Hi Hal! I didn't want to make another topic so I'll post in this one slightly changing the focus.

Is there any possibility we can visualiza the component's "Description" in the CF preview? Could be useful to give some preliminary info to the user without having to actually load the component in the current work file.

Just an idea!

A couple quick things you could try:

First try disabling displacement. Uncheck 'Displacement' under 'Switches' in the Asset Editor, then see if it renders any better. If it does, then you have a material using displacement that is causing too much calculations. (although, if this was the problem, it would probly get stuck on building light cache....) If it still isn't rendering, try resetting your vray settings to default (the little circle arrow at the bottom of asset editor) and try rendering on one of the default quality settings like, 'Medium'. If neither of these work, you can try copying portions of your scene to a new file a couple pieces at a time and performing test renders until you find the culprit.

Good luck!

Thank you very much halroach. I appreciate you work and your dedication. I will do as the video indicates and push forward! I look forward more awesomeness from flextools.cc.

Cheers!

You're welcome Sir! Thanks for the kind words 😄

The integration of Animator with Vray is not really official. Animator uses an API to render with VRay which I don't know if it officially supported. And VRay did not make the reverse integration where they import an Animtor animation and process it in batch (as available in Thea).

Anyway, I don't know what is VRay Swarm and if there is no API, then I am afraid it cannot be supported.

I guess throwing the model to UE and evenlearning it from zero would take considerably less time

the video would get generated in the same folder correct

I therefore offer the first programmer who programmed this script 50 USD, via Paypal or bank transfer!
Who is willing an able to build this?

Thanks juju.

These posts i already found but i was hoping that something new maybe already came up meanwhile.

Thank you for the information.

Having never used sketchup before I was looking for a version that could be used offline and didn’t require a subscription in the event I didn’t like it. I was referred to download an older version.

Do you mind describing more in details please?
As I know one may apply "fur" to a group ( That has a material, optionally) not a material itself.
There is no need to displacement.
Generating fur-like effect using displacement is another technique.
