@Natural-Edge I just purchased an OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-wdOxxx and so far I am very happy with it. The processor is 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TN) i7-1362oH, 2400 MHz, 19 Core(s) 16 Logical Processor(s).
So far it seems like everything I do in SU runs much faster. BTW: I also use the Skatter plugin for placing foilage. 
@pixelcruncher OK, was just curious if anyone had any to share. I have not tried any yet.
I have the Skatter plugin where you can add bushes and etc to models and it does not support Rayscaper.
Would like to see some though if anyone has any.
Does anyone have any examples of exterior renders they have done with Rayscaper?
Is there any chance that Rayscaper is going to work with Lindale so that it is one of the render applications available in the Skatter plugin?
@ntxdave said in Rayscaper Learning-Practice:
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rick, I appreciate this. Are things like this included anywhere in the documentation?
Sorry about the typo Rich. I tried to edit it but could not do that after I had submitted it. I thought there was a way to do that.
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rick, I appreciate this. Are things like this included anywhere in the documentation?
I am in the process of learning how to use Rayscaper and have run into a question that I would like some feedback about. As you look at the image below, you will see that I have highlighted the Metalic IOR setting. There are 3 settings for this category and I have not quite figured out what the 3 settings are. Hope someone can explain them to me.
OK still a little more progress.
Noticed a problem in the model so fixed it and re-rendered.
Then I played with another setting and like this one a little more.
I am going to start another thread about Rayscaper Learning-Practice as I continue to learn how to render with Rayscaper and also a place to ask questions.
@pixelcruncher OK, I just did some more "playing around" and here is the result.
Final result: 
And here are the settings I used to get here: 
Still a long way to go to get comfortable with Rayscaper but progress is one step at a time.
Well, progress, I think. But still a LOT to learn about how to use the tool.
Oh No, the background in the render is not what I was seeing during the render.
BTW: Here is the settings I used for the frame which is still not exactly as shinny as I was wanting.
@pixelcruncher Thank you sir. I will give these a try. 
This is all part of the learning process.
@ntxdave OK, now I have a silly question. Is there a way to save the settings I used in the above render?
@pixelcruncher Well, after playing around and trying a lot of settings, here is my first render. The metal frame is not quite as shinny as I would like it but, again, this is my first render. Also, the background is darker that I would like.
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. This file worked MUCH better. It is not exactly like the one in the in the video but it is close enough that I can now get the hang of things.
I will now have to try some stuff with one of my own models.
I appreciate your feedback/support so I can begin to try Rayscaper and hopefully start moving forward.
I was using the file from the tutorial and just clicked on the RayScaper icon and that is what showed up. I thought this was a file you created. I thought I did exactly what was shown in the tutorial. To me, this isnot solved.
@pixelcruncher I am having a problem trying to get started. Here is what I am seeing when I click on the Rayscaper icon in SU 2024.
According to the video, I thought I was using the correct file. I am using RziO_rs_shader_ball-scenev2020
What is going on/am I doing wrong?
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. That is what I thought but some place I thought I thought their product or web site said something about 2020.
Right now I have thr trial version but it is about to expire. I need to go try something again because u thought I saw an error but I will have to evaluate that.
If I purchase RayScaper will I be able to install and use it with both 2024 and 2020? I also have a new laptop. Will I be able to install it on both of my laptops?
Will the latest version of SketchUcation Tools work on SU 2020? I finally got SU 2020 working on my new laptop and now need to the my extensions working. If I install SketchUcation Tools I would then be able to use the Bundles to install my extensions on the new machine.
So, again, what version of SktechUcation Tools do I need to install with SU 2020?
@Rich-O-Brien Yes I had done that before but for some reason it did not work. It now worked so I think all is OK.
Thanks for the support.
