@pixelcruncher Thanks for the update. Everything seems to be working correctly now.

Hey, Rayscaper friends!

Help me build the community

I'm on Twitter (X) now: https://twitter.com/Rayscaper3d/ - Please follow the @Rayscaper3d that will help me grow the community and spread the word about Rayscaper!

If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders! This will help me showcase its capabilities to other potential users.

Happy Rendering!
OK, I set up an account on Twitter, but I have to say that so far what I see is not something I like. I think there has to be a better way to promote your product and get positive feedback.

I have shared several renders on the Rayscaper Learning-Practice thread. If you think any of them are worth posting somewhere, feel free. The ones I have shared so far are inspired by @majid and his book.

Again, I think it would be good (better IMO) if you started your own forum. Another idea might be to get Rich to set up a category on SketchUcation for Rendering and then a subcategory for Rayscaper (but that might bypass some SketchUp users).

I can confirm that the 0.9.27 update has successfully completed.

Thanks.

I tried it but every time I launched Rayscaper it crashed SketchUp. So I have gone back to 0.9.23.

In order to get it working, I had to uninstall 0.9.27 and then reinstall 0.9.23 (which was the only other download I had).

I have to admit that I am still working with the "free" version. I do like it and anticipate purchasing but I am still trying to lean and improve my skills. One of the things I still have a little problem with is matching stuff I create (in particular vegetation) with HDRI files but I am exploring ways to handle this situation.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich, Gus & TIG. I finally got my act together and was able to figure things out before seeing these last posts. Here is my result (but I like the stuff you guys did as well).

I guess this "exercise" exemplifies my age and lack of use lately.

My latest practice/learning experiment. The Bently car is from the 3D warehouse (do not remember who the contributor/designer was - Sorry).

@ntxdave OK, I adjusted the items you pointed out. And I should have mentioned before that the material was Disney Metalic. However, I made some adjustments:

• Dialed back the metal
• Increased the roughness
• Dialed back the IOR

Hope you find this on to be improved.

@Box Thank you sir! I finally got things working correctly and was able to "play around" a little. The image below represents what I figured out using the FredoScale tools. I greatly appreciate your help.
