Maintenance update.

One more question please. What settings should I use to make the glass better? Select the material for your glass and convert it to "Glass (solid)", providing all the faces have the same material, from and back, inside and out. It's easy to get fooled when the front face is transparent bu...

Thank you support however not many people on the planet use inches any more FYI. I had great problems with inches when I would do grass etc :) Could you have metric and imperial versions? People im metric Countries (Vast Majotity) are wondering how many inches in a cubit? :) :) Internally, it uses ...

Hi, you are not doing anything wrong, the power isn't in watts or lux or candle power etc, let me explain how it works... In v3 and earlier versions, the power was set to 35 and that's all that was used to calculate the intensity on surfaces. That worked fine for real life size models but if you sca...

Added a Vignette in the Special Effects menu.

Fixed environment lighting, was too dark.

Fixed light strips illumination, wasn't illuminating properly.

Fixed error when loading a different configuration file.

Fixed network error when checking for updates or activating.

No, that part didn't change! I just tried it and it worked for me. Does it do it for all models including an empty model with just the Sketchup default with the person?

Hello, The light intensity is multiplied by its area and the area adjustment add/sub from the original surface area of the emitter. If you have a small light and set the area adjustment to 0, it may illuminate similar to a flashlight, but if you make its area much larger, it will illuminate more lik...

Let me PM it to you now...

Hi, I suggest you download the one with the CPU logo, it has both, CPU and GPU. For interior renderings, I suggest to use the CPU because it is grain free, unlike the GPU, and, the more lights you have, the slower the GPU will be compared to the CPU. In aby case, when you install it, you will have b...

We fixed it, here is the download link...

1. More rendering improvements. 2. Multi-lingual - Supports all same 13 languages as Sketchup. 3. Language editor. Edit your language to the way you like it. To select a language, simply click on the last menu item on the menu bar and click on Select to use it or on Edit... to edit it. When the edit...

Maintenance update. Fixes and optimizations.

Important update.

1. Fixed: Interior rendering using the sun, sky or environment map without portals did not render properly.

All about portals, they are important...

This is a maintenance update.

1. Fixed: Ground texture negative bump level didn't work.

2. Fixed: Sky was too dark at sunset/sunrise.

3. Clouds are now chunky, looks more natural but you can still use the settings to make them feathered and soft.

1. Bug fixes.

2. Birds are no longer pure black!

3. Fix ground texture to avoid moiré pattern at far away distance.

4. Sky gamma now works more on the blue sky than the overall and it default to 1.2 as oppose to 1.

5. Some other minor adjustments were made.

This new v5 release applies only to the CPU version. The GPU version remains at v4.99 v5 looks and work identically to v4 so there is nothing new to learn as far as the interface goes. However, for those who are new to Raylectron, here is a brief explanation on how it works... After installing Rayle...

ah, but if you use Portals, it would look even better. No need to replace your windows/doors or anything that's transparent, you simply cover the outside opening with a rectangle, front face facing towards the inside, group it and paint it with any material named Portal. Check out the video link bel...

wow, this looks really good, I love it. Did you use portals for the openings like windows?

It came out as a photo, can't tell the difference!

It's no mistake, it's just technical stuff that not everyone know, perfectly normal.

WOW, this looks absolutely amazing and real.

I got this one from OpenFootage.net when they were free. If you want free ones, you'll need to search the internet for and they're not easy to get good ones unless you pay!

If the file size is like 40MB then it should be a good one. Here is one, try it out see what you get?

What are the actual dimensions of your HDR image? Usually, this look you get is because the hdr is very low quality, you need something like 4000 pixel wide to get a nice output.

Couldn't help it. We've made infinite ground texture, clouds, stars, a moon and a new sky, but a sky without birds? nah, so we've added a bird generator too in v5 😁 Now v5 should be ready in a few days, unless we decide to add mountains too 😂 If you want to test drive v5 before it's out, inbox me. I...

wow, this looks very nice! We have since fixed bugs so the next revision should give you even better results.

oh wow, this is really nice! Good work Bryan
