        that's IMO either Ambient Occlusion in render settings or a dirt pass in the material.

        I'm using SketchUp 2017, V-Ray 3.4

            As eidam655, did you put a dirt diffuse on your material ?

              Reduce your amount. Defaults are 0,8

                well that works. 😄 the defaults are OK. do you people use defaults for ambient occlusion.?? i actually needed very sharp lines of edges

                  Some times I reduce the amount to 0.4 or 0.6 - depending on model. Rarely need to increase it.

                  Might adjust the radius as well on occasion.
