    Hello all! 😄

    I am new in this forum but i am sure that i can find the help I need! hehe

    My problem is that, in my model, all the Vray lights are switched ON, everything is ON, GI is ON... But!!

    But! When I click to Render, in the picture everything is OFF, no lights, no environment... no.. sun??

    I don't understand! I can see my model, (dark, but no black, i can see my model with darkness), but i don¡t know what more to do...

    Could anyone help me??

    Thank you!!

      What version do you have? (what does it say in the about section)

      Does this problem occur only in one model - or all models you try?

        Hello thomthom!

        I have SU version 7.0.8657 and V-Ray version 01.05.30.

        I think it is for my SU version... It is very strange, if i open new file, with some models, lights are OK in renders. But in my model everything is off... 👊

          The intensity of the lights needs to be adjusted to your scene. If you use Physical Camera it needs to be turned up. The value will also depend greatly on the light unit you have specified for your lights.

            Alan, Not sure I understand you, but light fixures do not light the model when it is viewed in SketchUp. If you have done it properly, lights will function only in the render.

              I think I have understood what happened. I changed light position every moment in order to see wtf happened with them. But I've already seen that if I put just the middle point of the sphere of the omni light, inside any place, it will not work.

              I put onmi lights everywhere, but always hiding just the middle point of the sphere, now I think it will work... im rendering!! omg.. so slow!!

              Do you know any "trick" for rendering quickly?

              Greetings

                Trick to make a scene render more quickly will depend from scene to scene.
                If you have a screenshot of your scene and a test render it'd be easier to give specific tips.
