Importing the scene to Maxwell Studio does give better results with the built in semi ortho cameras.

There's a separate checkbox for affect reflections - could that be your issue?

V-Ray for SketchUp was developed by ASGVis - they where not 100% consistent with the UI labels that V-Ray for Max used. Now that ASGVis is part of ChaosGroup this might (hopefully) change.

LC is only calculated on the local machine - vray does not use DR for LC. For the irrmap - if you are using "incremental add to map" and using a frame rate 1/6th the speed of your final render, the calculation goes pretty quick, so shouldn't be too much of an issue to not use DR. Once you have the GI solution, then you can use your DR for the final renders. (make sure the saved maps are available for all your network.)

So sorry brother.... though I was checking, I didn't know anyone responded!! The RC Engine Redesign was put out on to the warehouse for all very early on. A second model has also been posted. I wasn't trying to cheat anyone out of anything I was just trying to finish a video with options available in pro - not available in the non-pro version. That video was also published. The whole effort was a contribution to community. Hope there were no misunderstandings. Affections

vyonyx strikes again!

40th or Jenny had done this tutorial how to correct this here.. http://sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.com/2011/09/tutorial-displacement-subdivision.html

@andybot said: lol, I didn't say it's not useful, you should just know that there are many things that are different with the current version. The manual is still the best place to start to understand the concepts, but I would also recommend looking at the video tutorials, as they explain a number of the newer features that don't show up in the manual and I think are pretty helpful. There's been a lot of frustrations - if you read through some of the posts in the vray section of this forum and the chaosgroup forum - regarding the slow pace of development of vray for sketchup. thanks

Same material. Reflection and mapping changes. [image: TBdb_Balls3.jpg] bling1.skp

Hello! I exported as an .MXS and then just hit the black render button, despite exporting out the original .skp scene.. it worked! Thats makes noooooo sense to me, but Solo, thanks for the tip, it solved this problem! Really, thanks. Was pulling my hair out. Cheers for the help

That's an amazing take on the problem! In this way the single window pane can become a component to copy around the building... (and it takes care of material and uv settings too!) What would be the perfect distance between glass pane tho?

@juliogriebeler said: Hello, i want to load 3 similar extensions with different names and icons. But with all activated in the menu Window/Preferences, in the menu View/Toolbar/ shows only one of them. Anyone know a solution to load the three at the same time? This probably belongs in the Developers' forum ? When you write a new 'tool' you create a toolbar and add commands into it; each commands has its own button images etc... If you have separate scripts loading you need to make an enduring reference to the toolbar. So have a 'loader' script, with a 'module' [say module Julios...... end] in which you define the toolbar with a @tbar = ... reference. Then get it to load the other scripts which you have in a subfolder [perhaps called 'Julios']. Then have each of those script's 'tools' encased in the same named 'module', and have some code to add each tool's command/button to ' @tbar' toolbar. This way you make the toolbar and add items too it from other scripts, by sharing the same module and a common reference to the toolbar, using a @ name that 'endures'

It's not a big price else you have some other where you can put any profile Here Extrude Edges by rail by faces by TIG Take a very tiny face [image: file.php?id=88451]

hi every one, I have also problem with rendering my file. It is big file, a tower, I tried to delete objects as much as I can but not much helpful. It so weird sometimes rendering but mostly caused my PC hang and even cannot shut down. mostly I have to press and hold power button to restart computer. I tried copy it and paste in new sketch up file, purge, explode those groups with many components or subgroups but still the same. Since it is for on going project, seriously I need ur help.

@eddiemoney said: Silly question though, when would I save a material? Wouldn't I have loaded it from a saved location in the first place? i think its not have always loaded from the first place, since when you create a vismat, vray will make it into zipped folder (vismat file and also the bitmap used will be included (diffuse, bump, displacement, etc.)), and you can put and load it from everywhere as long as you keep it on one folder.. regards, vd

Fixing the greyout issue and many of the crashes is a pretty neat update. It is after all a Maintenance Release - one cannot expect major features from that. Btw, there is an announcement thread here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=45516

Do you have anything 'wwx' auto-loaded from the Plugins folder ?

What is the name of the render ? Edit AAAh that is the section V RAY
