RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@Mike-Amos The current vibe is a skeleton which we will improve over time.
There's many aspects that I am not a fan of either. But the previous was too old and had many security issues we needed to constantly patch. This is huge improvement over that.
Once we get a handle on the current quirks we are seeing then we can start polishing.

BMW/MERC/AUDI algorithm
So my Opel Combo rate must be low! Can I get my avatar in 1mx1m?
Really lovely work though. So unique and personal.

RE: Homebuild Hi-Fi.
That's great. It's like those old Dell business laptops but with a DAW and DJ Controller.
Did you model this? Or is it kitbashed? I want one!

RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@panixia For PMs we will offer a solution to download them as CSV files
All the forums are still there but with the sheer volume of permissions we had it was easier to just set some general permissions here. We will restore fully once this bedding in period lapses.
That said we will be nuking subforums and merging forums for better clarity.
So far we are happy with the reception. We were expecting some frustrations but @rv1974 is not happy unless he is unhappy

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
@Mike-Amos said in Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.:
wy selecting metal results in losing the ability to adjust colour as is the case with plastic etc.
Rayscaper exposes various shaders to the user to help create realistic and accurate materials.
Its Disney Shader is an Uber Shader that has a 'capture all' approach. But the dedicated Plastic and Metal shaders are for scenarios where you need to create a more physically correct material.
You can't colour metal in the traditional sense because other factors influence a metallic colour. In the next Rayscaper I believe he is including a physically correct Metal library
Metallic colouring is achieved by having correct IOR and Absorption values
Rather than doing the maths and twiddling the dials the next release should give you a base to build on.
But in this instance for your fridge I'd use the Disney shader with metallic at 1.0 and Roughness at 0.1 to 0.25

RE: Oooops
@Rich-O-Brien Get off my lawn!
The right side bar's text is kind of small for my aging eyes. Can you make the font bigger?
We'll be tweaking as we go so expect improvements. As you can imagine migrating was a big challenge. Keeping historical stuff was important.
So poke around for a bit before piling on the requests

RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
@HornOxx can you describe what it is you want to do?

RE: RayScaper
@pixelcruncher I hope its a toggleable feature. Having full control over sun position is important for artistic control.
Plus the ability to add more than one directional light is also important. So I would not like that support for SketchUp sun position removes that ability too.
Maybe a 4th light that represent SketchUp sun or if I right click a Di-Light I can set it to SketchUp position.

@gullfo Rich, when can we start filling up the suggestion box? I only have two things.
Be gentle Gus. Its been a huge undertaking to get the old content into this newer system.
I'd love if users just poked around for a few days to see how it works and feels.
But if you see or experience a genuine system error or unusable feature let us know.
You can put them here as I subbed to this thread

RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
@HornOxx The reason I ask is because I use a AutoHotkey Window Resizer to resize SketchUp so the my viewport is a particular ratio. It takes a little bit of setup but saves me from guesswork.
As an example if I hit CTRL+F10 it resizes SketchUp so its viewport is 600px x 600px. Now I can export 1:1 image ratio at whatever resolution I need.
Its a bit hacky but I've used it for years.

RE: RayScaper
@pixelcruncher said in RayScaper:
This was my thinking: have a context menu on the directional light that says sync with SketchUp sun position or have a tick box in the directional light config sync from Sketchup. Then, it would track it in real-time. Option two would be the logical path to quickly support sun animations for shadow studies.
Both sound solid. I used 2 directional light in my Table Lamp scene. Having multiple Di-Lights for me is important to really match real world shadowing effects that a single light cannot achieve.
As long a SketchUp Sun support doesn't impact the flexibility I'm happy to see it.
My preference if lights is getting discussed would be Area Light support
