Hello, Pixelcruncher,
I'have installed RS 9.6.9
I'm testing it. When I hide a SU tag it stays visible. The only way seems to Hide a group so that it will not be visible. So: we can't use Hide/reveal Tags?

I use AI Upscale to get a sharper render and correct details, characters, it improves materials, wood, etc.

for the record, all the furniture is really at my house, but I tried to see in these images what I could fit into this apartment that I could buy....
the character is not contractual, I have a shaved head!

Nice render Mike!

@pixelcruncher said in Rayscaper New Releases:

Was this on the first texture, or after multiple imports?

I created a surface and imported a texture

I found a solution to make an image emissive: for example for PC screens on the following images I make a copy of the face that must receive the image and I place it in front 2 or 3 millimeters of the initial face to which I applied an emissive. On this copy of the face I put my image as texture and I increase the Transmission slider, and it works well. (I just discovered this feature!)

Yes! Indeed

quelle galère

I came back to 9.64 version for test

Another crash when reopening RS and trying to apply a texture

crash again, I wasn't doing anything special... Sketchup 2024 and Rayscaper 9.6.8

I can't create an emissive material with an image, if I increase the power the image disappears and the texture is white. I can't make a monitor screen. Can someone help me?

Hello, if I leave Rayscaper open and import a texture directly onto a face (with the import tool) it crashes

Thanks, very usefull function

Yes, Rich Animator is great, but still much more complex to use than the animation tools of D5 render or Twinmotion. When I used it, I was able to render my animations with v-ray, but it was long, long

hello, yes, as I can remember

I paused the rendering and changed the definition, and it didn't crash... "studio" version raw rayscaper

Here's a version with an HDRI map background
But I'm trying to make a "studio" render for a friend, and Sketchup crashes when I change the image resolution during rendering. I set it to 300x400 and double-scaled it twice, and it crashed both times. Should I send a crash report?

Thanks for the details
In truth, I think I'm on the wrong line for the choice of HDRI size definition. I'm confusing it with the size of the textures... sorry for the messages above

Mike Amos Thanks,
I'll have a hard time understanding your joke "Change one thing and you get a call from Sister Carol. Not something for the faint-hearted..." because I'm French and my level of English is limited. But thank you for this feedback.
It's true that the result of "arranged" renderings ends up producing standardized photographic images (I'm thinking of this couple in this image; it looks like an advertising brochure for real estate development), but it's perfect for my clients.
I'm very happy, thanks to AI, to be able to use Rayscaper as a complete rendering engine (characters and vegetation). I find the quality of the rendering engine equal to Vray, but simpler.

before/after: rayscaper project/Nano banana+Magnific upscale

ok, sorry, Indeed, I changed the component name and the instance name... thanks. Perfect, I'll test it.
However, I don't understand. I set the HDR definition to 8k, and it seems that it doesn't take this definition into account. I'll redo the rendering after downloading the map from the site.
