    • RE: Rayscaper New Releases

      He is away for a week, a well earned break but he believes there is an issue with the latest build which he aims to fix when he gets back.

      I got a new office chair today, supposedly good for bad backs.

      If anyone suggests this, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D2HB14FK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

      DON'T. More wobbly than a bathtub in the ocean.

      Hence headache/backache etc. Jolly good fun. Actually I could give it a pass.

      I had a notification of a noo Sketchup build, downloaded it and the only way forwards was repair or delete. Not much of anything working today and Maxwell which WAS working, off on hols too.

      Is there a preferred method of removing Rayscaper? Issues with the latest build have been impossible to recover from so far.

      Stuff is expected with a beta release program, not the end of the world in any way.

      I have Maxwell render running the scene so the model is not at fault.

      I have had some time to finesse the layout and make sure stuff just 'fits' and is doable.

      Rayscaper has reverted to cpu rendering method again.

      I cannot do so but it was definitely selected as 'thin' AFIK. Normal habit is to do so.

      No render proceeding ATM due to this report.....

      OK, auto exposure OFF (It will get there) and set at 7.5. I also fixed the blind which was rather abused. I have confirmed to my own satisfaction that when items and finishes/colours go missing, a restart of Rayscaper will fix the problem. Also, do not use cleanup for the whole model, elements in turn. Otherwise you will have your Rayscaper lights deleted.

      OK, I understand the plague that is removing Rayscaper lights.
      "Cleanup", is removing the Rayscaper lights.
      Frustrating but at least I got something out of today.

      May have needed a restart which cures some content glitches.

      OK HDRI only light source outside the model, painted on to a surface half the building height as a scaling mechanism. HDRI set to 0.80.
