[Plugin] V-Ray Tools
-
Hey Thom,
I use your plugin since i upgraded VfSU.
It works beautifully with the vray outcome.
But the export image doesn't work for me at all.
After choosing files destination with the browser window, naming the file
-
hm... your height reports "infinity". What's your aspect ratio set to? How does that window look like?
-
this particular screenshot was undefined. but this message pops in all models that i've tried on.
i do set the aspect ratio and the plugin gives me the with info but still fails to export.... -
What's the filename you try to save to?
-
I've tried all sort of combination: numbers, letters and both together.
Too bad i can't export, exactly now i'm working on project that it would be a lot of help.btw is the file type line in browser should be empty?
-
It doesn't offer any list of filetypes.
You must remember to append the file type to the file name. For instance: Image01**.png** -
Ahh... now it works
Thanks Thom -
Good to hear it works now. I'll put it down on my to-do list for that plugin to verify the filetype. I think I did this myself once - and you know you need to change something when you are confused over something you made yourself.

I will request another VRAY toy...
as you may know, VRAY wont render properly textures that are skewed, etc... that is, it wont properly run most of the textures from models downloaded from 3D Warehouse.
Unless you make each texture a UNIQUE texture.
Problem is, the Unique Texture plugin only makes one unique texture at a time. You must select faces and manually do it. Now, if a model has hundreds of faces, it becomes quite a difficult task.
I wish there was a tool for making unique textures automatically. Also, check faces befoehand to analize if the texture in that face is skewed or not. Only makes it unique if its skewed/etc and wont show at VRAY renders.
-
I'm afraid that there's no API to make textures unique.
-
sorry, could you please speak english? I cant understand ancient sumerian
what do you mean "there is no API" to do that?
-
Sorry. What I mean is that we can only allow what SU allows us to control from Ruby. The API is the methods we can use to communicate with SU's model. Making textures unique is missing.

damn SU developers!
does that mean you cant even execute the Make Texture Unique command already implemented into GE? Maybe simulate a right click over the face and a left click over the command??
-
hmm... not sure.
maybe if you assigned a hotkey to it I could trigger that hotkey. -

nope!

Hey ThomThom,
I'm trying to use the vray toys-specifically the camera sync function, and I'm not having any luck getting the tools to show up anywhere in sketchup. I've dropped the folder into my plugins folder like I've done with my other plugins, but no luck. I'm running Sketchup 7.1.6087 (the latest, I think) and vRay 01.05.30, in case that matters.
Any idea what the problem could be? I think I have it saved in the right place, I restarted sketchup several times and I've restarted my comp just in case.
Thanks

Do you have one VRayToys folder and a vray_toys.rb file right under your plugins folder?
When loaded you should have an V-Ray Toys menu under Tools. And a V-Ray Tools toolbar.
-
here's my current fie location setup.
Does this look correct? I've checked under tools and plugins and I don't see it in SKUP.
-
No, you should not have that vray_toys-1_1_1 folder there.
The VRayToys folder and a vray_toys.rb should be placed directly under SU's plugins folder.
