          This is brilliant, I just closed SU thinking 'wouldn't it be great...', then clicked on the forum and read this [gives you a strange feeling, I tell you πŸ˜„ ]

          Needles to say, thank you very much! πŸ‘

          *edit

          Don't seem to get it working correctly [using SU 6 and V-Ray 1.5]
          Looks like the render is zoomed in too much [the dialog show 1,919 and nothing else 😞 ]

                Can you post screenshots of the result? One of the SU window and one of the V-Ray output? (and also your V-Ray Camera and Output flyout?)

                  And yes, I am toying around with a light manager. But I heard rumours that ASGVis is working on this them self with VfSU 2 so I'm not sure how much work I'll bother to put into that.

                  About the lightmanager, with ASGVis's current speed of updates that will at least take two more years, so go for it!!!

                  Would it be possible to add a render region tool? I really want that.

                    I'd really like that too. But that's not something that can be achieved with a ruby I'm afraid. Has to be implemented in the V-Ray plugin itself.

                      could i suggest taking out the file location slot for the export location, rather have just the export button, once you hit it a window will pop up like with sketchup's export 2d image option? i tried the existing one but everytime i put in a location it says failed to save, or overwrite existing file?

                      Good news! Turns out that I've been a complete numpty and completely missed two API methods that allow you to use the file dialog windows. I'll update the plugin as soon as I get time.

                        I would but the export of your plugin doesn't work on my PC. It asks if I want to overwrite the existing file [there is none πŸ˜• ] And then gives a fail error.

                        I'll think I'll just wait for the next release πŸ˜„

                          Thanks Thom! Really appreciated. I'll try the plugin (on SU7 VrfSUv1.00) any time soon and post back.

                            Though I don't have high hopes that the VfSU output will match the viewport. I think things where changed between the original and SR1.0 in the way VfSU matched the SU view. Also, I think that the zoom works opposite in SR1.x. In the original you had to use numbers less than 1 to zoom out, while in SR1.x you have to use numbers larger than 1 to zoom out. ...if I'm not completely mistaken, which is a distinct possibility... πŸ˜‰

                                          hallo everyone,

                                          i am having a problem with vray rendering a part of the view only(in two point perspective ) , while getting the right sketchup view by exporting 2d jpeg.
                                          the vray keeps rendering another view nomatter what i do, it renders somtimes above, and sometimes beneath the sketchup view.
                                          the output pic in vray is my monitor = sketchup view

                                          do these tools help with my problem ?
                                          thanks in advance πŸ˜„

                                            Don't think so. This plugin required the physical camera to sync the views.

                                            I think that you have to disable the physical camera in order to render 2 point perspectives. I've never done 2 point perspectives, but there's some threads on the topic over at ASGvis's forums.
