I wish your nothing but success in getting a return for your hard efforts.c
BUT! I'm totally disillusioned with Vray for SketchUp or any other Vray product Chaosgroup makes for other 3d programs. I don't want to read a book on how to render using Vray. SketchUp is simple to use, Vray for SketchUp is not.
Finally the renderings Vray produces are all POOR and have no basis for what real world lighting is all about. All you have to do is take a picture with your Iphone outdoors. depending on the sky conditions. A clear cloudless sky will provide sharp shadows while a sky with intermittent clouds will create soft shadows. An HDR rendering program like KeyShot will take all this into account.
Here is a link to the subject aboutcaustics and reflections: Vray does not take into account the index of refraction of materials.

Are you not aware vfs now can use HDR for lighting with the new domelight? Soft shadows and all the rest. Try it, you might like it.

Um, not sure your point - looks like the image show in that thread has no direct light on the water - how would you have caustics without a point light source? Vray does have dispersion, not sure if it's in vfs, but it's definitely in the other versions of vray. There's also progressive rendering and some other things coming down the pipeline that we may see (stuff that's in vray 3.0 now, but not available for vfs.), so keep an eye on it, there will be some really cool things coming this way with vfs.

Well, of course it isn't. It can't be. Trust me, I know learning Vray can be frustrating, but in the end, it's all worth it.

Sorry -you're quite wrong. Ten minute render:
-
I have done all my effort it keep it technically correct while yet simple. images are in large size to be easy to follow and renders are not "out of reach" and not too simple and poor.
Hope you find it useful -
Very beautiful renders, Majid.
I wish you all the best with your book.
Cheers,

:I beta tested Vray for 1.5 years, before I arriving at my conclusion.
The amount of time I wasted making suggestions, were never really answered or responded to.Its a no brainier to make a version of Vray for sketchup as easy to use as Sketchup.
I have often made the suggestion to make 3 versions of Vray, and price them accordingly.- easy to use: for dummies
- medium for those willing to spend some time.
- hard to use, for those that have nothing but time on their hands to teak renderings until
the end of time.
Regardless the rendering engine market is huge, and Vray may well have reached its own level
of resistance, there are better engines on this ever changing horizon
-
From my perspective, Vray is one the best render engines out there, so I have to ask: what engine, in your opinion, doesn't produce 'poor' images?
