[Plugin] V-Ray Tools
-
@thomthom said:
What version of V-Ray do you use? (Exact version number please)
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
-
Dear ThomTHom .. this is such an awesome plugin.. was suggested by Gaieus ... it save s so much more than 3 - 5 seconds.. now ma files open way faster!! God Bless both of u!!!

- i've put "VRayToys folder" and VRayToys.rb in SU8 plugin folder "\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins"
- 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.

Mr thomtom,
Pls help me on my situation
This is basically what i did:
1.uncheck vray in the preference
2. put the vray toys rb n the folder into the PLUGIN folder
3. open SU 8 again, and load vray on demand. ( it loads in 40-60s)
4. vray tools appear and and i open vray render option.i input the image aspect ratio into vray tools and click on 'set spect ratio'.
AND NOTHINGS HAPPENS, i mean no factors r generated for me to input."Set the V-Ray Physical Camera's Zoom property to: x.xxx'
The value remain x.xxx. It wont works no matter how many times i click on it.
Is this not functioning on su8? if not, is there any other way to sync the cameras.
I'm using hdir and turned off physical camera and when i render it zoom out like crazy. which is why i resort to Vray toys. -
hmm... I'm trying this plugin for the first time... it sort of works, but when using 'Start V-ray', the toolbar doesn't show up. The editors, such as material editor etc, work fine when approached via the plugin/Vray menu, it's only the toolbar that doesn't show up.
It's been a while since this thread was active... is the plugin still up to date? I use the latest versions of SU and V-ray, which did not yet exist at time of creation of this plugin...
The auto do not load but only when I start it - is the only reason for me to use this plugin, since the other stuff can be achieved with Advanced Camera tools - correct me if I'm wrong...

That's odd - don't know why the toolbar doesn't show...

I have version 2 on my computer. Along with this plugin I also have a few other updates due for release after I release Vertex Tools 1.1 in a couple of weeks.

Hi!
Don´t know if this thread is alive anymore but... I´m having troubles using the plugin together with the "photo match" tools in SU. When I add the values suggested by the "Camera sync" plugin the render stills turn out weird (V-ray just render a small part of the actual view).
I´ve tried searching for a thread on this problem but with no luck.
Thanks alot for sharing your excellent plugins with us!

I believe SU version 8.0.16846 broke this plugin. I type in the aspect ratio on the box and I can see the grey frame on my viewport but the V-Ray zoom indicator doesn't change at all.
-
What was your previous version? Nothing in SketchUp 8.0.16846 should have affected the API it uses.
Any errors in the Ruby Console?
Also, what OS do you use? (Please add your info in your profile.)
Btw, I have version 2.0 ready to be release very shortly.
-
Nothing comes up on the Ruby console. No errors or other messages.
I'm on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate edition.
Despite of the not changing field, the aspect of the viewport seems to be changed. I can get the ratio correctly on the "Output" tab of V-Ray. I tried rendering with just the aspect ratio of the Output matching the SU's (left the Zoom field of V-Ray unaltered: 1.00 ) and it kinda worked as expected.
Maybe we don't need to mess with the zoom anymore? Can you confirm that, Thom?

Yes, with the newer VfS it's no longer needed to set the zoom. It'll all be clearer when I release version 2.0.
-
yes..thank you.. -
Version 2.0.0
- Removed the Sync Camera feature. V-Ray for SketchUp should now correctly match the SketchUp viewport.
- Added "Purge V-Ray Materials" for removing V-Ray data from materials.
- Added "Use as Material Override"
- Added "Reset Camera Aspect"
- Aspect Ratio and Export Safeframe is now merged into one dialog.
- Adjusting aspect ratio tried to compensate for viewport "jumping". (Not perfect in all cases)
- Added "Recreate Scene" to rebuild photomatch scenes as normal scenes.
- Bug fixes.
