        V-Ray for SketchUp currently runs inside the SketchUp process, which is 32bit, which means you're limited to 2-4GB depending if you're running SU8M1 ($GB) or older (2GB).

            Even my computer bogs down when using too many 3D trees, and I have 24Gigs of ram.
            So I use as many 2d trees as possible.
            I render with Podium that comes with a lot of it's own 2d trees and shrubs.
            Otherwise I use kerkythea.

            24gigs of ram. Wow. I remember the days not so long ago when my ram was 24mb and
            that was pimp ! ๐Ÿ˜„

              and also thank for your help in the google forum,the ghost one does helps me to move quicker.

              @ Brodie :
              I will try to suggest my boss to upgrade the pc where I'm working =P
              the problem is that my boss wants many big trees with lot of leaves around the buildings. and yeah it had crashed lot of time while rendering.

              I will try to see the other renderers that you have suggested.

              Thanks. ๐Ÿ˜„

              @ fuzzion :

              the project on which I'm working is a monastery with parkings and some buildings. I also have to add some other pine trees that surround the place.
              I think i will have to use another renderer as suggested Brodie.

              @ error 404:

              woah very nice one error404 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
              I will ask my boss to upgrade my pc or else I will try to use maxwell.
              Is it ok to use btw?

                Regarding Maxwell, I just wrote a lengthy bit about it, and some other render options, here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=34469&view=unread&sid=1dda3b06dbac7065fb8a42043dc492fa#unread

                  You may find it quicker to photoshop vegetation into the render afterwards in post, rather than spending large amounts of render time rendering environment vegetation that'll have much more polys than the actual building.

                    โ“ Can someone tell me how long it takes to photoshop-in vegetation and how long it takes one to learn photoshop to the extent that you could do stuff like that? Im itching to try photoshop but dont have a lot of time.

                      Well, it's hard to say how fast anyone will learn Photoshop but I use it a lot to incorporate both people, trees and more. There is lots of ready to use cutout trees availble and after a while you'll want to photograph your own and make your custom library of images. Be sure to learn how to color adjust the images so they match the lighting of the render.
                      Here is a good place to start: http://vyonyx.com/category/tuts/
                      Great tutorials and also some trees and people for download.
                      Another thing. If you're serious about Photoshop you should get yourself a wacom pen. Makes life soo much easier in Photoshop.

                        Long time ago, about 2 years, I bought a Wacom tablet for Sketchup after watching Ironman, but
                        I realised the mouse was so much better ,plus i needed the money at university for Booze and smokes so i sold it. Should
                        have kept it lol
