RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@Mike-Amos The current vibe is a skeleton which we will improve over time.
There's many aspects that I am not a fan of either. But the previous was too old and had many security issues we needed to constantly patch. This is huge improvement over that.
Once we get a handle on the current quirks we are seeing then we can start polishing.

BMW/MERC/AUDI algorithm
So my Opel Combo rate must be low! Can I get my avatar in 1mx1m?
Really lovely work though. So unique and personal.

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
@Mike-Amos said in Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.:
wy selecting metal results in losing the ability to adjust colour as is the case with plastic etc.
Rayscaper exposes various shaders to the user to help create realistic and accurate materials.
Its Disney Shader is an Uber Shader that has a 'capture all' approach. But the dedicated Plastic and Metal shaders are for scenarios where you need to create a more physically correct material.
You can't colour metal in the traditional sense because other factors influence a metallic colour. In the next Rayscaper I believe he is including a physically correct Metal library
Metallic colouring is achieved by having correct IOR and Absorption values
Rather than doing the maths and twiddling the dials the next release should give you a base to build on.
But in this instance for your fridge I'd use the Disney shader with metallic at 1.0 and Roughness at 0.1 to 0.25

I am wondering is there any way to save the materials I make, locally?

RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@panixia For PMs we will offer a solution to download them as CSV files
All the forums are still there but with the sheer volume of permissions we had it was easier to just set some general permissions here. We will restore fully once this bedding in period lapses.
That said we will be nuking subforums and merging forums for better clarity.
So far we are happy with the reception. We were expecting some frustrations but @rv1974 is not happy unless he is unhappy

RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24
@ELEV_Trav said in [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24:
Can you clarify which one is which, with the version of the software being Skp 2024 Pro, so that we make sure we're purchasing the correct licenses for the right plugins?
RoundCorner is included in the bundle.
FredoCorner is a more powerful bevelling extension with parametric type features.
Both work on SU 2024. If you're looking for more control over the bevel profiles then FredoCorner would be the way to go. If you're executing conventional edge rounding the RoundCorner would be the weapon of choice.
Both also can be trialled.

RE: Rayscaper Sample Model Download
Try this one but it is in your own interest to troubleshoot so you can get a firm grasp of the software.
As I mentioned, older files were tailored to earlier builds. Expect unwanted results. Rayscaper is not a finished product.

RE: Rayscaper Sample Model Download
@ntxdave Looks like you've no lights or environment to cast light.
Please bear in mind that older Rayscaper builds and files that worked on those builds may not work as expected on newer Rayscaper builds.
For info on how to add environmental light or light components I suggest seeing if it is covered in the docs.

RE: Camera management
Fredo Portrait allows you to control orientation of a camera but not world position.
SketchUp's native Position Camera tool allows you to place a camera at a location then set it's height. If you then switch to Zoom tool and hold SHIFT you set the FOV.
I use a mix of those 3 to create cameras

RE: An Old Bar Clamp
The lengths custodians go to to keep customers at the bar! At least you've less chance of falling over!
Really nice presentation. I'll keep saying, but when it comes to raw SU output, you lead the pack. Reminds me of the assembly drawings from old overhaul manuals we had in Lufthansa.
Only thing missing is big dirty paw marks!
