      Everything you added this time is isefull

      Some of these features, like Fredo animator integration, have been on my hard disk 90% finished for a looong time. I'm taking a different approach now and just releasing things instead of anxiously fretting about perfection.

        Be aware that automatically generating an MP4 file involves compression; for the final edit of a high-quality project, it is indeed better to work with individual PNG files and let the editing software handle the compression later. That said, having the option to generate an immediate preview is very useful—just be sure to check "Keep Frames" if you intend to use the output for your final edit.

          Thomas,
          In the latest version, I am unable to create any light points.

            @Krass Yikes, I'm having a look. Will likely update with a new hotfix release.

            thanks for reporting!

            Cheers,

              Hey, Rayscaper users!

              Rayscaper 0.9.104 Beta is available. This is a hotfix for 0.9.103.

              Heads-up: I couldn't upload 0.9.104 to the SketchUcation store yet, so the store still has 0.9.102. Please download it directly: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.104_Beta.rbz.

              If you use SketchUp 2024 with 0.9.103, please upgrade.

              What Changed?

              • Fix placing lights in SketchUp 2024: in 0.9.103, the light tools couldn't add a light to a model that had no Rayscaper lights yet.

              Thanks to @krass for reporting it!

                Just a quick question, I am hoping that mirrors make a comeback, they seem to be missing lately.

                  @Mike-Amos Mirrors are still there, they just moved! Since 0.9.99 the Mirror is a Finish of the Standard material instead of a material type of its own: select the material, keep Material Type on Standard and pick Mirror under Finish. That gives a perfect reflection, tinted by the material's color.

                  Older Mirror materials open as Standard materials with that finish, so they keep their look. There's also a ready-made Mirror and Bronze mirror in the Rayscaper material library in the Asset Manager.

                      There is an issue in the latest version: when "pool" is selected, the pool water turns green.

                        I am an interior designer, and I did not turn on AI noise reduction for this test image. For me, Raysacper's AI noise reduction is too strong, erasing some texture details. So I usually don't turn it on now.
                        Thank you for your hard work. I really like Rayscaper and I would recommend it to designers around me. I will also launch tutorials on how to use Rayscaper on video websites in China in the near future

                            @lightscape Are you a Chinese speaker? I noticed that on Chinese forums, users are hacking the Rayscaper binary to inject Chinese translations. But if there's interest from Chinese users, I might as well provide translations for the software in Chinese (and other languages). Would you be able to help me review it, because I would need to use AI to do the translation and have no clue if it's correct.

                            In fact that goes for other languages as well. If users are interested in this, I'm happy to provide translations, given that users can help me review, because I need to rely on AI here as well. And faulty translations might hurt the reputation of Rayscaper.

                            Cheers,
