Vray Material preview
-
i dont know why when i import a vismat to sketchup, it looks gray in the model.
for example here i imported a wood floor material, but it looks gray... anyone??

Hello,
as usual, which versions of SU and Vray do you use and on which web site did you download your material ? It is known that old materials downloaded from web are out to date and not compatible with recent versions of SU and Vray.

Hi, some materials in vismat file don't have real texture but a different color. Only when rendering appears real texture

Hi there !
I had the same problem not long ago and I applied the following solution :
1-when you download a vismat, you are provided with a folder containing several files.
Usually the vismat itself, a bump file, a displacement file, AND a diffuse file.
2-When your vismat is imported, select it with the eyedropper tool of the Material window in sketchup. Then in the Vray material Editor, in the "diffuse" section, click on the blue M between "color" and "transparency".
3-In the Vray texture Editor, select TexBitmap in the list right Under the preview window.
4-At the top of the window you're in, fill the "file" field by browsing and selecting the diffuse file that came with your downloaded vismat folder. It is a jpeg that usually has either a D or a "Diffuse" in its name.If it's already selected before browsing, act as if it was not, and select it + ok.
5-Click ok and look at your material in your model now.
Now it appears as such, and not as a plain meaningless color.
Note that now, you can scale it like any sketchup material in the Material window of sketchup.
From a beginner to another, my solution might not be so academic, but it worked for me. If it does for you, I'll be glad, since very simple questions for beginners generate very few interrest/answer in this forum. Unfortunately.
B good and tell me about it.
