      I think you’re right.
      On the other hand, I truly believe that Rayscaper fits in perfectly; as a V-Ray user, I know I can replace it with Rayscaper for essential tasks—it’s much more user-friendly.
      I’m planning to try using the Rayscaper Scatter feature as a "fur" tool—for things like rugs, for instance. Other options tend to make V-Ray (or other path-tracing programs) feel clunky and cumbersome.
      What really frustrates me is seeing how interior design and decoration training programs expect decorators to master V-Ray. I often end up with clients who need to complete their training using this "over-complicated mess" of a program, and they reach out to me for help—so I’m forced to use V-Ray to get the job done!

        Rayscaper will stay commercial. The model is a bit different there. Also, people who don't wanna really want to pay for SketchUp are also not gonna pay for Rayscaper. Different user groups.

          Certainly.
          The principle of subscription-based payments for software is a fairly recent development and represents an abuse by major monopolies in the IT sector.

            Seems Open Soursing the modeling part is a reasonable solution! 🙂

                  Seems there is a bug on web version!

                  We can't go to the computer for load a texture!

                  Seems the computer is your computer path! 🙂 or... but not mine!

                        seems it's automatic in Modlumi! 🙂

                          ""How did you render this model?"
                          I make a screen Snapshot (but you can use the Save Image Function of ModLumi ! ;°
                          Then send it to free Gemini where you can make any thing you want!
                          Very simple prompts!

                          In fact modeling is quasi the same than inside SKetchUp !

                          @pilou
                          Very nice models and very good explanation.
                          Thanks for sharing the AI prompt examples.
                          (it would be nice to see some more from time to time).

                          For a total newcomer like me (I tried Sketchup last night for the 1st time), what are the pros and contras of learning Sketchup OR Modlumi?

                          @pixelcruncher
                          I have not yet tried modlumi but I liked the images and videos in the forum 😉
                          What does modlumi do better than Sketchup?
                          What functionalities not available in Sketchup?
                          Will this be opensource or be totally free to use, so being more appropriate for hobby users with low resources?
                          I am mostly interested in designing furniture and also some house+garden over an irregular terrain (slope). Which software would be more appropriate or easier to learn?

                          Thanks in advance to both of you!!

                            For the moment Modlumi is perfect for make prototype of anything! More egonomic!
                            If you are architect of course SketchUp is more adapted!

                            Prompt in Gemini can be just half dozen of words! 🙂
                            Of course you can ask more, but if you send an image that is like 100 words! 😉

                                Here is my first ModLumi model. I know it is not much and I have a long way to go but at least it is a start.
                                Test-V1.png Test-V2.png

                                Now I need to learn some things like:

                                • How to add scenes to a model

                                • How to animate things (like show different views of this model)

                                And of course, a WHOLE lot more.

                                  I believe for the moment no scenes / animation functions! Only pure modeling!

                                    Thanks for the feedback. I really like some of your modeling skills. I would like to know how you draw some the things you do. The models look really complex and I do not know how you do it. I also wish I knew French so I could read some of your posts.

                                      No mysteries! 🙂
                                      Because i use intensively the functions Move, Copy, Rotation +CTRL + / *N, number% --> Make component
                                      Select this new component and repeat the process 3 or 4 times with memory available!
                                      At the end orient yours objects / a snapshot screen send to Gemini and ask anything you want! 😉
                                      All process takes less 5 minutes!
