      I understand its possible to make/bake light maps in Vray for 3dmax
      is the same possible in the current Sketchup version of Vray?

        are you talking like this? not direct on the light, but more or on a box..but if you put the map on the light i dont think so.

          Lightmaps are required if one is going to make an animated presentation. They are used primarily in programs such a Lumion, Unity3d, and the CryEngine. These animation programs can't create Lightmaps. The host program that created the geometry has to be able to make these Lightmaps.

              I found this thread on baking lightmaps in Vray for use in Unity 3D
              http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/97877-Baking-lightmaps-with-Vray-and-3D-Studio-Max-a-tentative-guide

              @valerostudio, does V-ray for SketchUp not have any geometry export ability?

                You can export geometry from SketchUp. OBJ and 3DS formats seem to be the preferred. I am sure there are plenty of programs that can do baking. V-Ray in SketchUp is not one of them though.
