Hi Box, Thanx for ur reply. I think it will help me. I will try it. Hi box I tried it and it helped me alot. It is easy to. thanx for ur suggestions.

You should be on 2.0 by now. 1.6 is a beta version and is not longer relevant.

The way the w-xp memory manager works for 32 bit machine the 4GB RAM is equally allocated between SU and the kernel so only 2GB is allocated for SU. If your machine is large block address aware then you can enable the 4GB switch ( via the boot init and the allocation will be changed to 3 GB SU and 1GB kernel but then some slow down occurs. For a 64 bit machine SU can use the total 4 GB if you have additional RAM.

1.6 is the beta version with many bugs. You need to be on the latest 2.0 to take full advantage of the bug hunt that went on during beta.

well, i figured it out.. [image: QRRO_Capture4.JPG]

nice use of proxies Good cheer to all! Andy

@monkers said: Whats bug(splat)ing me is, sometimes when I import the component into my sketchup model they will load in no problems I can have a few different ones in with no problem. But sometimes it crashes and gives me a bugsplat error. I'm struggling to single out what causes this other than it only happens the instant that I add the component to the model. Is there anything that stands out to you guys? I think there can be errors if you try to bring in the same linked proxy as one that is already in the scene. I'll have to check again, as I haven't seen this in a while. Maybe check that you have the latest version of Vray for Sketchup.

@dcauldwell said: Ooops! my misreading of the question. Vray only shows the time it has taken to render, and not how long it is going to take. Despite this missunderstanding, im looking for this info actually... thank you Sir

Thank you! It worked!

This are the Settings I used at last, as suggested by valerostudio: () Set the "Max. subdivs" to 100 (one hundred). Leave the "Min. subdivs" to 1. (Done) () Set the primary GI engine to Brute force GI. Do not change the subdivs. (I left the Irradiance Map option, there was no "brute force" in the version of vray i'm using) () Set the light cache interpolation samples to 5. (I assumed this is called "Filter Samples in the version i'm using, if so, done) [] Noise threshold 0.001 The rest of the sugestions were already set by default. I think the render improved a lot, feel a lot better with the result, i'm posting the image for your critics if possible. Thank you! [image: CExI_COMEDORDA4.jpg] [image: VE4t_COMEDORDA5.jpg]

hi, I'm rendering some elevations with phys cam and field of view with 1degrees. I have hdri map in backgrund, but the scale of the images is very big??? Does anyone know what a can do to fix that?

@valerostudio said: Which V-Ray and which SketchUp version? Sketchup 8 Pro and Vray 1.49 adn 2.0 both

thanks! it worked.

try one of the carpaint materials from the ChaosGroup materials downloads.

It's not quite clear from your post - are you using the dome light? If so, you can edit your domelight to be hidden. Further down in the light editor window there is a setting under "options" for dome light to be invisible.

Hi Tom, Have you played with your Dynamic Memory Limit settings? I was having trouble with Displacement doing strange things as well, and after some testing I've found that having your dynamic Memory Limit set to somewhere between 1024 and 4096, I seem to be getting better faster renders.

the 1.6 beta is over, the 2.0 version has been released. Does resetting the light cache get rid of the watermark in the 2.0 demo? The 1.6 beta should be expired and always have a watermark at this point, is it still possible to get rid of the watermark by resetting your light cache now?

thank you for your reply. but it is possible to pull the noise shader in the length? in VRAYforC4D it is possible to change the relative size! see here: [image: PbHU_2013-12-02_151713.jpg]
