Hello ! I'm starting with V-Ray for SketchUp and i'm interested to find where i can buy proxy objects like trees, grass et flowers. Can you help me with that ? Regards, Hélène C

there are various causes for this to appen. try exit the application and restart.. then try to ovverride materials.. and also you should give more information about your model, materials etc.. anyway there are a lot of discussions about this.. http://sketchucation.com/forums/search.php?keywords=encountered+error%28s%29+while+trying+to+render+error+log+details&fid%5B0%5D=322

lejzidejzi - 1.49.02 was never released, and is a pirated version. Please upgrade to the latest version of V-Ray, in order to get access to a 64bit version of our product. The 4gb patch that you guys are talking about, just turns on LARGEADDRESSAWARE, which is on by default in SketchUp 2014 or later. SketchUp 7,8, and 2013 did not have this turned on, and in that case, this patch could hack the SketchUp executable to access up to 4gb of memory (golf clap), but the 64bit version can access more memory than any workstation can possibly have for the next 5 years. Please do not attempt to hack the very outdated 1.49.02 with this patch, it's dangerous, and it shouldn't change anything at all if you're using a version of SketchUp that was made in the past 2 years.

you need to change the windows registry (google search for "sketchup openGL wine") @unknownuser said: If you get the error "SketchUp was unable to initialize OpenGL!], run regedit, open [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp6\GLConfig\Display], and change "HW_OK" to 1. plus a few more troubleshooting tips here: http://wiki.winehq.org/GoogleSketchup

hi chon, i´t s great, at the end i´ve found it! man, i´m glad that was a trivial problem thank you all you guys ! [image: SkvJI.jpg]

@andybot said: um, silly question, but are you trying to render a line in vray? If you are, you need to give it a face. Vray doesn't render lines, no matter what material you give it. You could also share your test file and maybe the answer is in there. lol no i wasn't trying to render a line thats why i was using toon material

check in Sketchup what the face orientation may be, i.e. if those are oreinted correctly and not backfaces

Thank you jpalm32 yes it need more realism, not happy with the display cabinet because was having problem with 'funny' bluish refelctions with vray also the floor looks to clean but it does on the picture as well. will make some changes following suggestions. Could some one tell me if there is a specific place in this forums to put this kind of post? will like to share more and help other people if I can.

@solo said: @jpalm32 said: XnView show SKP & HDR also and is free. I used to have that before Mystic, I found it slow to show large HDRI thumbs It is really slow at that, very true. Solo: XNView has a MP version that is super fast with HDR, but for some reason SKP files aren't showing in 64 Version. But HDR very fast. Has anyone tried Mootools 3D Brouser ($29) or Poly cruncher?

Unfortunately I can't....

hi solo, thanks for your answer and kind offer to upload a model of the lamp. that´d be very kind of you!

woooooooooooooow! I finally did it. Thank you so much for the help Master Thomthom!! Thank you also for this great community... [image: SmNr_render.jpg] [image: VEt2_render2.jpg]

yeah artlantis is fast as it does nothing. i think ms-paint is also faster. and a bit more relistic than artlantis. worst metal ever and plenty of limitations. i'm forced to use it often at office and i'm absolutely hate it. and please look at he real maxwell render. the one embedded in artlantis is a TOY. plus if you use maxwell engine it becomes as slow as maxwell. so you lost the only advantage of use artlantis that is quantity and speed. not quality. that's for sure.

Open the vray for sketchup option. Under "Camera" Roll-out go through the 'CameraPhyical' Then check the 'Zoom Factor' option. It should be 1 if we dont V-ray to zoom the view. 1 is default value.

Hi folks, I posted a few questions that will help us to understand in which direction to go in our further development. Please take a look: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=51752

Hi, I only speak Spanish. I have a similar problem with "BugSplat" and I have a response to a possible conflict. I deactivated the box "USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION" The "BugSplat" disappeared. the problem may be in the Hardware or drivers. If someone helped this track, just ask. Bye, greetings to all In Spanish/en Español A mi me parece el "BugSplat" aun que sólo cuando se cierra el programa. En un momento desactive la casilla "USAR ACELERADOR DE HARDWARE" y el "BugSplat" desapareció. asi que puede ser problema de compatibilidad del Hardware o de los drivers. ... Si alguien le ayuda esta pista no dude en preguntar cualquier otra cosa. Saludos a todos.

Thanks for your help, I have tried both threads, but with no luck. I also don't have the full Maxwell suite just the plugin which I think would give me much more freedom. I have removed all textures and materials purged the file and then started again with the materials. But still no luck!!! If I render each face individually they look fine, but as soon as I render the whole project I get my stripey legs back. Thanks again, back to the drawing board. Cheers Matt

one quick troubleshooting advice: are you running more than one window of Sketchup? There are some bugs that occur if you have more than one instance of vray running at the same time. Try using only one window of SU and see if the problem goes away.
