Holidays range usually one and a haft months around the shortest day of the year here. Have a good day then.

Hey Kalu, Glad to help! We all learn something. Stefan, I hadn't even seen the rectangular lights at the windows. No wonder the render times were so high, that's a lot of competing lights. I used the global "lights" option to turn off all the light sources. My thought is that if you can't see the difference of the light in the scene with the GI on, you probably shouldn't have it in the scene. Andy

Really cant help you on that. Post your question here http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums where the developers will be able to help you.

Agreed. I have been using 1.49.01 since its release last year and I have never had a Bugsplat. Knock on wood.

@edison said: My V-ray is 1.48.96, windows. Default number is 50, and I made 150, now renders looks great, but takes more time.. Glad it worked for you Do you want to post an updated image?

Are you making that texture from scratch? Or are you trying to make a seamless texture from a photo? On creating a seamless texture in PS: http://www.photoshoptextures.com/texture-tutorials/seamless-textures.htm Or maybe you could try this: http://www.bricksntiles.com/

This topic is veeery old, bud I find myself having the same problem in v-ray 3.4 And I have a beast of a machine - threadripper 1950x + 32 gb RAM + GTX 1080Ti. No luck with xeon at work. Any new info on the solution?

@ilay7k It's more also for Modo, or Blender but why not!

hi, i´ve found this video, which makes you happier ( hope so:-) enjoy ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuudbR9jouw&feature=related [image: zujcp1.jpg]

Correct. We have to direct the license server to the folder where the licenses are, this bat file does exactly that.

I'm afraid that Time is something that I'm in desperate shortage of. I guess regulars around here has noticed that I've been less active in the V-Ray section, which is due to the time it takes to make a good reply. I've barely been able to keep in track with my plugins even lately... While I appreciate the praise, "guru" I am not. I just know enough to get me by with what I need. Nomeranda ...or however it's spelled... has been doing some nice tutorials, and he really knows his stuff. Keep an eye on his blog. (will see if I can dig up the link )

just downloaded it, thanks for the suggestion.

@unknownuser said: @utiler said: Hi guys, I confess, I don't when the difference... can someone humor me? From a user's point of view (and grossly generalizing): unbiased renderers have relatively few options and are quite easy to use. Downside: they're slow. biased renderers have many options and are relatively hard to use. Upside: they're fast. Both are quite capable of producing goodlooking results. Cheers, Stinkie, love the hat!! And thanks to you other guys for the input....

@ecuadorian said: But Chris, if the model is already done in Revit, what would be the purpose of exporting it to SketchUp? Just to add entourage and render? If you want movies, there's a direct path from Revit to Lumion. If you want stills, you can export to AutoCAD and... well, wait until they release the Thea plugin for AutoCAD. It is for rendering still images (Indigo, Vray ..). Getting a revit file into Sketchup is just a pain. The exported DWG files are so heavy and no materials make it hard. I do use Al Hart's 'Convert Layer Names to Materials' but the whole procedure of it all is tedious and the SU file I end up with is nearly unusable.

i had two windows opened at the same time - the one with 'repository' and the new project. 'repository' -> find desired material -> save material -> open project window -> load material -> catastrophe i followed your suggestion about having two windows open at the same time, so i tried to: open repository -> find desired material -> pack material -> close rep. -> open project window -> load material -> win thanks for reply.

The complete explanation maybe http://nomeradona.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-correcting-textures-that-are-not.html

hi, are you sure, absolutely sure, that lights are enabled in the global switches? Also, check intensity, color, if they are on a hidden layer, if the orientation of faces is right. Hope it's useful
