Rayscaper New Releases

I bring greetings from China, and many designers and rendering creators around me have praised Rayscaper's official quick and serious response. The launch of the Chinese version has increased everyone's interest in using Ray. We have conducted a preliminary screening of the content of existing Chinese translations in the WeChat community. There is basically no incomprehensible content. I would like to express my respect for your work

@lightscape Thanks for the kind words! And of course, we hope this might be the trigger for many creators in China to become Rayscaper customers!

Cheers,
Thomas

It would be best to create a drop-down menu for glass presets.

Hey folks,

A new Mac beta is up: Rayscaper 0.9.106. Same link as before: Rayscaper for Mac

What's new since 0.9.105:

No more crash next to other extensions: starting a render could crash SketchUp when an extension such as Unreal Datasmith was installed. Such an extension loads its own copies of libraries that Rayscaper uses too, and macOS handed those to Rayscaper. Rayscaper now ships its libraries under names of its own, so they can't get mixed up. Thanks to the tester who sent their logs!
A calmer, more polished interface: clearer text hierarchy, quieter controls with their values lined up, dropdowns with readable lists, and a status bar that shows what Rayscaper is doing and, when a render fails, why.
Faster value editing: drag a label to change its value, double-click a slider to type one, and type values with units (35 %, 2 ft, 90°). Right-click a setting in Post Processing or Render to reset it to its default.
Feedback when you save: saving a render, preset or material shows a notification with Show in Folder, and errors tell you what to do next.
Scene tabs set the sun: selecting a SketchUp scene tab now also sets the sky to that scene's time and date. Before, it kept the sun of the previous scene.

If you installed an earlier beta: install this one over it with the Extension Manager, then restart SketchUp.

Thanks to everyone testing, keep the feedback coming!

Cheers, Thomas

What about the Windows operating system community?

When I place a static image in front of the glass, its reflection does not appear. I imported the image using the "import image" function.
