          Lightly tested this evening. Liking the auto exposure a lot.

              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!

                          Hello
                          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.

                                  Is there a preferred method of removing Rayscaper? Issues with the latest build have been impossible to recover from so far.

                                    @pixelcruncher would be best placed to advise. Did you send him log files?

                                      He is away for a week, a well earned break but he believes there is an issue with the latest build which he aims to fix when he gets back.

                                      I got a new office chair today, supposedly good for bad backs.

                                      If anyone suggests this, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D2HB14FK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

                                      DON'T. More wobbly than a bathtub in the ocean.

                                      Hence headache/backache etc. Jolly good fun. Actually I could give it a pass.

                                      I had a notification of a noo Sketchup build, downloaded it and the only way forwards was repair or delete. Not much of anything working today and Maxwell which WAS working, off on hols too.

                                        OK, after a LOT of faffing, it seems that .92 is being installed adjacent to .91 rather than over it.

                                        I uninstalled .92 today and did a pc restart.

                                        Rayscaper is still present.

                                        Started to render to, on checking it is .91.

                                        Also, not finding the graphics card so reverting to cpu rendering.

                                            Hey, Rayscaper users!

                                            Rayscaper 0.9.93 Beta is available. You can get it via:

                                            • The SketchUcation store.
                                            • Direct download: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.93_Beta.rbz.

                                            I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

                                            What Changed?

                                            • Fix SketchUp tag visibility updates for nested groups and components. Nested geometry now appears and reappears correctly in Rayscaper when you toggle tags in SketchUp, matching the SketchUp viewport more reliably.
                                            • Fix material picking when hidden or invisible objects sit in front of visible geometry. The picker now selects the material you clicked instead of the hidden object blocking it.
                                            • Fix crashes after exploding SketchUp tag folders and then changing tag visibility.
                                            • Improve viewport navigation and panel controls with a simpler pan/zoom path and a fixed panel layout.
