      no. 😄

      I'm using SketchUp 2017, V-Ray 3.4

        Actually - would it be possible as long as you use the vray uv setting instead of from SU? I'll try it when I have a chance.

            i read somewhere that the VRay plane cannot be textured (accepts only the color from SU's material).

            the information about vray infinite plane [in rhino, but since no texture is showing up in my tests...]

            andy, i've no idea what exactly you mean 😄 i'd be very eager to see your results.

              if you use UV mapping of "UVWGenPlanarWorld" for your material, you can use a texture on the infinite plane. The repeat amount is inverse (for example 8" = 0.125 repeat) Here's an example

                    👍 👍

                    this is awesome. i just tried to apply a bump texture with the same method, and it works.
                    i wonder why is this not in any pdf manual?

                    EDIT: displacement doesn't work.

                      soooo - i'm not getting this.

                      i created an infinite plane - applied my texture to the infinite plane. hit render - nothing.

                      andy - can you explain the 8"=.125 ?

                      thanks

                        Thanx a lot, it´s first time I see the answer !!

                        To be more precise, and for those who work in other units than inches like in Europa, let's take an example :

                        Wood parquet floor in SU : go and check texture size by clicking on Edit in SU Materials.
                        I work in cm, so it tells me : 304.8 cm x 121.9 cm.

                        You convert in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm), or for lazy bums, you go and change units in Model info / units.

                        So it turns that texture size is 120" x 48".
                        Take the smaller value, and inverse : 1/48 = 0.02

                        Fill in Repeat on 3 axis (even though this a 2D image) : X 0.02, Y 0.02 Z 0.02
                        And that´s it !
