Hi Have a look to see if youve used any gif images in your textures. Sometimes this can be a hassle and cause issues. The amount of times Ive had this particular bug is enough for me to look elsewhere for a rendering program! Absolutely shocking considering the price Ive paid for the product. Look into the menue for vray within SU, it has an option there to force sydc all materials or something along those lines. Just try those also (avoid the first option whatever that is as itll force you to re apply all your textures). Hope this helps and good luck!

Can you post a picture of the light fitting showing: 1.What type of light (Rectangle, Omni, IES) 2.Where the light source is positioned in relation to the fitting. Then I might be able to help ya.

@cmd said: To all you V-Ray users, It looks like a patch has been released to allow V-Ray to work with SketchUp 8/Pro 8 http://goo.gl/fghky Cheers, CMD It worked on SU8 under Windows, but not under OSX.

and if the reflection is still a bit hazy and blury and mirror material is too dark?

ok, thanks. if you know how to interpret the "intensity" thing please let me know..

òk it seems that was the problem. Or, at least. I removed all the lights and put all new ones in and everything seemed fine. Thanx for the tip. But now, when i'm rendering, it gives black beams where my lights are, whether i'm reversing the faces or not... and the sun through my windows doesn't leave the bright area's on the floor I would like. it doesn't leave any marks on the floor at all actually. Ah well, i guess it was stupid to try this out while having a deadline.

Thank you very much.You were right with the JPG advice ))

Report bugs and issue to ASGVis. It's not very likely they'll find it here. Also, please include the version number of VfSU - that helps in diagnosing the issue, as then one can determine if it's fixed in a newer version or a beta.

@andranaita said: I have the new vray, and i am using sketchup 7 pro, on a Mac OS and i have a problem. Vray doesn't render big models, with materials created with vray material editor. Small models, example objects taken from Warehouse, it doesn't have any complain. But a previously created big model, with lots of groups and materials, it starts to process, and after a few minutes it stops. It doesn't even open the framebuffer. It just stays still, and then nothing happens. I've tried debugging methods form vray, and still nothing. thank you There are many issues that is fixed in the current beta. Contact ASGVis support and report your problems so they can investigate.

Still sounds good. Can you post a model please? What file format do you use?

@unknownuser said: Maybe that's why he posted it in the Vray forum :roll: Hmmm.....!

Always the latest - currently .98. But we should not be discussing the beta here - all beta talk should be kept to the ASGVis forum. (During the holidays there will be less activity than normal.)

You want it available in SketchUp's material library? After you have imported it, export the SketchUp material as an .skm. In VfSU 1.48.xx the V-Ray properties are saved with the SketchUp materials.

@thomthom said: @turnbull2000 said: ASGVis have been in touch and asked for my purchase details, from which they'll decide any entitlement. Fingers crossed. I've got some tight deadlines coming up, so having Vray on a second machine will help immensly You want to render on two computer at the same time to reduce render time? That's what you got the Render slaves for. Install the render slaves on your available computers and use them when you render. Note it requires the machines to be on the same network. But it means you don't need extra licenses. No, it's so I can work on a laptop back home and then continue on a desktop in the office. Though network render should prove very useful with dozens of computers available!

File the bug to support@asgvis.com so they can address it.

I have not tried to uncheck the tile option. You probably want to check with ASGVis if this options works in VfSU.

Yes - 1.48.xx updates are free. You can even update from the very first VfSU release. It'll detect your old license. 1.48.66 to 1.48.89 is just a service release.

I did not change the value unless the multiplier. And I blur the displacement map. I work in cm. My values : [image: h5cT_Displaceparametres.jpg]

It's due to a bug in the latest VfSU build. The beta builds has fixed many things since .89. But do submit the model to ASGVis so they can test the model against their internal build so they can ensure they have corrected the error that caused it. When SU/VfSU runs out of memory it crashes.
