where do you locate the alpha channel to turn on and off with vray 3 on sketchup? I try to save as a tif or png with my sky but get a transparent background - jpeg I have no problems but you don't save in jpeg if you can help it. Im pulling my hair out on this one looking for this needle

@filibis said: Hi, I don't think it is possible yet. They introduced fog for aerial perspectives but it's not the same and limited to sunlight. There is also this material called Subsurface Scattering that has some volumetric options etc. but i doubt it can be used for your purpose. Thereby, you can try to add it in post production Thanks for information. You are right... Post production is the way to go for now.

@unknownuser said: No idea what to do, have tried clearing all of the files related to V-Ray, but doesn't seem to have solved anything. What do you mean you cleared files? What if the files you cleared are the files the uninstaller needs. I'd reinstall the old version and then try uninstalling.

@jql said: @collage architecture said: @jql said: Guys, does anyone know if Vray for Sketchup 3 supports Substance's .sbsar? and what about the vray bevel procedural? Bevel edges is very easy, use edge texture in bump slot or apply a bump material to object with edge texture.You could tweak the radius via assest editor. PBR mat seems not supported in V-Ray right now. They will have glossy fresnel in the future update.So I don't think anything will be done, people have to convert SBS manually to Vray Mtl,just such a pain. Best Thanks for the info. But I was under the impression vray for max had substance support. Am I wrong? Some people wrote Max plugins to convert PBR material to Vray mtl. But I don't think Vray can achieve exactly same result as Substance painter. 从我的 iPhone 发送，使用 Tapatalk

OK Thanks.

I don't know about vray, but Thea measures that at surfaces areas and renders a graph. You can create an animation of this graph. Lightup does the same, but I think it's for artificial light only... maybe not. [image: MPvE_none.jpg] [image: U3wg_photometric.jpg] It's in lumens and in this case the range is defined between 0 - 15000

@frv said: I could not find the manual for version 3.0 for OSX. I don't think there is any official manual for OSX at all. (I might be wrong though) Settings and their places more or less should be similar.

Projections plugin: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20140 "Extrude line" tool is the one I have as a shortcut. @yourpasswordis said: @andybot said: @valerostudio said: We need a script to make lap and shingle siding! my shortcut is to use extrude edges by vector. Can you share a screenshot of your method? I've been aspiring for months to create building renderings using SketchUp + Vray. I somehow keep returning to this exact thread as I'm sure others have as well. Hope you can share.

Was the camera looking down? Next time try to have your camera look straight forward/horizontal. Maybe that helps? Best,

If you start Render with OPENCL and then swap, it works. But in my gadgets the GTX 1070 appears with USED 0000MB. At least it worked. I thought my license was in trouble.

Hi peerman, Yes, Ted's reply solved the issue. I made the Render Time = 0 and that solved the problem! I wished when i make it 'High Quality' preset, it automatically brings down the render time setting to 0 ... In the meantime i by-passed the problem by using bucket rendering.

It seems that you are using progressive rendering mode for image sampling which needs a lot of time to reduce the nosie to certain threshold. Do you check twice that you are using bucket rendering mode? Best shiyan

That would be a very warmly welcomed feature

I'm use http://www.vismats.com and not have problems

Thank you !!

Thanks for the quick awnser. Well they are mapped on the right side of the plane... As they are component, i tried to map the material on each face,but it doesn't change.. UPDATE: It actually work perfectly when i restart sketchup completely, but only with the first imported files. if a import a second model, only the first one render well textured, the other is plain white.. even if it's the same model.

I was having this same error on Mac and was able to solve it by downloading the License Server 4.3.1 ADV. Apparently this was just posted yesterday (Feb 9th). https://download.chaosgroup.com/

Based off of the result image, it looks like a spotlight would work better than an omni light. Just have one spotlight pointing up and the other down. You can then control the light cone better to achieve the look you want. Alternately if you know the manufacturer of the light fixture you could go online and see if they have a supplied IES file to get the nice scallop affect of the reference photo.
