[Plugin] V-Ray Tools
-
Agreed, it is slow to load and loading on demand is useful. Do you find that the time it takes V-Ray to load (either by demand or not) can vary based on the complexity of the SKP file being opened? Just wondering if seeing one minute or longer on some files for V-Ray to load is normal. (Also, I do not remember as much as a delay on earlier versions...)
-
Yes, bigger/more complex files load slower. And I get the feeling that if you open a model from an older VfSU version it adds even more load time. (Though this is a one time thing because it'd updating the project.)

Awesome Plugin!!

ThomThom,
First of all, thank you for all your hard work on plugins. Really great stuff.
I'm having trouble with V-Ray Toys. I have SU8, with the latest VfSU 1.48xxx. I did the following:
- Unchecked Vray from preferences.
- Closed SU
- Copied Vray toys into plugin folder.
- Opened SU
- Used Vray drop down to start VRay.
However there is no Vray Toys tool bar anywhere. Also, when I close SU I get a bugsplat. Any ideas?
I'm really just interested in the camer sync option right now. Is there a way to use that ruby only? Or some way to manually sync the cameras.
Cheers,
Nathan -

The V-Ray Toys toolbar should be available before loading V-Ray. From the View > Toolbar menu.
Did you mean the V-Ray for SketchUp toolbar? (if so - do you get errors when you try to start V-Ray?)@focpt said:

Never experienced this. You don't get this without V-Ray Toys?
-
There has been some issues reported when users don't have admin rights. Or full access rights to SU's folder. Could very well be it.
Do you see a Compatibility Files button when you browse the Plugins folder? -

Ahhh, don't know why I didn't check the view>toolbar menu... it was late. I'll try again tonight.
No I don't. Do I need to change permissions on my programs>google>su folder? When I copy paste plugins it asks for permissions (windows vista).
Thanks

I was wondering if it would be possible to change this plugin to control the automatic start of any other plugins such as the 1001 bit tools, or some other little tools that we don't use often. That would make the start Sketchup faster. So by default, would start with the Sketchup few essential plugins.

If I wanted to remove V-Ray Toys...
how do I get about doing that in a way that vray will load automatically? After removing the vray toys files, vray still won't load on sketchup startup. I remember you once wrote that vray toys changes one of the file names in order to prevent vray from loading... which file was it? -

I believe it is 1.49.01
-
This plugin doesn't rename any files for that version. You re-enable V-Ray from the Window > Preferences > Extension list.

Hi Guys,
I have tried the Camera Sync. Toy on Vray for SKP 6 & 8 and didn't work? Could you please let me know how to install it? I took the 2 .rb files and copied them in the plugins file in SKP! Am i doing some thing wrong? Please let me know.
Txs -
Two rb files?
Are you preserving the folder stucture in the zip file. sounds like you're not...v
-
nice Thom, thanks alot
-
Would it possible that someday this Plugin (Camera Sync-Vray Toys) can work to other Render Software like podium?
-
hmm.. I'm not a Podium user. Don't know how it operates...
-
Oo, I see,
Just wondering that we can use this nice plugin for any other Rendering Software, because many rendering software have the same problem with rendering output view, like VRay
-

- i open the SU8, turn off the VRay toolbar and i quit SU8
- i open the SU8 again (this way is working when i'm still SU7) and then nothing happen...
Did you just close the toolbar, or did you disable VfSU from Window > Preferences > Extensions ?
You need to do the latter.yes, I've done both ways...
Finally, I tried to remove the VRayToys first, then put it back...
Weird, VRayToys can work again like it should
But, when i try to Load VRay, it takes 15-20 minute to Appear
Is there something i done wrong? please help...I'm having the same problem...TT does tat means its not working for SU 8???? NOooooooooo......PLS HELP ME.
