Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.

pixelcruncher

I am going to have a look at that but it seems most of the problems are based around lost settings for colour/texture/material between openings of Rayscaper.

Thanks for reporting. If there are easy-to-reproduce examples, please send them my way. I appreciate the help.

I believe this is nothing serious and only a matter of time. I know you are getting this right mate. Thanks for making this soon to be great program.

I appreciate your support, Mike!

Cheers,
Thomas

@pixelcruncher Moving on a bit.

I have noted that textures that are repeated as in the wood texture on the furniture, can become corrup. the scaling can be lost but sampling from a different piece of that furniture can fix the issue. It's not apparent here for example.

The 'chilli cat' image here has rescaled too. Originally stretched is has reduced in size in the render.

Success creating a normal from a texture via Affinity photo. Lightened here in Irfanview.

Try this Mike, you can drag in your texture and within 2 seconds you will have a normals map, and in fact any other type of map.

Very sharp, thanks mate.

Looking at camera views and trying for a defined FoV. This top view with a 'Cap' is handy to see where in the render scene, I need lights.

Still trying for the right mix but it will take a bit of fiddling.

1st is without a domplete roof cap the second with.

I change a directional light for a round light and experienced Crash #146881.

I will restart and go again.

@Mike-Amos Do you mind sending me that scene again? I would like to investigate why the scaling is off.

Mike Amos

@pixelcruncher

I have sent the model earlier. a few adjustments, the circular lights in the ceiling to 5w and the spotlights to 20w which makes them more obvious in the render.

Bout it re4ally.

Not convinced by the shower unit which is meant to be chrome so another look later. Minime Camera test 6 500 S 32m 06s gpu Ir Cropped.jpg

Ta mate, getting there but it's a whole new system.

Very much enjoying the ride.

@Mike-Amos

Moving onwards, had some incidents of the pc shutting down without my input. Seems to be a win doze thing again but I'm keeping an eye on it.

View change. Still trying to work out a better scene in such a small build.

To better fit everything in the viewing panel I have tried a panoramic image.
I do not have a panroramic viewer right now but it seems better ballanced.!
