No hassle, stuff happens remain chill mate.

Magic, thanks again mate. Smiley day.

No idea, the licensing of some apps is related to lag and response time from the forum but that IS related to internet rather than Sketchucation issues.

The bundle this is dealt with by installing the apps separately, possible account issues?

The issue with material libraries not being present has gone now and I can cross pollinate libraries so I can have the basics from 2024 in 2026. Jobbed.

OK, clean install, now the sketchucation store bundles will not install, great week to give up snorting stout.

No, I tried that early doors.

I am talkikng the standard mats in the relevant sketchup mats folders.

I was not but onedrive is an arse. Reinstallation does not fix the issue. Possible uninstall, clean install. Best I can come up with.

Standard installation, sketchup 2024 and 2026.

Some issues I have are now gone but, opening the mats file in appdata gives nothing but an empty folder.

I am admin but chasing rainbows atm. Any pointers? Clues?

OK, after a LOT of faffing, it seems that .92 is being installed adjacent to .91 rather than over it.

I uninstalled .92 today and did a pc restart.

Rayscaper is still present.

Started to render to, on checking it is .91.

Also, not finding the graphics card so reverting to cpu rendering.

Hey Mike,

I'm sorry to hear you're running into these issues with Rayscaper. Would you mind sending me this scene so I can have a look?

Summarizing your woes:

• Auto-exposure is behaving strangely. Mike, I'm still not sure what you mean by this.

************Auto exposure doing funky things is a fraction where the interior and exterior are mismatched.

The exterior tends towards overexposure when the interior is properly or slightly underexposed**********.**

• Geometry does not appear in the renders.

Sometimes geometry just fails to export to Rayscaper, that or it is deleted. Restart can fix this sometimes.

• Viewport shows CPU, while you have enabled GPU rendering.

Simples, Sometimes the render window shows CPU rendering with my selecting it.

• Rendering fails.

Mostly when the CPU method is self appointed, nothing in the render window at all.

I think it's easier if you send me the scene and, preferably, the logs when such a render failure occurs (https://www.rayscaper.com/getting-help/report-a-bug/#1-export-the-log-files), so I can try to reproduce/fix these problems.

Thanks,
Thomas

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.

Repeated more than half a dozen times, same subject render.

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.
