Rayscaper render.

[Mike Amos]

Well, the layout is definitely derivative.

I find that my method of modelling creates a few issues with Rayscaper render so I shall have to look into new mthods with each floor level a group and lights outside of these.

There are a number of artifacts which come and go to an extent. The tops of the walls and the floor texture have a dark weblike appearance which I suspect has to do with light levels.

Otherwise a case of moving on a little by little, test and redo.

I would dial the roughness on the bedding way up and add sheen since its a fabric.

I'd wait until there's a new build of Rayscaper as the current has gremlins.

[Mike Amos]

What? They let the Gremlins get wet?

Despite the gremlins, nice render. Working on chasing down the gremlins.

@pixelcruncher OK, another week another Windoze solution that is not. Not able to activate the Rayscaper license now.

Manage your seats at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php

If you keep activating on different devices you will run into seats exceeded.

You need to release seats on devices you don't use.

Got it Rich, the system not reacting to inputs was a bit of a drain but I got there. I cannot match the sketchup viewport in Rayscaper now but then since reset of windoze, everything has been more than a little off.

I cannot say the entertainment level is low tho'.

OK guys, this is not a very good one, but I have been doing some fooling around and testing. First, I will share some pictures of something I received from a fried that I then did a 3D model of using SketchUp and then rendered with Rayscaper.

Here are some images of what i received: (OK, images too large)

Here is my render with Rayscaper:

I know this is not very fancy. I would like to have some advice as to how it might be made better.

HDR environment light. Search the Studio category and set the Transparent flag on.

With the lighting set you can play with materials to see how they interact with the light.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks @Rich-O-Brien . I will try this later.

I have some images/photos that I took with my iPhone that I would like to share, however, I am having problems opening them. They say that are PNG file but every app I try to open them with says they are not a valid file type.

Can someone give me some advice about how to open these files so that I can get them into a format/size that I can share on the forum?

One of the things I would like for people to see is that the item that was share with me, and the model I created and shared in the previous post is not really created the way viewers might suspect. The word "Jesus" was created by creating pieces that are attached to a wood block that outline the word. It was not created by adding text to the block. I found this kind of interesting and is what inspired me to create a model using the same technique.
