thanks I tried that and it works But the older method was way easier, dont know why they changed it.

Fixed the wall thickness issue! Please see the post on the main thread:

@mudo said: You can try this, it's a start to you make some changes and get the results you want, hope it's help. Thanks Brother for your help. Your recommendation solves the problem.But I am still could not understand why vray gives 2 different type of output.Why GPU accelerated rendering is different than CPU. Sorry for the late reply. Cheers.

Animator plugin is recently updated and working with Vray, maybe you should give it a try?

As you can see from these topics, you are not alone: Exporting Material Textures From 3D Warehouse Models and Some questions about texture path. Apart from advices in those topics, i suggest you to do these: 1- Right click a material and choose 'add to model' (Under your 'Default Tray'). 2- You'll notice in your V-ray Asset editor, there is a new material added with similar name and properly previewed. This new material will work in your renders. (You'll also notice that diffuse path still seems broken but who cares ) 3- Apply your new materials Note: to replace new material with old ones in the scene; left click & right click to old material from Asset Editor and choose "Select Objects in Scene". Then left click & right click to your new material and choose "Apply Material to Selection". You might still need some manual adjustments because that author didn't apply materials well enough.

@kennedyaz said: I'm just wondering if I'm saving as image sequence, can I control the format of the frames? I'm rendering with V-ray 5 on Sketchup 2020 and the result I'm getting is in .png and our preferred format is jpg. You cannot.... What is the problem to have PNG images?

Hi, As far as i know such functionality is not avaiable yet. Check this response. There a Vray staff tells: @unknownuser said: Currently, batch rendering multiple scenes is done using the same render setup. It is not possible to use individual camera settings, including DoF, for each scene. Our developers are aware of this limitation and are looking into possible solutions for it as well as Batch render functionality enhancements.

which driver version and which GPU?

post an image i think. Try to add more light source to light your scene.

Did you contact Vray support? Surely your license covers installation support.

Are you using GPU acceleration and do you have an AMD graphics card? If so it's not going to work as stated in here: @unknownuser said: Interactive GPU OpenCL rendering mode is currently not supported. If you have NVIDIA, try updating your graphics card driver and see if it helps. (Or disable GPU acceleration) If you take this scene directly from Vray 2, it might be problematic sometimes. Check this article: Migrating from Previous Versions.

@brooklynia373 said: I'm still wondering how to handle pre-gamma-corrected textures from the internet... I think all 8bit images (.jpg) are already 'gamma corrected' which means 2.2 gamma is already applied. I believe that's the reason why we define 'Input gamma' 2.2, so that Vray understands it (and it's by default in Vray 3). And if you have a 16bit or 32bit image (.tif or .exr), i think Sketchup Vray understands it automatically, so either way there's no need to worry. This pdf document explains it very well. Upgrade to Vray 3.4 and lean back (Not to mention it's significantly faster and has more features...)

You should save your render settings as preset so that you can load it afterwards. (I think it's at the bottom of the V-ray window)

Are you using GPU acceleration? If so try disabling it, if not try using that. (Also make sure graphics card drivers up to date) Can you also share your render settings?

Are you using 'emissive material' for the ceiling lambs? If so, don't try to lit the whole room with it, try using other suitable light types to lit (in combination with emissive if you wish).
