Rayscaper New Releases

pixelcruncher

@Krass Thanks for the feedback! The final render looks very impressive.

Scatter renders huge dark flat shapes over the terrain.

Can you send me the scene so I can have a proper look?

Texture edits made with "Edit in graphic editor" aren't picked up. I filed this as a bug.

Will have a look, the other caching bug you reported should have been fixed.

Scatter needs a SketchUp restart after moving groups or changing the hierarchy.

Do you have something to reproduce this or a screen capture?

Save and load presets of the settings.

Planned

Color variation for scattered instances.

On the list.

Polygon limits and distant instances.

Rayscaper keeps every instance in the render and lets the GPU handle it, there's no distance cutoff or other tricks like in D5. Instances share their geometry, so the memory goes mostly to the components themselves, not the instance count. I'd like to hear where it breaks for you.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hello,
I am not certain that the bug—with the artifacts that appeared consistently—stems from the graphics card memory, because I was subsequently able to add a large, fairly resource-intensive grassy area without any issues. I am going to try to recreate the flowerbed that caused the problem.

this time, in he morning opening fresh model, it worked!. Mystery.

Krass

do you want the file anyway?

Hello,
There’s something that bothers me: the material rotation setting: you can no longer simply enter a value in degrees (unless I’m mistaken)—the slider is active. I find it hard to enter a precise value, especially 180...
