Does this happen to you ?! [3d warehouse d/l not rendering]

[sketchuh]

I downloaded around 20 models from 3d warehouse for an interior living room scene. The models are not complicated at all. But vray won't finish the render unless I delete some models. I wonder is there a poly count limit that ... Does anyone know why???!! Thanks

Many 3D warehouse items can screw up your model. Try rendering them individually and you'll find the culprit, I doubt it's got anything to do with poly count. Try purging them individually too, lots of hidden layers etc.

It's most likely a material related issue. VR had a issue with geometry missing because a material couldn't be found. It's a bug and has been addressed in a nightly test build.

Sketchuh,

Check your debugging window; Plugins>V-Ray>Debugging>Open Debug Window

You should see some text in there that will give you a hint as to what material is causing the issue. You can add that material to your scene in Sketchup and this should fix it. Essentially V-Ray is looking for a material that Sketchup creates but doesn't actually exist (its very strange).

Join the V-Ray for Sketchup forums and take a look at this post: http://forums.chaosgroup.com/showthread.php?74667-Missing-geometry-II
It elaborates a bit more on the solution and should be pretty helpful.

All the best,
