Thanks for getting back back to me. I think i got muddled up with my terminology but it should have been as you mentioned below 'Vray for Sketchup 6' not 'Vray Sketchup 6'.

Therefore i'm sure and hope that i have been using the correct Vray which i sure i am.

I'm sure you tell i'm a novice

Hi

I've been using sketchup for a little while to produce some architectural models. I am using sketchup 6 along with Vray for sketchup 6. I have now just completed going through the vray for sketchup manual by ASGVIS along with using the neccessary scenes and am still finding my feet a litle and would appreciate help.

I have added a brick texture to my model and 'texture mapping' tutorial from the above mentioned manual and when produced with the final render i cant but notice that the brickwork to me looks quite pale on both the images produced, but it could just be me being paranoid. I wold be grateful for your view on it. (i know i can add bump and displacement but that didnt seem to make a difference in terms of it appearing pale).

Secondly and probably more importantly can anybody point me in the direction of Vismat materials for Vray sketchup 6. I know that Vismat materials have been released and distributed but they all seem to be geared towards Vray sketchup 7 which when i import into Vray sketchup 6 i get the error message 'Invalid ASGvis material file' (altough a rare few do work).

Much appreciated if anybody can help me out thanks.
