I downloaded when the latest version was newly released.. ..maybe in september 2008... I have the readme in my plugins directory i.e. \Plugins\VRayForSketchUp .. the file name is vfs_readme... also I located the setup file ... it's named as VfS7_01.05.30.exe
And.. when i check the version by right clicking>properties of my setup file this is what it shows.....
But still I can't figure out... why is version 1.48.66 the latest one??

Where did it say 1.5? The download page: http://software.asgvis.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=182&Itemid=480
that's weird 'cause when i downloaded it.. and opened the readme file ... it specified the version as sr 1.5... i was amazed to see the above link... and one more thing... i have zilch knowledge about hdri environment... when i went to the suggested links.. there were a lot of hdris... so how can i use HDRIS and how do i know that a particular HDRI will fulfil my need??,.... also I'm an architecture student... so does anyone know of any link that gives architecture based tutorials in vray for sketchup.... spot3d is for animators.. i've already checked that out... also the vray for su manual is a general info guide...
When I downloaded vray... it specifed the version as SR 1.5 and i checked the bitmaps and bump maps. All are present where i put the vismat.. still the problem occurs.. the mozarella cheese problem is still there... Regarding the version issues.. what I think that on the ASGVIS website there were only two releases of vray for sketchup... One box had VRay for SketchUp 6 written on it.. and their recent product is VRay for SketchUp 7...
and I'd like to ask one more question..
Often on rendering with vray .. the built environment looks like toyland or real life 3d model...like made with plastics and ivory sheets... with wallpapers pasted on them... Even if the sky is there it looks artificial painting background... any suggestions??

- Are there compatibility issues for older vismat files... because i downloaded 2 materials from asgvis website and they show up as grey when i render them... also in material editor preview they show up as grey...
You must update the file location of the bitmap textures used by the .vizmat. They are most likely pointing to the location they where at on the computer of whom created it - which will be incorrect on your computer.
i have the files in place... in fact i'm directly importing the vismat using the import options.. all the bump maps and jpegs in place.. still no success

- In the above picture the brick texture is coming out as very dense.. how do i fix this??
Same as #5 - either adjust the Width and Height in SU's material editor - or right click on a face with that material and choose
Texture -> Positionand use that tool to adjust the texture.
if i'm not able to see the texture in sketchup screen... i.e. it shows up as grey.. how do i adjust it man?? and i have the latest version of vray... it still shows mozarella colour for white faces..
I'm using Google SketchUp Pro 7.1 and ASGVIS Vray for sketchup version 1.5.3 I have following queries about vray
In one setting when you turn on the gi skylight... the omni light and rectangular lights don't work.. Like if I want to render an interior scene with lights on... and sunlight is also showin' up from outside.. what should i do..??
Are there compatibility issues for older vismat files... because i downloaded 2 materials from asgvis website and they show up as grey when i render them... also in material editor preview they show up as grey...
I rendered a project with default settings. .. My file had contours but they didn't rendered as expected.. .vray rendered them as triangular network
In older versions... on clicking a face... it showed an option vray > apply material... now in version 1.5.3 where did it go??
some vismats on applying don't show up while workin' in sketchup.. that is they show as grey.. but on rendering they're fine... I have to keep note of how the final render will look like when workin' in sketchup... every time i have to hit the render button to check the preview of my building... is there a way to fix this?? For example here i'm using a brick vismat which shows up as grey in sketchup
but in final render it shows up fine...
My cube had all other surfaces white... but they get an off white colour... like mozarella cheese... what should i do??
In the above picture the brick texture is coming out as very dense.. how do i fix this??

I have this dell computer in my college lab. on workin' with sketchup on it... sketchup doesn't recognise faces as expected .... i've installed its graphic drivers... but the problem persists... I'm using sketchup pro 7.1 on it....I've attached a video of this problem... I've used thomthom selection toys so that it shows that which faces are highlighted when i hover my cursor on one.....Every dell model in this lab that is the optiplex one has this problem....
But this happens while editing a group only... loose geometry behaves fine...
