Sketchup Vray rendering problem

andybot

as I mentioned, the chaosgroup.com website has a downloads section for sketchup for vray materials which are all current. You need to be registered to have access.

Thought I'd share some final renders for the project.. here you go:

I know it doesn't look that realistic, but it would have been too much work too separate my models so I could add special materials etc..
Thanks for the help guys.

That is a nice conceptual piece of design, well done.

It doesnt have to be realistic if its conceptual.

hi, i have a question , how can i purge the unused materials?

yeah, vray.com is not the official website what so ever. You'll notice, at the top of their website (and I believe on every page) there is a notice that says the following: "V-Ray is a trademark of Chaos Software Ltd. The official source of information on V-Ray is chaosgroup.com. This site is not affiliated with chaosgroup.com." If you go to the chaosgroup website, there are materials available for download there, which are official materials.

Open the V-Ray material editor, and right click on Scene Materials at the top of the material list, you should see the option there.

Please submit your question to support@chaosgroup.com with a more detailed description of your process and what is happening in your scene when you render. If you would like to provide us with the scene, please do so using a file sharing service of your choice. We typically use http://www.dropbox.com.

Hi there,

I've been using vray for some weeks now. I have to finish a project in two weeks, but lately I can't render anymore. I always get this message:unable to create a an error report,please check your temp folder.
I looked this up on the internet, and people get this message when they are trying to render files that are to big.. but my file isn't that big? It's 25mb. I have added some bit maps and even vray proxy also for 3d trees & components
I need a big size rendered image i.e. is like 3000 x 1500, I'm using the latest sketchup version 8 pro with vray 2.0.

please help me.

If you are rendering a large image size, you can still run out of memory. Take a look at the 64bit rendering tutorial on our tutorial page: http://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY2SKETCHUP/64+Bit+Workflow

This should help alleviate your issue.

I have also a problem with rendering in vray. The problem is that when I finish with the render almost every material in the picture went black. I see this kind of problem for the first time so I can not even find a solution to this problem on internet. And if I can sent somehow a picture of finish render it will be great.

Thanks alot people

It's too bad we cant see the LC pass when using the 64 bit trick.
