      here's a vray manual i downloaded. can anyone recommend a much more useful vray manual that i can download? i tried the part where you use a rectangular light (page 15 onwards).. and all i get is black plane. when i checked here at sketchucation some issues other users had about the rectangular light, ive figured that in order to have a rectangular light lit up, its multiplier should be 300, the manual says you can adjust it from 1-4 and get a "light" effect. and all i had was a black plane. so from there, i've had a doubt on using this manual if it really is the real thing. im really eager to learn how to render properly here at vray for sketchup. my sketchup version is 7 and my vray version is for skp6. that's compatible right?

        here's the manual.. but then again.. i think its me that can't keep up with what it says on the rectangular light part. can anyone with the same manual teach me how to properly adjust a rectangular light?

          The black rectangle that you see, it's the back of the light. Try to rotate it. Or you can make it double-sided. About the multiplier, that depends basically of the physical camera. First disable it, make your scene to look right(illumination) and then, turn on physical camera, and start increasing the multiplier of the light, until you get the same effect. That should give you an idea about how much you have to push the multiplier when you have physical camera on.
          Good luck!

            What V-Ray for Sketchup do you have? The original - or one of the service packs?

            Have you downloaded the manual for the version you have?

              now i get it! is that rectangle light and emmisive layer on materials has the same effect on physical camera? you have to enter and enter numbers on the multiplier until you make it glow? thanks!! that was helpful! πŸ‘
