      Hey wheay,

      Do you know of a better tutorial than the one on the Vray site? I'd like to learn what the settings are for and so on. Thanks...

          Krowka, hope this helps, it's a very crude and fast example, Biebel's shape is cleaner.

          Displaced with ecosystem in Vue:

              Jeff, I would like to help with V-ray but my trial has ended and I had a choice between v-ray and Vue and I'm sure you know who won. I am sure once Kwistenbiebel gets settled into Oz he will get one going, after all this is his turf. 😉

                        Right click on the surface-->entity info-->click on the material's thumbnail-->edit. Or pick the material with the eyedropper, then go to the material panel-->edit.

                          Hi,
                          you can (unfortunately) only edit a projected texture's positioning on the same face from where you projected it or from a parallel face.
                          That means:
                          Either you have to remember where the red-dashed triangle (second image) was - or, better, you project the texture from a face outside of that organic shape (like an image) and then you just hide this "helper face" and don't delete it. Keep it in the same group like the organic shape. Later you can right-click on that "helper face" and move, rotate and skew the texture; then project it again on the organic shape.

                            oh ok it works like that!! thank you…. but i could do it if the material is not from sketchup. for vismat materials I couldnt do.

                            and Aerilius thanks for your reply, it seemed pretty advanced for me, but I will try…

                            i opened a new post for the scene i am working on… the materials I use are vismats and i dont know how to control them yet... 😕
