thanks. will try again and see how it goes.

can anyone confirm if the beta has conflicts with other plugins? i keep getting errors loading the plugin. got frustrated so i uninstalled it.

i can't seem to find the help file. is it because i installed it in sketchup 2016? but the plugin is working properly. anyway, when i edited the material preset plastic 1 using brdf properties, the current applied material's colors in the model did not retain its property but instead used the color of the edited preset material. any help would be greatly appreciated.

great plugin! would it be possible to edit the material wizard to make use of brdf mats as default in editing already placed materials?

Hi my friends, i've a question for you.. i'm a noob.. and i can't understand why have theese artifacts in my render.

The texture over the wall is only one.. but how you can see isn't uniform.. and.. the reflection over the car give some problem.

i use standard vray options for external, MAXIMUM LEVEL.. so.. for hq image..

but nothing change..

thanks my friends!!

try checking sub-pixel mapping in the color mapping rollout. it usually does the trick for me.

hey guys , had this similar problem and had not found solution. mine looks even worse..I posted this somewhere in this site but none was able to explain. Now Im thinking to shift rendering to another software because of this issue. Can anyone help please.

i think i found a solution for this as i have also experienced this with close up shots. you have to uncheck "use light cache for glossy rays" in the light cache rollout. i hope that this tip would help you out.

great renders! are those 3d warehouse trees? where did you get them?

here you go

(www.box.net)

12 panel each one is a A1 sheet.So the presentation was quite a huge board

w w! superb images! how did you render the elevations in vfsu?

frv, i think you should reconsider and give hypershot another "shot".
sir nomer, salamat s comments master skp guru.
here's another render, enjoy!

just tried my hand in hypershot and i must say that its very easy to use. camera controls takes a little getting used to though. model is from 3d warehouse

i might be doing something wrong but when i imported these mats to my sketchup ones, a message appears "invalid ASGVIS material file". version 1 vfsu

nice render! how did u get your image to be rendered at 300dpi in vrfsu?

great work! what render engine are you using?

ey richard! care to share the car models?

awesome renders as always! how long is the average render time in fry?

tnx kwis! i just thought u have tweaked the mado settings to render faster. just can't bear waiting for very long render times. anyway, tnx a bunch!

hi dylan! the images go to their coresponding diffuse, bump or displacement maps in the material editor. hope this helps as i'm also exploring vray myself

much easier workflow for me is to use transformation tool in photoshop and skew or distort the image til it appears "vertical". just my 2 cents worth

so kwis, any chance of posting the visopts?
