      Great !
      I'm testing your program, in the free version I discovered it when I was looking for free renderers for hobbyists and students and as twilight render disappeared, I came across Rayscaper.
      I'm very impressed: I'm familiar with v-ray, D5 render and Twinmotion, but your tool is great for beginners, but of course for pros at a very, very decent price.
      I'm in charge of a discord room on 3D rendering and plan to make tutorials for all those people who aren't into 3D rendering yet.

        @Krass I appreciate your interest in Rayscaper! Thanks.

        Glad to hear, I hope to build something that is very easy to use at a great price.

          Hello,
          first interior render with GPU, 10 000 samples, took 20:50 mn. Still very noisy

            @Krass, those are nice renders!

            By external denoiser, do you mean the one in Rayscaper or something else?

            Pixel filtering can also help to get rid of some of the jagged lines:

              Hello,
              another test where I changed the lights and set the gaussian filtering mode (radius 1.2 px) to, like antialias, correct the material problems.
              I like the result, but I'd have to add some artificial lights to illuminate the scene.

                  By external denoiser I mean I use a program dedicated to denoising

                        @Krass I like the result.

                        FYI, Rayscaper uses Intel's OpenImageDenoise (link). I think this is the same denoiser that Twilight Render uses in its denoise extension, so you should see comparable results.

                              Nice renders, especially the last one with the dinner plates.Nice use of DOF.

                                @pixelcruncher Hello, I have downloaded sketchup 2025 and rayscaper doesn't work, it just says idle and doesn't render, (and do you have plans to incorporate sketchup's pbr materials into rayscaper's materials?) thanks

                                  Thomas was is aware of the incompatibility with 2025.

                                  Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

                                    Hey, Rayscaper users!

                                    Another release!

                                    Rayscaper 0.9.44 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. More fixes and improvements. As always, I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

                                    What Changed?

                                    • Added support for SketchUp 2025.
                                    • Fixed energy loss in glass materials, which previously caused them to appear too dark.
                                    • Made asset thumbnail size configurable via the settings dialog.
                                    • Fixed reloading of SketchUp materials in Rayscaper.
                                    • Fixed light emission issues with HDRI environments.
                                    • Removed the 1000×1000 pixel resolution limit for the free version.

                                    The asset thumbnail size is configured via the settings dialog:
                                    6897290e-a4cb-4ff5-aff0-d07cb2c60286-image.png

                                    Help me build the community 👍

                                    If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders (final or work-in-progress, it doesn't matter)! This is motivating and will help me showcase its capabilities to new users.

                                    Happy Rendering!

                                      SketchUp 2025 is now supported in version 0.9.44 Beta. Let me know if there are any issues.

                                      I plan to map SketchUp's PBR material to Rayscaper's PBR material in one of the upcoming releases.

                                          Hello, Pixelcruncher,
                                          I updated the rbz from sketchucation, but I don't have this option to choose the thumbnail size.(very good improvement)
                                          But I didn't uninstall rayscaper before reinstalling,

                                          Krass

                                            that's fine, but I had to delete the rayscaper files in the hidden folders and in the sketchup plugins too. that's great, it'll let me look at the texture previews in detail on my laptop...., which has a high-definition screen, and I needed a magnifying glass...
