Default Lights are not related to the V-Ray Sun.

In order to get the V-Ray Sun you must enable GI under Environment and ensure that it's map is Sun/Sky.

Thank you for the info.

Is this rendering plugin no longer a viable option with SU8?

Or have I simply "installed" it incorrectly?

There are a number of causes for this. Most common appear to be materials.
I'd advice you to check out the ASGVis forum where you will find a sticky that describes how to get hold of the error log. Then you can submit that error log and model to ASGVis support.

Just in case you have come across a new issue.

its a new render engine from the makers of kerkythea...

When the error message popped up telling you that you had already activated a demo license, it should also have told you to send an email with the request code. Please follow those instructions, it's the only way you're ever going to get it to work properly.

will surely upload my model......no i didn't check the messages .. the grass material was itself already in the sketchup material library.. it wasn't loaded from anywhere else... i mean any external jpeg images..has anyone experienced a problem where the alpha channels for transparency load into sketchup but don't show in the renders?? this file maybe got corrupt because the flowers showed up in render when i copy pasted them into a new untitled file

Can you share a test scene?

You're using parallel perspective. VfSU doesn't work well with that. At least not with physical camera. I remember people talking about various ways to do this, but I don't know what they did. I never had to use parallel projections.
The ASGVis forum should have a few posts on this.

Thanks Solo for reply!

Hi,

Another member, oli, recently did an extensive/exhaustive test with Twilight on this subject. Some of his final renders are amazing and deserves to be read.

I know it's not VRay but his experience and suggestion might help?

@oli:

Hope you don't mind?

Modo's render engine isn't bad, far from it. Certainly not given its price. ❗ However, it's no match for Vray or Maxwell. Have a look at the gallery over at Luxology.com. Not that many great looking interior renders in there. There's a handful, certainly, but those came into being, I'm sure, at the expense of very high render times.

While I quite like Modo's renderer, I wouldn't mind an extra option. 😉

Every length unit in VfSU refer to inches. Displacement multiplier for instance 1.0 = 1 inch.
Override focal distance - inches.

You must use the VrImage to .exr tool found on ASGVis website, then open the .exr in an image editor and resave in the format you want.

Hi Chris,

Although I don't mind you posting your question here at the SCF, I do suggest that you make a search at the KT Forum, where I'm sure you can easily find answers to most (if not all) of your questions... 😉

just a heads up, the OP posted this thread 4 years ago.

Do you've faced any such situation earlier??

No.

The vray isn't accepting any alpha map..

What do you mean by it isn't "accepting"? Are you getting errors?
