Hey folks, I’m looking for some brave people to help me test Raycaper for Mac. I have a Mac version working, but I’m not a full-time Mac user, so I’m looking for some people to do some sanity testing to make sure I’m not releasing something buggy in the world. Cheers, Thomas

Hey folks, Just wanted to provide an update here. I haven’t forgotten about Mac support yet, but in the last weeks, I prioritized some other features that culminated in Rayscaper 0.9.13 for Windows. I will get back to making Rayscaper Mac ready soon—apologies for the delays. Cheers, Thomas

Hi, any updates on the development of the Apple Silicon version of Rayscaper? :slight_smile:

Hey @chrstphf , there is no update yet. My main focus was improvements and bug fixes that will ship with the next release. But once that release is out, I can focus on the Mac again. Thanks for your patience! Cheers, Thomas

I think that the Mac version is still not yet ready to be tested.

Like Colin already mentioned, the Mac version is not available yet. Will report back here once it is.

Thanks. Figured since it was still available for download, it was possible it had been updated, so thought I’d give it a try. In the spirit of supporting development, I reported my results.

Hello Thomas, Yes I’m also in the Twilight Render situation. So sad to see it’s 14 year run come to an end. So I found your new Rayscaper App. I’m on an full on M3 MacBook Pro. Twilight crawls along. Would be honoured to be a Beta Tester. Here is my latest project - renderings link. Hightail …

There is still progress on the Windows version, as seen in this post from three days ago:

I’m sure there are a lot of us at SketchUp who are looking forward to a Mac version!
