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?

@samuel_t I am the administrator, and I have windows 11

@samuel_t It happens anytime I try any model, and also when I try importing models, I get this error

This is the complete error:

Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd /d "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Local/Temp/Universal Importer" && "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Win/assimp.exe" export "export.dae" "export.obj" -tri

C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/assimp.rb:106:in `convert_model'

Universal Importer Version: 1.2.6

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling microsoft visual runtime, and I still have the problem.

@samuel_t do you have any ideas about this? thank you

I have just updated the plugin and tried using it, and I get the following error:
Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd /d "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Local/Temp/Universal Importer" && "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Win/assimp.exe" export "export.dae" "export.obj" -tri
I tried going to a previous version of sketchup, where I have an older version of the plugin, and I have the same error
Do you know what this error is, and how I could fix it?

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

@pixelcruncher thanks!

@pixelcruncher There is no option anymore to change the texture type (color or image or perlin noise). Was this purposely removed, or is this a bug. I found the perlin noise one especially to be useful (for roughness).

@pixelcruncher thank you very much

Is clothworks going to be updated to work with sketchup 2024?
