Tried that procedure, but it didn't work. Got the same result.

OK, "CameraPhysical" has been checked, & the render has come out TOTALLY BLACK!!!

Your opening an tutorial file meant for a much older version of Vray. I believe those files have been kicking around from the old 1.05 version. Try to open your Options and click Load Defaults. This will at least get you a image rendered with the Sky GI. If you are using the latest 1.49.01 plugin I would not use these files.

Might even be older, from the very first version... I imagine I saw the same scene in the manual for the first release.

BLECH!!! well, that sucks. I only downloaded the file tyo learn from it.

I'm a "fresh meat" to vray u see.

I created a normal cube with a corner of it chipped away, and rendered it. Got the shadow shade, but the background was still white. Is that normal for all Vray renders @ the start?

Also, can anybody recommend any good sites so I learn more about Vray properties?

ps: thanks for all the help so far u guys!!!

Go to the Chaos page on YouTube and watch all the Vray for SketchUp videos and you will be well on your way.

The online V-Ray manual has good explanations - especially the examples section: http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150SP1/
