        Hello,
        you. Can read official manual and help pages on Rayscaper site. Much better and easy to use than a pdf.

          Yes, many people in China have already noticed Rayscaper, and some of my friends are also trying to translate it. Of course, we hope to release an official Chinese version as an official. And when naming materials, we mostly use Chinese characters. Currently, Rayscaper displays "??????" when naming materials with Chinese characters in reality. If this can solve the problem of Chinese operation interface and Chinese characters. I think this will be extremely beneficial for the promotion of Rayscaper in Chinese speaking regions. I can help you correct the Chinese translation results.

            @Alattab Glad the pool works now, the water looks great in that render!

            Watermark: I can't make the watermark of the free version smaller or more transparent, for the reasons I gave earlier. But a license removes it completely, along with the 1280-pixel limit. Your renders come out clean at full resolution and you can use them commercially. You can buy one here: https://sketchucation.com/purchase-smart.php?plugin=rayscaper

            • $99, or $74.99 if you're a SketchUcation Premium member
            • A one-time payment for a perpetual license, no subscription
            • One year of updates included
            • Use it on up to 3 computers
            • 14-day money-back guarantee

            More details are in the licensing FAQ: https://rayscaper.com/faq/licensing/

            PDF manual: As @Krass said, the manual at https://rayscaper.com/manual/ covers every setting, with images and videos, and it's always up to date with the latest release, which a PDF wouldn't be. If something is missing or unclear there, let me know and I'll add it.

            Light theme: Noted, I've put it on the list.

            Keep the feedback coming!

            Cheers,

            Thomas

              @lightscape Thank you, that's great to hear, and thanks for offering to review the translation!

              The "??????" in material names is a bug: the font Rayscaper uses doesn't include Chinese characters, so it can't draw them. I'll fix that first. It's needed for a Chinese interface anyway.

              Then I'll prepare a Simplified Chinese translation of the interface and send it to you for review before it's released. I'll contact you when it's ready.

              If others want Rayscaper in their language, reply here. I'll start with the languages that have someone who can review them.

              Cheers,

              Thomas

                @lightscape Thanks for the tutorials, that would be a big help in China!

                About the denoiser wiping out texture detail: I'd like to fix that rather than have you render without it. Could you post the same view with AI Denoise on and off, cropped to a spot where you see the detail disappear? Please also tell me your Rayscaper version and graphics card. I'll look into keeping more of the texture, or adding a way to set how strong the denoiser is.

                Cheers,

                Thomas

                  Hi,

                  I'm currently trying out your software and I'm really impressed so far! I'm using it on a Mac, and it runs exceptionally well.

                  Would you recommend waiting for the final release? Are there any significant changes or improvements still planned, or would it make sense to purchase the beta version now?

                  Best regards from Germany,
                  LEV

                    @LevAM Thanks for the kind words!

                    If you buy a license, you still get everything in the pipeline for the full 1.0 release. So you won't be missing out. We are close to the 1.0 release, so most of it is already developed internally; we are just still testing and writing docs. The most significant one will probably be translations, i.e., using Rayscaper in German (or whatever other language we support).

                    We keep fixing bugs and making small improvements as we go. We have always been sneaking small things into releases.

                    Cheers,

                      I tested using the latest 104 version and found that the black wood grain on the ground had visible textures in the distance without noise reduction. Using noise reduction blurs the image.. Of course, the pixel limit of the trial version prevented me from testing larger images.. But I believe the result of rendering high-resolution images should be similar. If there is an unlimited version that can be tested, I think I can test more aspects of the problem. For example, whether there are any issues with outputting EXR, the duration of rendering large images, and so on. Rayscaper cannot be used as our company's main rendering tool at the moment, so I can only use the beta version for now

                              Does Rayscaper support proxies?
