How is that material setup? It looks like something is screwing with the UV Mapping.

Yes that does help! I thought it rendered it as a 3d object and couldn't work out how to save it!! Haha. Hopefully I'll have more success now! Thank you

?!? maybe step 1 model the 3d plan step 2 render the 3d plan does it help?

Yes guys, That solved my problem! thanks alot

Thanks! I'll give it a try and see the result!

I wouldn't be paying a render farm then. The point is to get it cooked in a hour or less. If I was going to wait 3 days, I would do it myself. I thought Rebus was working with Chaos on getting their farm to work? I'll check in with them.

The antialias filter value needs to be 1.2, 1.5 or 1.8 for smooth results. Also set up the settings in DMC Sampler, such as Noise Thresh to 0.01 or 0.005, Max subdivs to 15.

I use this plugin everyday. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446865#p446865

Have you tried putting it on its own layer, then shutting off that layer?

Environmental Fog for Vray for Sketch up any news on that guys? would be excellent to have that as it would create a very powerful addition!

Anything you download from the web like this is going to have issues. Look at the car paint materials on the Chaos site.

I would get a copy of UVTools

Problem solved! Seems like when Shadow Radius is >0 the physical size of the spotlight component affects shadows. By increasing the size of the component itself I was able to obtain the shadows that I were looking for.

Thanks

you can increase your glossy reflections subdivisions in your material. Default is 8, you might use something like 32 Also perhaps increase your light source subdivisions. Either way, make sure you are getting enough samples so the reflections get cleaner.

@caecarvalho said: Will be possible to create a library with OBJ or 3ds models to use with it? I have no plan for this right now. Although, it will have a library system supporting SKP models, and therefore proxies for rendering engines. @caecarvalho said: What about the forest color? Is it possible to implement something like that? (A map that you put inside the diffuse slot to create color variations in the texture per object) No forest color like in forest pack, but at some point I will add the ability to randomly assign materials to the scattered objects. Something like forest color would have to happen on the render engine's part, on which I have no control. @caecarvalho said: The representation of the forest objects will be with colored point clouds as well? Is it even possible in SU? I think it's possible, I will definitly try to do it in the future. But for the first public release, it will only be simple representation (bouding boxes and such) @caecarvalho said: If you need a beta tester!! I'll PM you.

Hello, on Chaos web site. New materials are not vismat but vrmat.

Great course on the subject : http://masteringcgi.com.au/course/mastering-vray/ (For Vray 3Dsmax, but everything applies to Vray Sketchup)
