    • RE: Rayscaper Learning-Practice

      Some more learning 😁

      Here is my latest render. Some progress I think but one thing I am still struggling a little with is setting the scene in SketchUp so that it will produce the view I want in the render.

    • RE: Beautiful door to model

      Wow, what a great start! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

      Just curious, what tools/plugins (if any) did you use to draw this?

      I was thinking about trying this myself. I was thinking about putting the image as a background and then drawing on top of it.

      @rown2000
      Since Twilight Render is going away it would also be neat if you could add Rayscaper to the list.

    • RE: Hi, I am New Here

      @Emilia44 I think the simplest answer is to post a question on how to do something. You will get good answers/instructions on this forum.

    • Trying to fill multiple I frames on a single link

      I have a web page that is used to show SU model. It has 3 iframe oh the page. One of the iframe is a list of models. A second iframe will show the model a the third iframe swill show the model information. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the model name (in iframe 1) show the selected model in iframe 2 and a full description about the model in iframe 3.

      I have looked at several web sites and have not found a solution yet.

      As usual, Majid - nice work. I wish I had the talent to generate something like this. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

      As a sanity check, you are using Rayscaper 0.9.72?

      Yes, I have updated to Rayscaper 0.9.72. I am having ongoing problems. I will let you know more when I can. I will try to create a very basic file and show what I am see both if I generate in model and with render only.

      It is probably going to be much later though. I want to get to the bottom of the problem(s) I am seeing.

    • RE: Rayscaper New Releases

      OK, I just gave things a second go round and things are not generating correctly when I use the "render only" option.

      Here is my SketchUp model which you can use for testing/messing around.

      Here's a quick video on how to use Rayscaper with Skatter. Still trying to get better at making video content πŸ™‚

      Thanks for posting the video. However, in the video you have generated the skattered items in the model. Now what you need to do is to turn on the β€œ Render only” option and then go to Rayscaper and see if the skattered items are generated by Rayscaper.

      I think we are moving in the right direction. Just need to β€œwork some things out”. πŸ˜€

    • RE: Rayscaper New Releases

      OK - Some progress. Although there are some problems, I just did a new test and "kind of" got it to work. Although the grass and bush colors are wrong in the rendered copy, here is the result of the test.

      As I said, this is progress but so far, I can only get this to work with a new project. If I go back to an existing model, I cannot get things to work with an old/existing model. I do cannot get the Generate option to show up.

    • RE: Affinity Studio is Free

      Can someone point me to a good place to ask questions about Affinity.

      As an example, I wanted to italicize some text but it slants the text backwards in stead of forward (like most tools) and I have not found a way to do that or a resource that would give me any clue on how to adjust it.

      For the most part, I have found the information on @Rich-O-Brien’s link VERY helpful but have not found an answer for this question. πŸ˜€

    • RE: Affinity Studio is Free

      OK, I finally had the opportunity to begin working with the application. Thank you again for the link. It has me going. πŸ‘

      I obviously have a long wat to go and MANY things to explore but again, you link has me off and running. It will take some exploring and "trying" but at least I have a starting point.

      All I have done so far is work with the vector graphics tool so I need to do some additional learning/practicing. This looks like a really exciting tool to learn. πŸ˜€
