Thank you for all your comments and help "dkendig".

glad I can help. Sorry I'm not able to be on here more often. We have a bit of work ahead of us yet. Keep the comments and reports coming though! They are a huge help!

I think we all prefer you working on the next beta release than lurking SCF all day long !

Do you have any other render engines installed?

Yup me to on my Home Laptop, I deleted everything, plugins the works. Then installed SU 2013 and Vray Beta 1.6 and the same problem happened. Crazy thing is its not happening on my work computer. Ive sent a bug report.

There's a very painful bug with SU8 where some materials applied from the SU material palette cause an immediate bugsplat. SU7 and SU2013 do not have this problem.

One way to avoid the problem is to right click on the material and select the option "add to model", then you can use the material.

Oh yes they do. Read my post above. I did a clean sweep, installed 2013 and no other plugins other than Vray. I just can't seem to fix it. I've tried alsorts of things.

andybot · 29 May 2013, 12:51

Dunno, I've tried it with both SU7 and SU2013. I get crashes in 2013, but not consistently like with SU8. As in, I can apply a material from the SU palette and it doesn't crash immediately like with SU8. However, I gave up on 2013. I was getting all sorts of random crashes. I have actual work to do, so I removed 2013, I just don't have time to deal with this $h!t

There was a discussion thread with dkendig and valerostudio on the CG forum a little while back where this was elaborated on. For whatever reason, this error surfaced in SU8 only.

dkendig · 29 May 2013, 14:29

It was a SU observer bug. The Maxwell guys actually reported it before I was able to, but I did give them a high five for reporting it.

Vray 1.6 is good..
but whenever i start sketchup it produce bug splat ..
without vray 1.6 it works fine
.. please some one help

dkendig · 29 May 2013, 19:47

sounds like a faulty install. Be sure that SketchUp and XMLDRSpawner processes are not running when you try to install the 1.6 beta. Also be sure that the license server isn't running. DO NOT UNCHECK ANYTHING when installing the 1.6 beta, and if you are prompted to restart at any point during the installation, do so immediately, do not click "No" and continue the installation. After the restart you will need to run the installer again most likely, because Windows had to remove some files that were locked during the attempted uninstall process.

I really dont know where to ask this question than i ask here.

Does vrayforsu 1.6 beta has some limitation or what cause i cant get more prepass in IRRADIANCE MAP than just one.

There's an option for "multi-pass" (under "advanced options") If it's unchecked, you will only see one pass even though it is doing all the calculations. See if that is the case.

Correct me if I am wrong. So you mean we have to uncheck the Multipass option when doing render to ensure multi prepass in IR?

No, AFAIK that button only affects what you see in the render window, not what is going on "behind the scenes"

petrusyap · 30 May 2013, 20:18

I found out, if we previously render using RT, after we back to the usual common render processing, the multi prepass won't process more than 1 prepass. If wanna have prepass rendering processing again, we have to reset the rendering option.

We developed this beta, using the SketchUp 2013 Beta on one development machine, and SketchUp 8 on another. We should be 100% compatible with both versions.

For all the people that work in 1.6.0.23 I have an issue with the install of the new version, is some related to the beta and it shows a 30 days demo with a code and you cannot work in vray because it run as a demo with watermarks.

Only if you have an issue with a error message and a code number please contact support at:

vrayforsketchup@chaosgroup.com

They fix the problem I spend a couple hours try almost all in Mac OSX and after I give up. the customer service fix the problem ASAP.

Thanks again to the customer service of Chaosgroup, Corey, and also Andy, valero for your help.
