Using Vray version 01.05.30 with SU 8.0

[Jorgensen]

Hi

Because of the larger UI window, and not beeing able to render textures as environment (and beeing a kind of oldfasioned?) , I'm stuck at Vray version 01.05.30.

I have updated to Sketchup 8.0, but my old Vray version, automatic installs in version 7.0

Does anyone know if its possible to install it to version 8.0 ?

Thanks

You mean Micas grass trick?

Been a while since I installed that version, but it does ask you where to install, does it not?

Hi Thomthom

Yes, it's might be a Micas trick, but I can't find the link anymore.

It works fine in version 01.05.30, but if I do exactly the same in the newer versions it looks very strange. Do you know if I'm doing something wrong, and it acualy works in the newer versions ? that would be nice. I have attached the texture I use, so you can se if we are referring to the same method.

When installing it does not ask for a folder, just automatic installs it in sketchup version 7. Might be because I heve both 7 and 8 installed.

No - I've not got it to work. Still bugged.
