Rendering in Veras, web app 1.8.0.1, most recent release. All objects have same textureless look. I've found that even in multiple runs, which might differ in some ways, and even if location of finishes more accurate, the "textureless" aspect will not change.

Second example is sofa in law firm, which I first rendered last year. This raw image was processed in an original Veras release .9.5.0. Notice the subtle, sophisticated texture on couch; very photorealistic. I used this release instead of other releases, right up until release 1.4.

Release 1.5.0, November 2023. With introduction of the new engine 5, accuracy improved and photorealism is still pretty good. Release 1.5.0 is the last release in which that is true.

Release 1.6.4.6, February 2024. In all releases after 1.5.0, texture and realism have suffered (even if accuracy continued to improve). It's awful. And this is typical result, for me. It's very frustrating.

Release 1.7.0, May 2024. Starting with release 1.7.0 problem intensified to point I sometimes couldn't find any texture whatsoever on objects in interiors, especially upholstery; just essentially blank surfaces.
