just open your render option panel, browse for the vray rt tab check "enabled" and then switch the rendering mode from cpu to cuda.. then start vray rt..

Thank for the help . I see GPU cuda and GPU opencl whats the difference witch one is faster ?

Hello, can anyone tell how to configure my Sketchup Vray to work on GPU rather than on CPU, because i run a strong GPU 980ti Nvidia and i want to get enough from it.

andysvision,

What you're seeing is not SketchUp native output, but output from SketchUp through a third party rendering application.

Also take a look at Indigo Renderer, a very capable rendering application that interfaces with a number of applications, SketchUp as well.

I see Indigo render as a plugin? Witch would be the best way to use it as Plug in or standalone soft?

Indigo is an external renderer (CPU / GPU, unbiased) with plugins to various software (SketchUp, Blender, Revit, Cinema4D, 3DS Max, Maya, iClone and a few others which aren't officially supported).

The software can be tweaked and settings refined quite a lot, but for the most part functions quite easily / well enough through the plugins. There are two versions, the "full" version (Indigo Renderer) and a "cut-down" version (Indigo RT), obviously at different price points and capabilities.

Depending on your requirements / usage you should be able to get quite far with the RT version, once you feel you need to upgrade you have the option to do so at a reduced rate.

There are renderfarms that support the renderer if you require, additional render node licences also available and they have an online library of preset materials (that you can customise if you choose) for your convenience.

so based on you experience where would you put it in relation to difficulty in learning between these other softwares:

3ds Max, Unreal Engine, Cinema4D?

You can use them with any renderer that supports displacement. This has nothing to do with sketchup at all and displacement is a common feature since many years now.
The "new" thing about these "Real Displacement" textures is that they are based on photo scanned (photogrammetric) 3D data. There are many similar products (models and textures) coming out these days since the programs (Agisoft Photoscan, Reality Capture, Pix4D, Acute3D, etc.) and the PC-hardware have evolved to a point where basically everyone can produce these scans.

Other sources would be:
Quixels Megascans https://megascans.se/
Surface Mimic http://www.surfacemimic.com/
Or even textures.com has now 3D-scanned textures http://www.textures.com/browse/3d-scans/114548

Thank you all for your accurate answers! So please can you tell me than witch would be the best combo with my sketchup (produce 3d) than export to another program for the final details (witch program?) ? If you know what i mean?
Also witch is the best easiest to work with this RT textures?

Hello everybody!

Yesterday i discovered this super realistic textures witch blow my mind, but in their site i dont see any tutorial how to use on Sketchup (Vray?), if anyone have ever tried them please consider to share a skp model with all the settings adjusted for a single material so i can understand the way its done or send me any tutorial please.
I would really appreciate it. The textures are called "Real Displacement Textures" and there you can download a free set they give. You can find at this address:

Thank you!

I have another question how to export a scene or component from LumenRt to other engines? Or any .lrt to .skp, .3ds, .obj etc converter there?

Thank you!

You should contact the folks who supply LumenRT or at least look at their documentation.

What about copying between two different LumenRt scenes? Iwant to copy an object from a scene to a scene? Do you know that bro?

@dave r said:

Did you try uninstalling LumenRT and then reinstalling it? You should probably shut the computer down and restart it between uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Hello i will try this, and it will propabily work.
