You can now also using proxies in 1.6 and never have to deal with fake trees ever again!

Check your faces - I bet you grass is displacing backwards.

hi, sorry the non reply was on a deadline, in the end I used a different monitor that had the correct ratio i wanted, not the correct answer but it worked

In response to that old thread: No, we do not handle the way SketchUp on Mac handles multiple SU instances being open at the same time... it will cause scene corruption, crashes, and other horrible things to happen... You get 1 SketchUp instance only, Thomthom's utility probably won't do any good in this instance at all. Just don't do it. One SU window only on OSX if V-Ray is loaded. In response to this thread: I have no idea what that white dialog is, and I am unable to reproduce it so far on my own machine.

I was able to look at Make's scene, I was unable to reproduce the crash running OSX Lion, SketchUp 2013, and our latest nightly build. gspalding - sorry you're having trouble on the CG forums, but you don't have to worry about jumping through those hoops to report a bug. Just send us an email: vfswip@chaosgroup.com will submit to our bug tracker, which we use exclusively for tracking down and fixing bugs in V-Ray for SketchUp. Forums and email aren't used to track/fix bugs at all, so if you only wanted to report a bug, there's no reason to even post about it on any forums at all, because Joe (the other developer) and I don't use those forms of communication for that purpose. If you have steps to reproduce the issue, or an example scene file that can be used to reproduce the issue on our machines, please send in a bug report so we can fix this. If the scene is too large, just start deleting things until it's about 10mb in size, and then send it along. The less complex a scene is, that still demonstrates the issue, the better.

hi Raymond, @rvdkruk75 said: I can't find a shadow catching material for v-ray for SU. Do you have a link or something? in fact i searched about this problem and found video demonstrate this link for Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMpME8wlA-c Important note : this method works only when i use Hdri in environment slots as he did, but it didn't work with me when i used dome light with Hdri, and i don't know the solution to use it with dome light. maybe someone can find a solution for that.

@andybot said: How's "yes"? A lot like this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m30eiuIS5a1r95uueo1_500.gif. Click it. You know you want to.

there are no errors in that error log, perhaps if you can post a scene, or explicit steps on how to reproduce the error, someone can better assist you.

I think so - Look under Plugins- Vray - Pack Scene FYI - Currently, I do not think it copies vrmesh files. CORRECTION - this has been fixed, meshes pack now too.

@valerostudio said: If you are using 1.6 beta - use the dome light to use an HDRI to light your scene. If you just want the HDRI as your background, go to options and under Environment. place the HDRI in the BG slot. In your Output under options, make sure to click Get view aspect so Vray will match SU. that i know.. but the Background is not placed according to the model.. its like my model will be on some wall, on some window or on some top, or hanging in air.

crashes in the observers ::begins to weep and walks off to a corner of the room to collect himself:: My suspicion is that the crash is related to setting the scene attribute dictionary

@valerostudio said: If you want to render an elevation, I just go to that elevation, turn on perspective, change you field of view to 1 and render with the physical camera. FOV of 1 looks like an elevation. But after changing FOV to 1, render is extremly bright - nearly white. What set, change then?

Window->Preferences->Extensions->V-Ray for SketchUp, the version number should be listed along with other plugin info below the list of extensions.

@dkendig said: Have either of you tried our 1.6 beta, or tried SketchUp 2013 (Make or Pro) that was released today? I can't recall if it was one of our bugs, or a SketchUp bug with their observer system, but I believe this may be resolved now. If you still have the issue with our beta, you can supply us with an example scene and a bug report (send an email to vfswip@chaosgroup.com), we could test it ourselves, or you could install those updates and try it yourself. Just as a heads up, we are rather busy at the moment with our beta, so I wouldn't expect a speedy result from us testing. However it is tested, if the end result is that a bug exists in our product, please let us know so we can have this resolved in our next public release! Dave, I sent you at vfswip@chaosgroup.com a 19 megabyte Sketchup file and the email address rejected it: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: vfswip@chaosgroup.com Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain chaosgroup.com by mail.chaosgroup.com.

I really appreciate, awesome work. You are a master valerostudio@ thank you.

I am one of that... I will apply.

I'd love to support per object animation, but I don't know how we are supposed to get the updated transform info, or work with this data at all. Anyone know how it works?

there are certain controls that are disabled until you have another setting enabled or set to a given value.

I've attached an Excel file that I use to get a drawing to a scale. Just plug in a few numbers and it will tell you what percentage to scale the image by in order to get the correct scale. You will need a reference dimension to measure, so it is a good idea as suggested above to place a scale bar in the image somewhere. Scale Fixer.xls
