Centre stage is the senior partner.......

The truth is, giving up artistic and creative instincts is a negative sum. We will be worse off for it. I have not tried the service I referenced but it is suggested that it respects geometry and texture of the model being rendered, no evidence of that so I cannot say.

I am reminded of the HG Wells book, The time machine. A future world where subterranean monsters hunt and devour surface dwelling simpletons. Fugly evil subterranean types and beautiful but stupid surface dwellers more like sheep after a lobotomy.

If ai can be limited to assisting with lighting suggestions and denoising maybe. As a learning tool, that too but otherwise, no thanks Whoda thunk it, a Trekkie Troglodite........

OK, not sleeping sometimes has a positive side to it, thought a bit on an old model 'rod and added a few new elements.

I am noticing that Rayscaper does not always update elements, groups/components as It should but a restart of Rayscaper sorts that right off the bat so NOT a problem.

I have mentioned Maxwell render before, used it to probably not its best but IMHO, Rayscaper beats Maxwell render hands down, NOW, let alone the future.

My big fascination which I am sure you will get, is cars. Ever since I could hold a pencil. Steve, I owe you for inspiring me to never give up with your talent and humility. Thank you, Sir.

Likewise, and to all living there right now.

Not to mention the other folk living there and hotspots, too many tin pot dick taters and I include a certain mop threatening to invade Greenland in that.

What on the planet are they drinking/smoking/sniffing/sucking on?

Don't mind if I do.

So I try.

I know, sometimes when things go pear shaped, I get the urge to laugh my head off.

Last night the screen went off the charts crazy, dialogue boxes opening and closing all over the screen and I thought everything AND the kitchen sink had gone nuts.

Switched it off and went to Bedfordshire.

This AM, tried again and same thing. Thought about it and narrowed it down to an input problem, then plugged a spare keyboard (OK, old keyboard) and nada. so I vacuum cleaned the current keyboad and everything is back to normal.

Cat fur.

Miaoooooooooow.

I can only concur with that sentiment.

No, not a James Bond or James Bondage even, film.

In the mould of Colin Chapman, Bruce McLaren, Sir Frank Williams etc but the last of his kind we shall see in F1.

Always outspoken and never short of an opinion I think he polarised with F1 fans but tbh, always managed to be a fine Irishman, pundit and genuine human being.

RIP to that great paddock where the oil is always Castrol R and the smell/sounds of real F1 rather than souped up hair dryers.

Give 'em some 'stick' Eddie.

^, Seconded etc. Stay in touch when you can brother.

Curviloft does a good job to be fair, not sure why you need anything else. Upright extruder perhaps (Or whatever it is called now).

I had to restart the pc because it runs for a while then starts to slow and lockup.

Loving this new responsible microsnot stuff, leaving us to run our pc's without embugerence........... No mizz smell checker I do NOT mean that.

Well, started using Sketchup 2024 with new locations without onedrive and it falls over, a LOT. Onedrive IS the culprit still and I cannot do a thing anywhere even firefox and enid the microsnot browser fall over lagging and crying enuffski. Microsnot want a war do they?

What is your question for the forum?

Eureka, I think you have it...

Well, since installing .94 the (Rayscaper) application will not open or respond in any way. I also cannot create groups or components in Sketchup 2026 by the methods I know.
Installing in Sketchup 2024, as opposed to Sketchup 2026 demonstrate none of these issues so I am working on the premise that Sketchup 2026 is the culprit. I am still finding lots of onedrive 'bits' everywhere so possibly part of the problem I have zero doubt that Rayscaper is clear in this.
It is after all a day with a 'why the hell not' in it.
I have gone through the repair process with the offline version of the Sketchup (2026) installer as recommended.

No, just an HDRI and a mostly closed area. HDRI comes in via the missing "ceiling".

Well, rendering difficult and even builds going a bit skrewie, so, giving it a go with a simpler and more simplistic scene.

Kitchen cabinets, various but not done with it yet. A sales/showroom scene perhaps later.

If you are sticking to Sketchup 2017, you may need to look to Blender for anything dwg. I believe you can export as stl but it's been a while.
