            the new version is great, but I unistalled it because it crashed skup a couple of times
            I'll wait for the final version

            Also, it doesnt work with VRay tools 😞

            one thing I like about VRay tools is that I can open Skup with VRay disabled, and turn it on only when I want to render

              I want to add the CarPaint property to a material, and in the Quick Settings panel I get the message to use the Advanced Settings Panel, where is that?

              For the most part, it's unbelievable how fast it loaded a complicated interior model after hitting render! I barely blinked one time and.. snap! Great job!

                I am getting errors with SU17 and Beta as well.
                I just finished a fresh windows 10 x64 install.

                  It's changed now, that you honestly don't need vray tools any more. Vray doesn't mess with the model until you open the asset manager, render, or add vray objects.

                    So sorry you've been running into this. We've made some changes to our installer to resolve this issue and will release an update to the beta. If you email support@chaosgroup.com they can also help fix this directly.

                      On the right and left sides of the UI you have some flyout panels you can open. That's where both the material Library and the advanced parameters live. 2.0 materials are supported and render just the same, but if you have any layered material (reflection, on top of refraction and diffuse) it will default to the advanced panel. I would recommend making a new material in SketchUp and trying out the quick settings. You can change just about anything in the material quick settings. If you need additional help let me know!

                        What happens once the beta ends? does the current beta stop working and require a license to activate, or will it keep working but with a watermark?

                          Just wondering how to increase or decrease material subdivide in vray 3.4 beta. I'm unable to see it in the UI. Pls advise if this has been deleted from the UX or its been integrated with something else. Thnx.

                          Rgds,
                          Sanjeev

                            Same question here. Where can i set subdivs for materials in vray 3.4. Is is possible to do that only globally?

                              V on 'Use local subdivs', but it's a bad practice- the beauty of v.3.4 is ability to control the quality in a globalmanner.

                                  I'm checking out the latest release but I can't find the "Flat Normal" option for VrayFur anywhere... It's been mentioned in Vray documentation under LOD settings but I don't see that option there, why?

                                    Anyone having problems with V-Ray 3.4 Beta for SketchUp Pro 2016 where the scene does not render or even pop open a frame buffer when render buttons are hit. I have been trying to render a 6:1 Stereoscopic render for use with Google Cardboard. I installed V-Ray 3.4 Beta and the new License Server. I tested it with the opening scene in SketchUp and I can render 6:1 stereo format. However, when I open my SketchUp model and hit the 6:1 render button, or any other render button, it does not work. It doesn't even open the frame buffer window. In the command window at the bottom left of the SketchUp window I can see it initializes the scene but it doesn't get past "V-Ray Bootstrap: Building scene". Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

                                        Hi!! I don't know what happened? my license expired, but the Chaos Group extended it to me until the end of this month. It turns out that reinstalling vray3.40 beta and now aparace this.
                                        Before I thought it was a bug in the program so I reinstalled vray 3.40 beta and now tells me all this and nothing works.

                                          I think you need to install the trial version. The beta is closed now so that's why the license probably doesn't work anymore..

                                          Best,
