Also by the looks of your Frame Buffer it's zoomed in 800% which is why its so blurry. If you click on your Frame Buffer window and use the scroll wheel to zoom back out to 100% is it still blurry?

probably need to go back to default settings and update camera, environment, etc. settings. There may be a bug that once you select other than RT CPU, the vray settings get messed up.

the problem can be by some things: improper geometry in one or more of your components, improper materials or the resolution and your configuration. improper geometry - Sometimes vray can't triangulate the surface. Check your geometry with solid ispector, solid solver or manually. Materials - Look your vray progress window. In the progress you will see which materials load fast, which slow, other don't load. For those that load slow, you can reduct the resolution and dpi of textures (both of diffuse, bump and displacement). For materials that vray freeze trying loading them, you must change them. It's difficult to find which material freeze exacte, because vray show you only treated materials, so you leave loaded materials and try to repair the others. The resolution can be a problem too. With my Radeon HD6850 and phoenom II x4, I have a problem last two months. There had a windows update probably and I have no updated catalyst, because AMD do not support catalyst any more. So the maximum of resolution of exterior render of complicated models its 1024x768 for me.

Thanks for all your advises. I decided to add photo outside the window, but it made my render look really dark, so I've changed the setting of the camera to: F-numer 8 Film speed 320 Shutter speed 30 There are some new stuff on the model, but in general it is the same model as in the first post. @rspierenburg: Firstly I don't take your advises personally, they were really helpful I've change all the whites and used different shades for wall panels, furniture and paint. You were right, it looks so much better Downloaded and used in the model, although I don't see much difference. Maybe my settings are incorrect? I've added some bumps etc. Changed to 65 @tparks It is on. Amount 0.6 Subdivs 12 Radius 30 - although I'm not sure if is it optimal. Render looks so much better now, but the shutters are overexposed. Environment is 1,0 for GI. Or maybe the fault is somewhere else? [image: YFJC_12.jpg]

@filipebonito said: hello, i would like to know if there is a way to save the camera focus point for each scene so when render multiple scenes using depth of field, each frame has the correct focus point? i tried to update each scene with different focus points, in RT render the focus points are saved, but when i use the final render, the focus points don't move... what can i do? thanks filipe bonito Alas, no. Camera settings do not change between scenes. I think that is a highly requested feature for the next version. currently you need to change it manually between renders.

Try out a shadow catcher method: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=322%26amp;t=54999 http://charlottesvillearchitecturalrendering.com/?p=494

That seeemed to do the trick ! thanks a lot for the help !

Yes, basically Vray doesn't know how big to make your texture or in what direction to lay it because it uses SketchUp textures to determine that. And since a color has neither direction nor size it gets all messed up.

that's weird, not sure what it could be. Did you try contacting support? Are you on any kind of network? If wireless - there may be some connection problems. Sorry no, GPU can't be used to help speed up the render. Only thing that can help speed things up with vfs 2.0 is distributed rendering on multiple machines.

I think you just need to keep reducing the multiplier on the emmissive layer. It also helps to change the emmissive color to lower saturation and make it a darker value.

Anyone with the same problem?

@valerostudio said: Just tested a simple cube using RT with a Titan X GPU and it doesn't work. Like Andy said, for now use CPU and if you access to DR nodes, use them as well. yes, thanks

This is a UV mapping error. Add a UV Map to your Diffuse layer.

You can re-link the texture either in the SU material editor or the vray one, either will work. The specific path will depend on where the texture file was originally.

Cool birds' song during the cool tutorial video!

I'm new to sketchup and Vray so not really sure but you can try reading this: http://www.vray.com/vray_for_sketchup/manual/choosing_different_render_engines.shtml It could be something with the iraddiance map settings "When Min Rate and Max Rate are too low, "leaking light" happens even if the objects are joined together"..you will find where they talk about this somewhere in the middle

So I pulled the Trigger and bought Thea and I must say I am liking the interface and stability....Just need to learn the UI on the Studio Part and find the best driver for my Dual GTX 780. Thea in SU is very easy to use. Thanks again for the advice...!
