Sorry for the late reply, Australian time zones are so far apart from most of the world.
I haven’t actually gotten to use Raylectron yet myself, what was it that made you decide to upgrade your tools? I’m just wondering as I plan to learn most of the rendering packages available and would love to know some of the strengths and weaknesses before jumping in.
As to your question into in regards to Bloom Unit, there have been quite a few significant changes to the software over the last year, mainly with the release of the Bloom Unit 2 update.
The User Interface has changed a little bit due to the addition of new features and the reduction of some small features that were taken out of the software, but the overall design of the UI has remained in mostly the same layout.
As for the process of using Bloom Unit, nearly every aspect of the software has massively increased in speed due to additons of functions like the AI Denoiser and others.
I myself, was able to pretty much just pick up the software, and after having my SketchUp scene completed, I simply just went about applying materials and adding lights, just going for what I thought looked nice. The rendering system took care of everything else.
There are definitely more in depth parts of Bloom Unit that I wasn’t using when I made this scene, but I am still happy with the results I was able to achieve.
If you want to know about more of the specific changes that might affect you more specifically, i’m happy to help, I just tried to keep this as more of an overview.
Here are 2 short videos about the additions within Bloom Unit 2, If you want to give them a look they will definitely show you some of the new stuff that’s in Bloom Unit.
