Thanks

It's amazing that she has once again brought out SG. Even with her AI images, it's been a while since she created SG-related stuff. And then also a picture combined with her own renderd models. I think she's getting a bit of a taste for it again. On the one hand. But she's also more stressed ...

@Okwa

Thank you Chris for posting this, I'm glad she's ok and still enjoying the art, AI or not, it's great

@Okwa

wow, so very cool and well designed. Not only you do SG but SW too?

I love the look of it, and the refueling station is awesome

I don't know much about SW, is the story all yours?

Okwa

Thank you :)

For the stairs, I only set Specular=20

For the floor, I get the texture and its normal map from Filter Forge...

https://filterforge.com/filters/4621.html

and I set Diffuse=0.1 Shine=5 and Bump=10 but I should really set Diffuse=0 so that the bump takes place, I forgot to do ...

@Support If you consider that, apart from the Tel'tak, the smallest freighter is 90x60x90 m and the largest one, which is currently flying into the spaceport, has a diameter of 1100 m, or 1.1 km, that makes 5x5 km seem pretty small. Isn't it? :lol:

It's the combination of setting the texture ...

Many thanks. The land field is 5x5 km, otherwise the freighters would have fit on it. Even with the small freighters it would have looked weird. The smallest one is 90x66x30 meters :D
I created the force field using one of Sketchup's standard textures for glass, as I did for the March image.This ...

@Okwa

This is massive, and the force field, how did you do that one? When I first saw it, that's exactly what came to mind. Seeing the architecture from up close like this is nice, it does look Jaffa

So the entry point is the roof or is there another entry point with normal bay doors?

Designed in SketchUp 2024 and rendered using Raylectron v5.3 build 120

@Okwa

wow, what a story

10 light years in 170 seconds Can you imagine going to the orange dwarf Epsilon Eridani from earth in just under 3 minutes?

The render is really nice Is the Tel'kahet that big compared to the asteroid? or is it a perspective trick?

Yes I know, just to tease her, maybe she'll drop by and say hi

@Alienizer

wow, I really like the first one, very soft and "space" like I followed your idea, and it works really well...

@Okwa I think @GateGirl86 would love this render of her model (which I still have)...

Fixed "Mode 2" in Illumination to work as it did in v4.

Tweaking of the rendering engine.

@Okwa

Interesting. And at the same time, it's mobile, and can move out of danger, preserving the habitat.

I like that, modernized Jaffa Nation ships visiting a versatile space habitat and well done on the Ran'sef-Class space habitat

What do you mean it's not generating grass? The number of faces that shows in the status bar stays the same even after you apply the grass?

That's most of the problems, is making changes while it's rendering. The best way to avoid this is to stop the render and turn of Draft mode so it's a quick render when making changes. We should prevent setting changes while it's rendering, but we did not because it's not always a problem. When ...

Is the render going while you try to generate grass?

Also, if all you want is grass, nothing special about it, then I would use the Assets instead. Basically, go to the Assets setting and click Add, then select Tall Grass. Once it loads, it'll show you a yellow box, don't bother with that and simply right click on the area where you want grass on ...

It could be because there are too many blades, and you ran out of memory, or something else. Can you send a screen shot of your grass settings before you click Apply so I can visualize this?

Okwa wrote: Sat Nov 09, 2024 2:41 am @Support Oh, I forgot to let you know yesterday. Everything is going great for me too.

Great, thank you for letting me know. But now, a new bug reported by someone, when saving while it's rendering saves with grains so I have to fix this before the final release.

Hello again! I always seem to have the random export questions haha Attached 2 images. 1st is while the image is rendering. Looks great, no grain, awesome. The second is what it looks when export the image. Happens with both transparent background and non-transparent. I'm sure its user error but ...

@Support

I've downloaded the latest and tested both the CPU and GPU stars/nebula. They work perfect. Within 30 seconds, I was able to get the look I was looking for. Thank you for such great render :salute


You are welcome Mike and thanks for testing it :salute

It looks like you're zooming ...

@Support
No problem, Michael.

I will continue to monitor the "problem" with the resolution after the language change. So far I have started Raylectron every time via the shortcut and have not tested whether the error also occurs when I open Raylectron via SketchUp, when I have loaded a model to ...

I have never used the German version. Ok, let's get straight to the biggest problem, which I hope I can explain clearly: When I change the language from English to German (or any other language), the resolution is automatically set to 940x540. If I then want to change to 1920x1080 via ‘More ...
