@pixelcruncher
thank you for this update, and putting back the noise/ mix/ checkerboard options.

I gave the code of this plugin to ai, and asked him to write a manual, here it is.Sculpt Tools Manual.pdf

@pixelcruncher thank you very much

@pixelcruncher Hello, I have downloaded sketchup 2025 and rayscaper doesn't work, it just says idle and doesn't render, (and do you have plans to incorporate sketchup's pbr materials into rayscaper's materials?) thanks

@pixelcruncher Thanks, it works

thank you very much

I just noticed a bug, Most files (I think it is if they were created before 2026, and I am opening them in 2026) that I open the rayscaper window in, all the faces are blue, and I have to reset every material to see the textures.
Also, One file (it is on the warehouse here https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/6e2af6cd-7fde-487b-99f4-919da24ecd11/the-original-second-temple) whenever I open rayscaper in it, sketchup just closes.
here si pictures of the first bug

@pixelcruncher thank you so much!

I think I figured something out about the blue material bug, I can make it happen in any file if I use the "edit texture in external editor" in the sketchup material editor, It shows up as blue.
(Another thing I noticed, is that If i edit a material in sketchup, it does not automatically update the material in rayscaper.)

In the past view weeks, I worked with ai to make a subdivision and mesh reduction plugin. I started off with this old plugin (https://github.com/NB70/sketchup-loop-subdivision), and got the ai to improve it, and then I got it to make a dynamic subdivision plugin, and a mesh reduction plugin. I don't really know ruby coding, so I can't say it will work, but it works for me. I will attach it here, hopefully someone finds it useful. I also am attaching a manual, generated by ai (obviously) from the code.
