Hi everyone. I have a similar problem to hvanessen. My vismat materials are grey, but look fine in the preview. It's set to a Textbitmap in the Diffuse layer too. How do I solve this. It does this with all my vismats. Im using Sketchup 2016 and Vray

Hi Almarma You really need to learn how your Mac works- it really helps, and it's not difficult either. If you search for stuff using Spotlight, you will get shown the pathways to directories/ files at the bottom of the window, where you will find what you need to throw away. I would also recommend that you Google "EasyFind", which is a brilliant search utility for Mac, and use that too I hope that helps

My "first" render (not exactly, as I have been reading Luxrender forums and I took the idea there. [image: Ggzg_640.jpg]) And I made this experiment for fun (colors are decreased in the rendered result, so is not accurate): [image: Hg2p_animacion.gif]

thanks guys for the reply. i watched this video before but was not really what i 'm looking for. would like the water as transparent but not one single object. anyway thank you.

@solo said: Looks great, what scares me is working with a client on a project and waking up the next morning to find he has been doing many changes overnight. It seems you can undo every change ,and you can give your cliënt differend kinds of rights to colaborate in the design. It looks that it works like in the 3d warehouse ,and in google docs.

Okay, I now shut up as I am neither a Mac not an Indigo user.

@d12dozr said: This folder has one .rb and a Virtualwind folder from my Plugins folder. I think I got it all, but lemme know if it doesnt work. Trying hanger skp with Manifold 1.4 on PC...Sketchup has been unresponsive for the last 15 mins. On a side note, this collaboration would be a good use for Google Wave...whaddya think? I am able to install the plugin in sketchup 7 (so glad i kept an install file copy), but when i try clicking on RUN/launch, there is some message stating that I need an .exe file. Do you have this file? Thanks!!

@unknownuser said: Unless you have the computing power you will never see "real-time". We run Opticore and showcase on a 192 core SGI icebox cluster and there is still a slight delay when rotating geometry...but we are rotating 1.5-2gb files with 75 million polys too. I might be just around the corner .....maybe in a year or 2 http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/12/intel-48-core-processor/

start getting some good night backgrounds and making light fixtures good luck

Looks fab. Be great if they remember to include the buttons to create seamless tile-able textures out of it too...

This refer to the new version of VfSU which is still in beta. ASGVis want discussion related to the beta to be contained to their own beta forum. There is a section "VfSU BetaTesting" at http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?action=forum where all beta questions should be asked. All beta testers should have gotten access to that section. If you are part of the beta but don't have access contact ASGVis to have them sort our your permission. Updated manual is being written, but won't be ready until the release. Until then ask other beta testers. I'm locking this thread as VfSU beta discussions should be contained in the ASGVis beta forums.

@unknownuser said: Question: I have used the RpTreeMaker to make some trees but when I use the option to create the Vray Alpha i get no results. And if it saved an alpha - where does it get saved... Or - maybe I dont know how to get the trees to render good (without a black outlind border around the tree)the holes that should be see thru but they are not, they have black blocking them. Now I can use photoshop to clear that black out but to save it as a new tree pic makes it square again so trying to create one for Vray seems not to be working. Maybe you can explain it a little bit to me. The Vray clipmask is saved on a "dummy" material on SketchUp. You would need to click on the material and choose "Export Texture Image" It is also stored in your temporary folder in a subfolder called RPS_TreeMaker_Images [image: 3GNe_rptree-vray.jpg]

I see. .dae can be exported from SU, and meshlab does handle that format, as well as .obj then if it is just the .3ds file format that gets in the way. Chris

To render a background you need special 360 degrees background images. But if you don't have that, instead a regular photo, insert the photo into the background afterwards using Photoshop or similar.

Sorry, didn't realise there was a Vray section. Will post there.
