      First of all, I need to apologize if I make some stupid obvious mistake, I'm fairly new to whole 3D and rendering thing. I'm using the newest version of V-Ray for Sketchup (demo).

      I've set up an interior scene, fiddled with some materials and settings, and I've come up with the result I'm currently pleased with. In this render the GI is set to 2, physical camera is turned on, shutter speed set to 1/30, f to 8, ISO to 400.

      Next thing I wanted to do is to set up depth of field to blur the chair a bit and to focus on the part of the room where the TV is. So, I turned on DOF and overridden the focal distance to 120 (about 3m?). I haven't touched anything else. The problem is that I get a completely white render, not burned, totally white. Like a blank sheet of paper.

      What am I doing wrong?

        Sounds burned - extremely burned.

        Btw - what VfSU version do you have?
