Hi,
I had the same problem - on some surfaces in one SketchUp model the scaling of texture (in Materials Tray - Edit - setting different size of texture) was working, on some not (it was the same type of surfaces - wall). In SketchUp the size of texture was changing, but in the Vray render not. I don't know why but it helped to reverse the problematic faces and add the material with the texture again. Then it worked. 😄
If someone have the same problem, I hope this will also help him. 😄

why am i not getting the horizon of ground and sky like the second picture in the start post. do i have to model the ground also ? is a ground modeled in this pic (the one from tutorial)?

hi dylan! the images go to their coresponding diffuse, bump or displacement maps in the material editor. hope this helps as i'm also exploring vray myself 😉

Make sure you have the Sketchup sun on and make sure all your light have shadows enabled. Can you post a screenshot for us to look at? Either that or post the file and I can take a look at it.

go to the settings of vray at the environment and select the GI and background and at the indirect ilumination select the gi

Is there i guide on the internet, showing how do to realistic grass in v-ray? Using displacement or Bump mapping?

Thanks

I want that converter ,too!!! 😒

Nice work pfund.

Great settings for the vray.

I just hope I can make work like yours soon.

Can you tell me how you set up your vray settings?

Thanks

in asgvis.com are many setting or .visop and try to use those.... and also use hdri setting for enviroment & background... download the vray manual and read what i am telling u! hdri option is a very usefull and realistic for exteriors interiors, day and night... try it! 👍

you can try adobe affter effects
simple and fast

That's simply not true (in my opinion).

at asgvis.com there are many .visop (render options) and .vismat (vray materials) and download all of them, try to download the vray manual (pdf) and vray manual scenes (skp files to practices).... it is easy and funny! 😎

Ok, the problem is, that VRay 6.0 won't run with my Vista 😞

@markojovanovic said:

How do u make "sun size" increase? Does anyone have jpg or other image (ptcs) format sample of set up settings for proper exterior shadows scene? I would appreciate the same for interior scene also...THNX

MARKO

You change the sun size from the Sky map in the GI Environment setting.

Really nice work!

Scott

ok i solved the problem

RC1 version is a crap 😕 , with 1.00 v. of v-ray it works , thx god , 😍

do not use RC1 !!! its sh#@^&

download a material studio at asgvis.com to view the material... or in sk go to the material editor or texture editor and preview the material... how to link? well create a new material by importing a new material and find the place u have in the computer! try that 👍

it doesnt work , downloading tutorial wont help there is nothin about it for RC1 version...

Thanks Lewis,

Though I can't believe they've not fixed the "disappearing groups", "incorrect environment from SU shadow settings" and "VRay materials getting 'stuck' to SU geometry even though the material's been changed in SU" bugs. They're pretty damn serious- the disappearing groups and shadows ones are bad enough to put demo users off. Sure they all have workarounds, but they should have been picked up early in the beta stage IMO.

Oh well, it's still one of the best and definitely the fastest renderer out there and a very stable prog (Vue d'Esprit users will know how novel the latter concept is!).

Guys,
I have the same problem.

I can't understand how I can use .vismat files.

I explain my steps and my problem:

i built a wall i downloaded a material from the site called "brick-wall_red" ( a .zip file where there are 2 .png files and 1 .vismat file.) i create a new material in sketchup meterial editor using one of these .png (one of these shows the red brick and the other grey brick and i chose the first one). so from the zipped folder i choose one.png file. i set everything in terms of scale and proportion and it is fine.the name of the new material is "brick red" right click and i linked the material in vray. now in vray editor i have "linked_brick red" now on in bump i link the other .png
8.i have the material "brick-wall_red"

i don't think it is the best way.
it is too weird.

I have read also that when you link the material in vray material editor (my step 6) then right click on the linked material, "import" and there you can put the .vismat file.
I have tried but I see everything grey.

any idea to help me??

thank you very much.

stef.
