Turn off ALL shadows in vray 1.49.01
-
Hey dear fellows - Im new to this forum - I'working now with sketchup 8.0 and the Vray Render 1.49.01 I think everything works fine for me - but at the moment I have a project I'am working at and I don't want any shadows at all.
In the global enviroment options I disabled the shadows
In the sketchup shadow settings I also disabled first "display: on ground / display: on faces" I dont have any additonal light sources then the GI Light.
What should I turn off to don't render the shadows? At this point I don't have a clue
Thanks for you help - it is appreciated!
regards Badeindi

try your vray material editor - there's an option to not cast shadows (you'll have to do it for each material)
-
Remove the Sky map from GI and Background under Environment.
Might need to turn off Default Light under General Switches.That's what I do - and then usually reply in a plain colour in the GI to give a nice soft light from all direction that leaves no shadow.
SketchUp's own shadow settings has no effect on VRay (other than controlling sun position)

oh, right- turn off default light in the global options. Background doesn't add any illumination does it?

No - it doesn´t. Just assumed that the sky wasn´t wanted at all.

Hi Guys! Thanks for all the replies!
I`ve found the solutions but you all pointed towards the solution too - in "Settings Enviroment" I went to GI Color and then to the "M" button to switch off any shadows in the window "TexSky" - no shadows any more 
best regards
Badeindi!

I have the same situation, but I don't know how to remove the skymap from GI, Background is off and Default Lights are off.. I keep getting the shadows from my sketchUp model.
This is driving me nuts! -
The little "m" button stands for editing the map of that item. Besides, I found that you don't have to turn the whole sun off, making the whole result dark. You onlt have to get inside the sun map, and turn off shadow
