Did you contact Vray support? Surely your license covers installation support.

Are you using GPU acceleration and do you have an AMD graphics card? If so it's not going to work as stated in here: @unknownuser said: Interactive GPU OpenCL rendering mode is currently not supported. If you have NVIDIA, try updating your graphics card driver and see if it helps. (Or disable GPU acceleration) If you take this scene directly from Vray 2, it might be problematic sometimes. Check this article: Migrating from Previous Versions.

You should save your render settings as preset so that you can load it afterwards. (I think it's at the bottom of the V-ray window)

Are you using GPU acceleration? If so try disabling it, if not try using that. (Also make sure graphics card drivers up to date) Can you also share your render settings?

Are you using 'emissive material' for the ceiling lambs? If so, don't try to lit the whole room with it, try using other suitable light types to lit (in combination with emissive if you wish).

Overall i like it. Its a clean with realistic feeling. Below are my suggestion to further to further improve the composition for your consideration: -Ambient requirement to be produced by one light source seems need to improve, propose to add light sources such as task light and accent light. -Propose to change the material or design of tv rack it seems like a work station. -change pillow, use a lighter colored textile -Pendant seems floating add base plate. -Depth of wall cladding at the picture frames near the tv seems not enuf. -Enhance the Ambient occlusion a little bit to emphasize lines.

I am getting this same issue only when using Progressive rendering and GPU acceleration.

For the moment it's an invisible image! Maybe you can't post an image / Numbers of post in the forum ... So maybe use an free external host like Media Fire and put a link!

Allright, i think your problem resides on 'color mapping' section. (I thought you were using vray 3 which made color mapping approach 'simpler'). Test these and see if it helps: 1- Change color mapping type to 'linear multiply' 2- Disable 'linear workflow'. 3- Increase 'retrace threshold' (inside light cache) to get rid off problem you see at door. Also change 'number of passes' to 8 (by default i think). 4- Resetting everything to default settings might be another good option and adjust settings one by one and see how they behave. See this official manual for more information. Additionally check this tutorial on linear worklflow (general concept).

It's a completely rebuilt plugin. There are very few similarities from 2 to 3. I'm not sure if this is the best way to learn. Any reason for not just using 2 for now to learn and then upgrade to 3 when you are comfortable with the features.

Hello, IU have answered a similar question here, http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=67393 Hope it helps. Thanks

I have the progressive render to be noisy. and choose to bucket render over progressive, more like vray 2 for me now. Thanks

Did some test with another model, removed de default material from all the faces and it worked. I found that if the back face is also a default material (the blue face) with will also mess the proxy. I used the UV Toolkit from thomthom to aply de front material to the back face and got a much better result on this other model, only the rims changed material.

Aerial perspective or VRayEnvironmentFog. RTFM

Hi everyone, Sorry for my english. First the nomenclature VFB (Vray Frame Buffer) .vrimg - VFB saved image format The problem is easy to solve Follow these steps: **1-go to the address (PC \ Users \ "YourUser") and you will see the .vrimg files that have been saved in the VFB 2-look for the last file that has been saved, and put them in another folder or delete 3-open Sketchup and VFB and try again to open the history - Solved 4- If the problem continues only check the .vrimg files that are saved in PC \ Users \ "YourUser" to see which of them is that they have to remove** This has happened 2 or 3 times in very large and heavy files that I have saved while still rendering, the file is damaged for unknown reasons and the VFB no longer responds until the damaged file is deleted I hope this works for you

i just ended up here. Fernando's trick seems doest work fully with sketchup 2016. so as new user i have to crack up my brain. I simply used Text Mix in environment Load the hdri in text A and set the Text Sky in Text B.Disable the Text C (Mix). Then after series of trials. I unticked the Text B. Seems working. Shadows apperared with affecting the hdri's intensity. Hope thus helps.

XD Thanks for the feedback. Next time ill be more tactful of selecting the right components and attention to small details. I have able to sold this concept to one of my colleagues for a box of pizza. He intend to use it for his house. Nice anyway is there any tutorial regarding post production here? May i ask a link if any. Thanks.

Try the demo of both and see which you prefer. Which to choose depends on many things. Cost, workflow your knowledge level of rendering, time to learn, setup times, etc.

Just touching V-ray, what I've read that sketchup interface is set 1600x900(aspect ration of 2.01:1) whereas Vray default is 800x600(Aspect ratio 1.333:1). Use closer to 2.01:1 Something like 853x480,1280x720,1920x1080 Anyway I have not gone to that point yet, just starting Vray . Ref book: photographic rendering with v-ray for sketchup by Brian Bradley page 48

Definitely a good reminder to use the wipe clean tool on models imported from other sources. Glad you figured it out.
