      The raw Sketchup vioew will demonstrate what I mean when I mention textures not making it into Rayscaper.

      The SketchUp viewport has four coat hangers; in the Rayscaper viewport, there are six. Were these screenshots captured at the same time?

      Which textures are you referring to? A user may configure a totally different look for a material in Rayscaper, so the one-to-one correspondence isn't always a given.

      Cheers,
      Thomas

        On the cooktop, the metal texture was set to aluminium, this often has a bronze look to it, colour changes for some reason I cannot get yet. Plastic finish gets a green reflectance.

        I am running into what I believe is 'texture bloat' which is going to take my changing things before I can fix that.

        For a while I am going back to making cars while I figure out how to build architecture realistically given certain constraints.

        As for the coat hooks, there are six and this may be something to do with the long running issues I have with this pc.

          OK, running into the faux illumination from png transparecny, not idea why so perhaps a glitch?

          Still having massive freeze events for a cause I cannot guess.

            I have updated the NVidia softwqare for the onboard graphics, funnily enough NOT selected in Rayscaper. Lost a texture or possibly more. Clueless in Settle INHO.

                What’s up with the chair material? Is it emitting fake light?

                  Not set up to emit a fake light value but, exactly the same as the Ford A hotrod I tried to render in Rayscaper, it acquires the value.

                  I believe it is a bug connected with transparency png files.

                    @Mike-Amos That's a good pointer, it does seem to get light emitting properties when using transparent PNGs. Will look into this.

                      Well, randomness is a fact of so it does not surprise me that items saved in a model vanish.

                      Mostly lights but now, huge chunks of geometry.
