      Hi Wheay,

      What do you mean by an infinite background?

      In the Styles dialog > In model > Edit > Bakground settings you can define a ground colour, a sky colour, a background colour (if the two latter ones were selected, this will have no effect) and you can control the visibility of the ground plane from below and the transparency of it.

      However you cannot set a "real" plane (i.e. texturable geometry) to be infinite.

      I don't know about Vray but in Kerkythea (another renderer), you can place an infinite plane and even apply texture to it.

      Gai...

        You can does this in IRender nXt now as well, as well as backgrounds which can be set to be reflected.

          Another one that I didn't know of...

          Unfortunately SU doesn't support this although the watermarks could be (maybe) modified this way...

            Hi Gaieus it was only just been added very recently, and with the relative few posts and announcements here on IRender, even some users might not know.

            Anyway.... this doesn't help with the vray/sketchup question.

                There's an "infinite plane" button in the Vray toolbar. Click it, drag out a plane, done. Just hover over the buttons to see which one it is. Cool feature.

                  yup! ive seen it and works fine with me. but how about the sky. it only creates an infinite plane but not the background. what i do is that i run the plane in the blue axis. but still i creates a box style line down the intersection. i dont know what to do.

                  i have used it a lot of time but its now that i get to see the effect. thanks.

                    this is what i found over the net to set as an example.

                    and i think this answers my question:

                    http://www.kerkythea.net/phpBB2/files/thumbs/t_3pointlights_productstage_142.jpg

                    got this form: http://www.kerkythea.net (is it okey to post other website?)

                      That makes a bit more sense now.

                      I think what you are refering to is a studio setup, very similar in effect to a photography studio.

                      And theres no problems with postign links to other websites (unless its to pirated material.)
