Trying to import complex textures
-
I can't seem to find this answered, but can't imagine it hasn't been said 1,000 times. Can anyone point me to a thread showing how to import these .jpg (or sometimes .png, .bmp, etc.) files to have an end result like the large example? I can only get these results using .vismat with vray, but there are so many great textures I can't use because I can't find the instructions on how to import all of these separate files in the materials editor. Thanks in advance

Sketchup itself isn't a rendering program, so you won't get those results within the program.

I don't expect to see that look in SU, but I have vray to render. I guess if I have to use vray material editor I can do that if I can't import it thru SU, but I don't know where to put each image, like under alpha or whatever. Is there a thread for importing with VR4SU? Thx

There's no one with any info on this? I found ancient threads that refer to programs that can take all the images and package a .vismat from them, but not sure what skill I need to use it, and all the dl links are dead. Anyone, please, little help here?

Post this in the V-ray forumm here. You may have more help. Then, of course, there must be a dedicated V-ray site somewhere.
Look up "SketchUP Artists". They seem to have a lot of info on V-ray with SketchUp.

Well, for anyone coming across this thread, I'm abandoning this issue. I've searched the vray forums, and followed those to other sites as far as I can, and It seems there is no easy way to reproduce these effects without knowledge of texturing. The files seem to be included so that ppl with skill can load the seperate images into 3dsmax and make their own version from the source files. I've hurt my brain just trying to get that far, I'm not even gonna bother trying to mess with the files. I've gone over to twilight, which seems much easier to get the simple but good results I'm looking for. I'm not trying to take a college course to get this better, and it seems that's the only thing that'll get me the real results I want. Thanks for both of your responses
