You mean ortho? [image: xNPO_facade2.png]

The last render you post are quite good... It is missing some grass at the base of the container, a background, some soft shadow on the ground and a more realistic sky. But light and shade, and exposure of the structure are quite good in my point of view. Wait and see the progress of this project of yours.

@thomthom said: Isn't there anything at the ASGVis site? Also, in the ASGVis forum there should be some threads where people are sharing vismaps. Unfortunate no, theres no help at all, I put many post there as a Kelper and nothing....There is not help at all....Admins are too busy to respond questions....

You are right. Thanks for the tips.

@kalu said: Thank you for the ASAP response. I want to know where I can find this material: http://www.vray-materials.de/all_materials.php?q=Polycarbonate+panels&Submit=Search is a Polycarbonate Panel translucent white, and I can't convert that to vismat for sketchup any help?.... Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! PLEASE, any help with this material....Does anyone can step up and help pleaseeeeee!!!!

I guess you are using 1.48.66? There are some issue with that release. ASGVis are working on a patch. You might want to send them an email and report your issue incase they have not been reported before and can be tested if they are fixed in the batch. They appear to still be accepting beta testers for the patch. (p.s. it helps if you post your exact VfSU version when posting.)

Thanks! That really helped a lot, everything going smoothly now. Also your cleanup ruby works wonders!

You can increase the sun size to make it more blurry. But if you want fully overcast then get rid of the sun and just use GI. Or maybe use an HDRI lightprobe. HDRIs usually gives very blurred shadows.

Yes. But you might be able to sign up: http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=7679.0

I think if you were trying to create that optical banding-effect of the material, you'd need to get creative with a procedural and fresnel effects. As far as just the sheeting, I think the previous posts have got it right, and you could also consider a bump or displacement map.

@thomthom said: There is a patch coming out soon that should be sorting out the problems the initial release had. Cool.

Make a greyscale mask of where you want the reflection - white means 100% reflection, black means 0%. Add it to the Perpendicular slot of a Fresnel map in the reflection layer.

Thanks a lot for your help.

@thomthom said: Whether I render or use Sketchy output all depends on the stage of the projects. We find that rendering realistic images too early on in the project get people too caught up in details that are yet not determined nor important. I strongly agree.

Are these for 1.05.03 or new version or they work for both?

Cararra does nice volumetric lighting too. Bonsai3D's rederzone too.

@avg said: Thanks for getting back back to me. I think i got muddled up with my terminology but it should have been as you mentioned below 'Vray for Sketchup 6' not 'Vray Sketchup 6'. No - what I mean is that the version number comes in a numerical format, like 1.05.30 or 1.44.66. 'Vray for Sketchup 6' or 'Vray Sketchup 6' simply refer for what version of Sketchup the installer was made for - but is no indication of the version number of V-Ray.

@thomthom said: Bean of light going through smoke? Unfortunately there is no atmospheric system in VfSU - so you have to fake it.But if the beam of light is solid you could use an emissive material.You have an example reference photo of the effect you want to achieve? There's a video on youtube of Pink Floyd's concert... these guys are known for breathtaking lighting in their concerts.. here's the link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww7UecA3pac
