Fernando did a short video on this a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyidgvF5WlY

This is a demo limitation. Please see the all the demo limitations in the downloads section at http://www.chaosgroup.com.

Is there any news on 3.0 yet thanks

Please does anyone knows how to render it corectly? Similar problem (without enviroment background was in the post http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=322%26amp;t=43350 ) When doesn´t match enviroment background on the screen with render output, I can´t save image with wrong hdri lighting and whole work is useless... I have an idea - could be the problem in enviroment setting? [image: ZJTO_enviro.jpg]

Can you log this as a bug to me Matt?

@peerman said: You can try changing the UV parameters in the texbitmap material. Changing the tile could do the trick. I usually add another diffuse layer (use a white color in transparency) and add the same bump map to the diffuse slot. This way I can alter or rotate the bump map in the sketchup window using the standard texture tools. Because of the white color in transparency it won't render. Oh, make sure the new diffuse layer is above the diffuse layer you want to render (be it a color or image). Hope this helps! Regards, Thanks, I will try that

no, you need server CPU (Xeon) for dual cpu motherboard.

The only way to use GPU to render with VRay is RT and from my experience, RT is still pretty buggy in 2.0 I would invest in a better processor with more threads. i7 at a minimum.

thanks for help .....

So, nobody encountered this?? or nobody knows anything about it??

V-Ray for SketchUp installer is about 100mb. Anything more is not V-Ray.

For some reason VR is scaling up each exported component of eash window pane. Is there an easy batch fix for this? If I explode the group of window components it seems to render okay. but I would rather not have to do this each time/variation. As I'm also worried about the file becoming unnecessarily large.

1 - Version of SU and VR used 2 - OS 3 - Are you using displacement?

@valerostudio said: Hopefully, it's a full implementation of 3.x that's in Max, so maybe we will see stereoscopic camera and dare I say Fur? From what was told at Basecamp, there won't be fur nor fog, but stereo camera should make it.

Backside faces are not currently supported by GPU rendering in Sketchup, That may be the reason you were having some errors.

you can avoid this yellow light by going in Indirect illumination, and put Saturation to 0

@timothyfranks said: Hi All, I've had great success using the method caecarvalho suggested - however I have just run into the issue where the transparency setting in the Vray material editor only adjusts the brightness/contrast of the material i.e. 0.25 gives a washed out look, but no translucency. The Alpha layer still makes the correct areas 100% transparent. This seems to have happened for almost no reason i.e. models which have previously rendered perfectly now don't, and as far as I can tell there have been no significant changes to the models or to either the SketchUp or Vray programs. Any ideas? Hello Timothy, if I understand right,I see you're trying to adjust the transparency in a wrong way. The correct way would be to use the color parameter in the tranparency option and not the number. What I mean by that is, if you want a 75% transparent text, you need to use a 75% gray color. You can leave the value 1. You will use colors from white to black, being black no transparency and white full transparency.

Ted, that was nice! I opened your animation visop and clicked render. I tried to understand how to save all the rendered images as film but couldn´t figure it out. When I choose "save image" it does just that - saving the last image that is. Is there a way to export these rendered images as a video?
