its so Simple.
1.Select the proxy in model
2. Right click & select Reload from the new window
3. after click on reload you must have to select the original skp file of that element & click ok.
4. Boooommmm your proxy is replaced as a original model.

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS LOST

I have the same problem... I'm working on vray 2.0 for sketchup 2014 and it runs fine... I guess the problem is vray 2.0 for 2015 version itself, default light in vfs2 2014 is working

Hello,

on Chaos web site. New materials are not vismat but vrmat.

Anything you download from the web like this is going to have issues. Look at the car paint materials on the Chaos site.

I have been having the exact same problem, and posted my problem as well. But nobody has replied yet. It's quite frustrating getting no help at all.

Nice illustration of chutzpah 😄

Great course on the subject : http://masteringcgi.com.au/course/mastering-vray/
(For Vray 3Dsmax, but everything applies to Vray Sketchup)

Thanks 😛

you can increase your glossy reflections subdivisions in your material. Default is 8, you might use something like 32
Also perhaps increase your light source subdivisions. Either way, make sure you are getting enough samples so the reflections get cleaner.

Your reseller should be able to provide you a download link. Otherwise contact Chaos.

If you have a license, then you should have access to the Chaos website which has all the vismat files for download or you can also install the Express Tools from your reseller that provided you license. If you are using a not-so-legal copy, then BUY A LICENSE!

Hi there !
I had the same problem not long ago and I applied the following solution :
1-when you download a vismat, you are provided with a folder containing several files.
Usually the vismat itself, a bump file, a displacement file, AND a diffuse file.
2-When your vismat is imported, select it with the eyedropper tool of the Material window in sketchup. Then in the Vray material Editor, in the "diffuse" section, click on the blue M between "color" and "transparency".
3-In the Vray texture Editor, select TexBitmap in the list right Under the preview window.
4-At the top of the window you're in, fill the "file" field by browsing and selecting the diffuse file that came with your downloaded vismat folder. It is a jpeg that usually has either a D or a "Diffuse" in its name.If it's already selected before browsing, act as if it was not, and select it + ok.
5-Click ok and look at your material in your model now.
Now it appears as such, and not as a plain meaningless color.
Note that now, you can scale it like any sketchup material in the Material window of sketchup.
From a beginner to another, my solution might not be so academic, but it worked for me. If it does for you, I'll be glad, since very simple questions for beginners generate very few interrest/answer in this forum. Unfortunately.
B good and tell me about it.
😄

Amazing! Thank you very much.

Hello. I am a beginner, so please be indulgent if my answer lacks pertinence. I have met the same issue lately. I had to discover myself how to resolve it since in here, it seems the simpler and more basic the question, the rarer the answer. I respect that, as it reminds me Spinoza's "narcissism of small differences" concept. (damn, who the heck do I think I am ?!)

Try this as a temporary, yet could work solution:

select your material in the Vray material editor
click on the blue M in the "Diffuse" area
make sure the file you have selected in top is the one that came with your vismat. If not, browse and select it.(has a _d, or diff at end)
type OK to come back to the Vray material editor window.

By this time, you should notice that your material appears visually as such in your model.
Select it and scale it in the material window of sketchup.

Now, if you find how to make the pattern to start from a precise point (usefull for a glass blocks door for instance) please let me know.

Bon courage.

That's because you're using an outdated beta of V-Ray for Sketchup that shouldn't even work anymore. I recommend you upgrade to the V-Ray 2.0 Demo or purchase a full license through one of our many reputable re-sellers: http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/purchase.html?pID=10.

Version of SketchUp? Version of V-Ray.

Sounds like you crashed due to memory. I can't stress how important is to upgrade to 2015 64 bit and the latest version of V-Ray 2.0

Anything else is a waste of your time in my honest opinion.

You need to add a map to your diffuse layer so that V-Ray can get the UVW information to apply the material properly.

Oh I'm using sketchup 2015 on windows.

Ok, thanks I changed the image sampler from adaptative dmc to fixed rate and it works.

Don't know what went wrong, decided to reinstall both sketchup and v-ray. its working fine now.
