You can also consider Simlab Composer! An easy one! And it works for quasi any formats files!

i am very thanks to you i am trying explode the groupe and appling material after that the objects appeare in render thaks to your interesting

Judging from the last image you posted and the capture of your settings, I'd recommend changing your "Optics" settings. An fstop of 39.6 is fairly uncommon (most lens that aren't specialty top out around f22), and adjust your shutter speed to something more realistic. Shutter speed in your settings is set to 1/.02, which isn't something you'd ever see in the real world (again, Maxwell relies on realistic settings for its light calcs). Maybe start with 1/30 and go from there? It doesn't look like the file is getting errors, and your sky isn't quite "black" as you say. The image is just severely underexposed. Hope that helps! Also as a quick note, for interiors, Maxwell will render significantly cleaner and faster is the interior isn't completely sealed from the outside environment. Transparent materials don't contribute, so try to have one portion of the model open to the outside, perhaps, behind the camera or somewhere out of sight.

Quick test, 5 min render. One pass, HDRI+emitter inside. Added a bit of contrast and glow in PS. (The interior is unrealistically bright compared to the environment lighting - but just to show the effect.) [image: testwqsi6.jpg] btw. your image is missing the background in the rear windows

Thank you!

I have to agree Twan... Although the way it renders the stone, the depth of the texture is really great.

I'll try that! Thanks!

@eugatr said: Hello Guys!! I've been messing around with the vray animation thingy, and while I do get all the images rendered according to the scenes, when stitched together the camera... um... shakes... the scene animation on sketchup (pre render) seems pretty smooth but somehow after rendering it looks like if the video was recorded by someone with parkinsons disease anybody knows how to solve this? thanks a bunch! How are you generating your animation path in Sketchup? Some animation plugins will generate hundreds of SU scenes - the problem with rendering that, is if the frame rate is not 1 to 1, then the rendering program will extrapolate the transition between the frames based on the SU movement, so you'll get a very jerky video. Try generating your animation scenes at the full frame rate, and then when you render with vray, set your fps rate to custom rate of "1" Hope that helps. Andy

That's correct, you don't see the channels that are selected in your frame buffer. You have to select the "save all channels" button (the one right next to the save image button) and then it will save all the files out. To have a channel rendered, you have to click on it in the VFB Channels options so that it is highlighted before you start the rendering. (You only show RGB and Alpha highlighted in your screengrab.)

For those faithful to Shaderlight… or, if anyone is already using Shaderlight and wanting to avoid paying 1/4th the price of the full version just to use it with SU 2014, the solution is making the models in SU 2014, then "downgrading" them (Save-as) to SU 2013 or SU 8 files and finally rendering in the identical SL 2013 (already paid for) plugin.

Seems they are changinf the cupon product each day! (Today is for Shark etc...

Why don't we get a notification about the available update by e-mail...? @adamb said: See you at BaseCamp 2014! Wish I would be there... Aahhh well... Perhaps next year...

New version (v2.05) should available in the next few days: higher shadowmap resolution for higher display resolutions toggle camera animation during Scene transitions (animate shadows without animating cameras) fix for handling Scenes marked not in animation handling parallel projection interactions (orbit, zoom, measure)

Hello tomasz, I FINALLY figured it out! With the release of Lion, the User library is hidden by default. Type (or copy/paste) the following into terminal and your user library will no longer be hidden: chflags nohidden ~/Library/ Now unhidden, I found 'Thea4SU_files' & Thea4SU_loader.rb, I removed them, opened a previous version of SU 2013… IT WORKED. I updated to the last update and it's stable. Thank you. However, this problem was unique with the default settings of OS 10.7.5 on a Mac Pro. It's rare because it is the last OS version support on the MacPro, but not designed for this system. Actually, because SU 2013 does not support previous OS versions… and that the MacPro can't support any version of OS above 10.7.5… I got stuck in a crack that most would not be in. I am so pleased. Again, thank you.

Ill batch rework the images and reupload tomorrow

You can use one section cut for every context, so you can use groups or components to reduce the section cut to a part of the model.

Will not take that much time, once you have the right studio set up it's just a matter of inserting each door and rendering. I believe one could do that with Thea4SU quick and possibly even better. Got a model to share?
