[Plugin] V-Ray Tools
-
dude, i owe you a sixpack, if you're ever in Seattle...!
Such a simple thing, to load or not load a plugin at SU startup, yet took hours of searching to find this tool. Works great, and solves a huge problem my labs are/were having with vray network licensing.
Thankyou,
Harinama

This new version is looking very good!
I still have problems with camera match, though. Even after regenerating a Camera Matched scene, rendering in vray produces an image as if the camera has zoomed in on the object.
I can't publish any image now, to show the problem, but I will try to do it later, so you can see what happens.
Take care,

I had a little time to do a simple photomatch:
this is the photomatch scene:
This is the recreated scene:
This is what Vray comes up with:
Any advice?

Is the V-Ray camera set to zoom?

The zoom value of the Vray camera is set to 1,0
Do I have to look somewhere else?

TT,
Thanks for the awesomeness, this one is a beauty. Put another beer on the map if in Baltimore.
I am experiencing some odd behavior, perhaps others are also. I have a simple studio scene set up. After running the plugin and applying aspect ratio I see the familiar safe frame bars on either side of the viewport just fine. If I orbit around the scene and then try to return the scene to its view point by hitting the scene tab, the bars disappear. The only way I can get them back is by clicking off the TT vray camera tools and then running the script again. not a big deal but wish it weren't so. Any thoughts?
Attached are some pics if it helps.

Not sure what it is. But I've had some issues occationally myself. Trouble is that SU doesn't expose everything. Might be that.

After you set the aspect ratio you need to Update the scene. (Right-click Scene Tab > Update)

Thanks for taking the time to follow me through. Let's hope a new version of VfSU is on its way soon!

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for the brilliant and very needed idea behind this plug-in!
I'm having a difficulty installing it (using windows 7 64x , SU8 and vray 1.49)
as it seems , all other plug-ins for sketchup have a folder that comes with the zip file , in the forum page here , I couldnt find anything more than the .rb file
am I missing something?
I'm really sure I copied the .rb file to the right location and still sketchup wont recognize any new plug-inssincerely.

Note that the file you down load here is an RBZ files - not just RB. Right above the download in the red box there is a link to instructions to how you install RBZ files.

Hmmm, does the on demand loader work for anyone with the new v-ray 1.6 beta ? Or did i do something wrong ? lol. I disabled v-ray from extensions, but when i reload sketchup and click "start v-ray" from this plugin, it says in bottom left that it's loading v-ray but nothing happens.
-
It has worked for me...
If you open the Ruby Console, do you get any errors?
Also, could you please fill your your profile information with SketchUp version and OS?

When i press "Start V-ray" i get :
Error: #<LoadError: no such file to load -- C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/plugins/VRayForSketchup.rb.disabled>

Could not activate loader. File not found. -
Whoops ok, i was still running an old version of V-Ray tools, installed last version and it works fine now !
-
Yea - that error was an odd one. Glad it's working now.

Thanks for this plugin thom. I don't see your toolbar after installation, already check the toolbar in view menu but it's already enabled. Im using sketchup2013 do you have solutions for this?
