Problem with .VISMAT materials
-
Hi,
When I'm going to add a new material in material editor, I right click scene material and the load material. And when I have loaded a material like wood or grass, I make a preview. But all I get is a black ball!? Every material that uses some kind of texture don't work. But if I use a material like chrome or carpaint, then I can get a preview and it's also working when I render.
Please, someone who could help and tell me what I do wrong?! Thanks!

Exactly what is the version number of the VfSU you are using?
-
I use Sketchup 7.1 and Vray 1.48

Vray 1.48
Can you give the full version number please? The two last digits is also important.

I can't reach that computer right now to check the number. Perhaps I later. Any ideas why I get this dark preview balls?
Thanks!

You might need to reload the textures. The textures might be pointing to an invalid path (the path it was on the computer where it was created)
I think they corrected this in the last beta. -
Thanks! But where do I reload the texture? Must texture be saved at a special place?
-
For each Texture map in the material you need to click the "..." button and navigate to where the bitmap is.

Hi, thanks for the help!
But I still have some trouble with my grass materials. I use the Grass Plane.vismat material that I have downloaded from the ASGVIS homepage. Please have a look at the attached image. I can't see any bump and the grass looks so small?! I have tried to increase the texture inside Sketcup paintbucket by editing the texture to 2 x 2 meters, but it looks very unrealistic to me in the render. Is there any other options that I have missed that I can change in the materials properties to get a more realistic grass?
Is there any better method to create grass instead of using a texture like this? Is there better grass materials to dowmnload somewhere else?
Preciate som help? Thanks!
