Whatch Fernando's 4 part video on material creation. http://youtu.be/4KvYhq-dX_0

Thanks for your reply thomthom. Really enjoying learning the software and whilst my first attempts don't match up to some of those on here, I'm pretty pleased! Hopefully I'll be able to keep learning and contribute more to the forum in the future.

yep that was brill thanks what one would i use for mac viewers please

Thanks for another great release!

You do have to look at a monitor to see the model, a webcam (or other camera connected to a computer) is used to "see" a target that the model is projected up from, so whatever else the webcam sees will be in the image as well. Confusing maybe, but that is what it looks like.

@andybot said: If you get a good bump map - you can use that either in the bump or displacement slot. You could also try playing with the noise and stucco texture in the vray materials textures. As far as color, you can create an additional diffuse layer to adjust color only, and use the Alpha color trick to make your first diffuse layer transparent (and use the bump map as your texture to control the mapping.) Hope that all makes sense Andy Thanks heaps Andy, Ill have a play tonight when i get a chance and let you know if it works... you wouldnt happen to have a vismat you could share so I can study it to be sure im doing it right? appreciate the response!

Thats how I believed it worked. But I maybe wrong

Well, at least it seems you've found the problem. You shouldn't have to delete anything, just remove the texture map from the material. Otherwise, you should be able to right-click on the material and remove it. Want to post a screen capture of one of the materials that doesn't work?

Has anyone had any success in figuring out how to fix this issue with VRAY and SU 2015? I have used photo match to setup multiple camera views.

Thanks andybot and valerostudio ::sips frappucino:: mmmm... Okay, that's enough of this today, I wrote my huge chunk of text for the day, time to get back to programming!

Yes and with the new DX11 patch it looks even better. The feeling of painting entire forests of animated trees is great.

Hello, as you wrote it, the last user manual covers only the new features since 1.48 versions of VRfSU. The previous one, complete, seems to be important. Downloadable on Chaos website.

Roger, I'm glad everything worked out. It's always a good idea to schedule regular backups. I've lost more files than I care to admit by neglecting to backup. I try to contact the authors of any plugins that do not work well from outside SketchUp's default folder. The typical reply is that "I'll consider it, but it's not a common request." The installers of some plugins even allow installing to any arbitrary location even if that breaks their plugin.

thank you very much! i increased the sample value to 50 in the irradiance map menu and everything is fine now, i left all the settings on my usual values so the render time is still fast, with the 0/2 IM rate or the 3000 subdivs in LC the render time was too long

Looks superb, I havent considered Lightup before but I will definately check it out after seeing those videos.

Oh thanks alot and so sorry haven browse enough to see the topic earlier on @thomthom said: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=322&t=38133
