okay, thanks (a feature request- maybe you can make a seperate reload button for the regular texture, for the metalness, roughness, and normal maps, so If I edit the regular texture in sketchup but want to keep the metallness changes in rayscaper I can do that.)

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.)

@pixelcruncher thank you so much!

@pixelcruncher said in Rayscaper New Releases:

produce this wit
here is one with the bug, the stone texture does not work.
terrrain.skp

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 very much!

@pixelcruncher thank you

@pixelcruncher any update on when the material inheritance is going to be fixed?

maybe vbo jump to levels-https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/584dba2f-6938-4f03-a1de-df61213cc672/vbo-jump2levels

thank you very much

thank you for the new release.
I noticed two bugs with this release

1. it does not Support SketchUp material inheritance anymore. Faces, or objects that have the default material painted on them, but the group that they are in have a material, show up as unpainted (with the default material).
2. the rendered images have a watermark on the bottom, even though I have a license (and I doublechecked that it is connected)
   [as a side note, any idea when you will connect the sketchup pbr materials to the rayscaper material properties, so that I don't need to set up metalness, roughness, etc, twice?]

I also have this problem, for know what I do is I disable Lord of the toolbars with the sketchucation plugin manager tool, then I restart sketchup and set up the toolbars, then I enable it and restart sketchup, and it then stays.
@fredo6 do you have any ideas what is causing this?

@pixelcruncher Thanks, it works

@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

@samuel_t Any model I try doesn't work, but here is onejuggler.obj

@L-i-am I would recommend quixel mixer (https://quixel.com/products/mixer/win/2022.1.1), especially now that you can claim all megascans for free for now (https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/access-legacy-megascans-on-bridge-and-quixel-com/2142664).

@sashapepperspray
I have installed an older version of the plugin (1.1.9) and I now can do poligon reduction, but I can't import, I get the following error message
do you have any ideas?

@pixelcruncher I just noticed an improvement I was hoping for: When you open rayscaper and you have the loading screen, it used to be on top of all the windows, so I had to pause whatever I was doing and wait for it to load, but now it functions as a regular window, that I can open another window on top of it. This works a lot better, so I am just saying thanks for this.

@samuel_t nothing happens, a screen pops up for half a second, but disappears, and that is it.

@samuel_t I have the laset visual c++ installed. Do you know how I could fix this security problem?
