, I can add a small feature to hide this panel so you can have more viewport?

          Hey, Rayscaper users!

          Rayscaper 0.9.91 Beta is available. You can get it via:

          • The https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2677-rayscaper.
          • Direct download: https://rayscaper-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/SketchUp/Windows/Rayscaper_Win_0.9.91_Beta.rbz.

          I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

          What Changed?

          • Add tone mapping options β€” choose from ACES Filmic, Filmic (Hable), PBR Neutral, Linear, or Reinhard to control the look of your renders.
          • Add color grading controls β€” fine-tune renders with white balance temperature, tint, and contrast sliders.
          • Add auto-exposure β€” exposure now adjusts automatically to scene lighting, with a toolbar toggle and compensation slider.
          • Improve asset library reliability β€” fix occasional failures when browsing or downloading Poly Haven assets.

          Below screenshot shows the new post-processing capabilities:

          capabilities to new users.

              @pixelcruncher Is there any update on the bug that if I have a group nested in a different group, that nested group is always visible even if it is on a tag that is turned off?

                  Nice render!

                  @krass @sashapepperspray - I can reproduce the issue, I'm looking into it for the next release. I'm sorry for the delay!

                          you are too fast Pixelcruncher !
                          I'm still using 0.9.91 for this photomontage

                          render with Rayscaper 0.9.91, characters generated with D5 Lite and

                          character’s outline using Photoshop. To be in tune with the times, I naturally put the man in charge of the kitchen.

                            Here, the same exercise, but the aim is to maintain consistency by keeping the points of view the same with the same characters.

                              1- So, a "consistency" test, meaning renderings from different viewpoints with the same characters. It's not perfect, but the method is to create two 3D renderings (here in Rayscaper) and place the image in SketchUp. Then, I ask D5 Render Lite's AI to add characters to the first viewpoint. I also give D5 the same image as a reference. Then, I take the least bad result and create a Photoshop montage.

                              2- To get the same characters from a different viewpoint, I place the new rendering with a new viewpoint in SketchUp and give D5 Lite my latest image with the characters. I then request the same characters in a different location.

                                Ah! Thomas, the ambient occlusion is perfect in version 0.9.92!

                                      other Rayscaper render with D5 characters, but I should have changed the scale of the characters, which is messed up, but I'm too lazy.

                                          OK, for some reason the settings are set at USE GPU but the render window states CPU and the times are slow enough.

                                            Considering that win dose is once again deleting files I am at odds as to what to do next. micro snot are less use than a pre used nasal tissue.
