Caustics are also real, not fake or simulated. Shadows are not fake or simulated like “Soft shadows”. “Raylectron does not need any editing by other graphic software (such as Photoshop) to produce photorealistic renders”Īny materials can produce different effects, such as reflection (like mirror), refraction (like glass), transparency, glossiness, shininess, bump maps, normal maps and background images. While the render is going, you can view the progress, and, you only need to stop it whenever the quality is to your satisfaction. No need to remove walls to see the interior render, simply use the X-Ray vision. Ability to stop the render, save it, reopen it later and resume the render. Here, you can set how to illuminate your model, lights, sun, sky, ambient, environment map etc. It’s that simple! A wiremesh preview before rendering.

Simply select a material and apply some effects to it, or make it a light. Both of the graphics cards on this computer are running new drivers too.Raylectron has the ability to easily render 3D models made in Google SketchUp into a photo-realistic image. I'm pretty sure all of this is Windows 10's fault and because Microsoft insists on being a royal pain in the backside, they won't make a change to how it works. I also tried running both versions in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7 and 8 with no success. I ran a program compatibility check and got a warning that the GPU version would not work with Windows 10. I've chalked the GPU error message up to Windows 10. Today I removed Raylectron and installed the updated Raylectron 4.76 CPU 64-bit version. I tried waiting a while (in the hope that windows updates might fix something) and reinstalling Raylectron v4.6 GPU 64-bit edition again.

Reinstalling Raylectron didn’t seem to work. I know the GPU version of Raylectron works because I used it less than a week ago. I guessed there might have been some confusion so just to make sure I reset the default graphics card choice to the original setting, the Intel graphics card but it didn’t seem to improve it. I have a discrete Nvidia card on this laptop and have set the computer to use the Nvidia discrete one by default because it offers better performance, but I noticed that when I opened the “GPU” tab in at the top in Raylectron, it had selected the integrated Intel graphics processor. I did do a Google search on this and found something that said something vaguely along the lines that the clCreateContext had something to do with Nvidia graphics cards. It’s the same story when trying to start the render through SketchUp.

This is the message I get when starting it up on it’s own: "Error-1000: clCreateContext".Īnd Raylectron does launch but doesn’t seem to load or render any files after starting up.

I seem to be having a problem that is cropping up every time I try to start Raylectron independently or through SketchUp.
