      Hi,

      you posted a screenshot from your sketchup model. Can you take a render using vray and show it to us? That way we can see what the problem is.

          um, you should have a separate window that shows the rendering. Your image looks like a screenshot of your sketchup window πŸ˜•
          Hate to ask, but did you click on the blue "R" button (Start Render) in the vray toolbar?

              no worries. Just when it's asked to post a render, it's generally helpful to post the render. Maybe some information about your lighting and your camera settings too. I would guess your lighting level might be too low compared to your GI illumination.

                  Have you tried increasing the intensity of your lighting? Hard to help without knowing what you are trying to do. What lights are you adding to your scene?

                      you can turn down the sun intensity setting. You'll find it in the environment tab when you click on the "M" next to GI. You could use a setting like 0.05
                      Then, you can reduce the camera speed to something like 30 or however low you need to get the scene bright again. Those are some quick tips, another option is to adjust your lights intensity much higher.

                          Yes, watch the tutorials. There's a sticky thread with links here

                            i thought forums are for helping other , not for bragging and showing you know stuff. this is example how nobody can help me. thats just sad people. i make money off making architecture and i wanted to improve my skills and learn new stuff. the tutorials dont always work !

                              Are you saying Andy hasn't been helping you? I don't see him dismissing any of your questions, nor has he been flaunting his own work.
                              Learning to render isn't done in a second. It takes time and you where on the right track, one thing at a time. But telling people who are replying to your questions that they aren't good enough because you're not getting the results you want fast enough is not any way to make friends. Skills takes time. Take it easy and be nice to the people who're nice to you.

                                My apologies if my answer was a little short. I learned a lot from the tutorials, and if you take the time, they can answer a lot of your basic questions much better than I can.

                                  one of the best thing to learn is read the manual first,
                                  second do it step by step.. i have written lots of tutorial about definitive lightings so read them, as andy said it will answer most of your questions. my tutorials are Here.. http://www.sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.com/p/free-hdri.html

                                  you can also watch lots of youtube videos.

                                  i am doing also basic tutorial series for vray sketchup. So if you are beginner this will be a great help/ I have finished the first part of my segment and will plan to do more. http://www.sketchupvrayresources.blogspot.com/2012/02/basic-vray-sketchup-tutorial-series-1.html

                                  Yeah I dont see anything that andy is bragging at all. He is very helpful. Perhaps cultural differences again.. 😳

                                  visit my blog: http://www.nomeradona.blogspot.com

                                    Andy, I don't think you have any reason to apologize,because you are one of the most helpful person around.
                                    DOMI, it's hard for people to give you the right answer and right away. Usually, beginners have questions from five to five minutes, and it's not bad, because it shows that you want to learn. Still, a beginner should read the manual first, then follow some tutorials,
                                    and then hit the forum. In deed not all the people will help you, because people work, don't have an answer, or just don't want to answer.
                                    So, the conclusion is to follow some tutorials about exterior rendering in this particular case of yours, visit Nomeradona's blog and bookmark them, search on youtube tutorials shared by ASGVIS or ChaosGroup .
                                    And by the way, here you will get help, but not with this attitude.
                                    Good Luck,
                                    Stefan
