Thanks will give that a go. It would help if you provide the setting value's to achieve the nice patchy grass. i.e. the settings in the materials tab for grass.

Re: Displacement ?

I saw the youtube video for the grass tutorial. (Although it was an older version.) Do I need to assign a grass texture in sketchup first. Then export it to raylectron ? As I cannot get the patch effect anywhere on the grass. I fiddled with the random range, taller were darker and taller were lighte...

Re: Displacement ?

Yes I used raylectron for grass. Absolutely loved using it. A few clicks and its done so simply with no x number of plugins to achieve it.

BTW. I will stick with raylectron and will accept the offer of testing the beta.

Re: Displacement ?

Do you know when v5 would be released or at least the displacement feature? Imo, displacements are vital part of making images look natural. No matter how photorealistic the lighting and texture is. If the GEOMETRY is not realistic it ruins everything. My attached image looks great but the wall/copi...

Displacement ?

Hi, I should start by saying I dug REALLY deep to find raylectron! Raylection seems to work great so far, and exactly what I need. However, on my locomotive train of happiness while using Raylectron I came across this : there is no displacement feature. For example I need the edge of the wall on the...

Re: The power of instancing in Raylectron v4

Fantastic for landscaping workflow. Looks amazing.

Can I ask how you got the rock instances scattered across the entire bank ?

Looks as though the instances were brushed on there. Awesome !

Re: The Architect office

This is really nice, one of the best render examples i've seen.

Can I ask how you achieved the smoke (I assume this was done in sketchup) ?
