      Hey guys ..

      I have a question that I hope you can answer.
      I use Vray for sketchup and am very pleased with the results I get. BUT! When I see renderings made ​​with Vray for Sketchup and compares them with renderings done in Vray for 3ds Max, then I can see a significant difference in the quality of raw rendering. Vray for 3ds Max is just in a higher quality. I've tried to copy the settings that people use in Vray for 3d Max, but I still can not get renderings up to the same level. Vray for 3d Max is much more photo realistic, with much more depth and details. But the funny thing is that when I compare Vray for Sketchup and Vray to Rihno, which is exactly the same plugin I also think that Vray for Sketchup is a bit behind in terms of quality? Does Vray for sketchup just have a more simple render engine or what?

      Hope you can answer my question?

      Greetings Mads

        I'd be surprised if the engines themselves were really different. I'd suspect that at least most of the time the quality difference is part user and part modeling program. Sketchup has a lot more novice users than 3ds max. Max is a beast to learn and is crazy expensive so is scares off most of the hobbyists. Also, you can add a level of detail in Max that is rarly seen in SU, and often those details make all the difference in renderings.
