This will be an issue with the drivers for your graphics card. What is the graphics card? Try updating its drivers.

The problem is SketchUp 2017 doesn't have an option to uncheck hardware acceleration like in the older version.

No. Due to the new graphics pipeline used by SketchUp 2017 there is no option to turn off Hardware Acceleration. SketchUp 2017 does not have an option to use the software rendering like older versions.

not sure how to disable hardware acceleration.

You can't. You need to make sure your graphics card is up to the task of supporting OpenGL3.0 or you will find it difficult to use SU2017.

I am attaching print screens of older and SketchUp 2017 OpenGL settings where hardware acceleration options is missing.
Thanks.

As before, it's not missing. Since there's option to do software rendering, it's not an option to turn off Hardware Acceleration.

The fact that you needed to turn off Hardware Acceleration in the past implies that your GPU or its drivers haven't been suitable from before SU2017. Now you'll need to deal with that instead of pushing the rendering off on the CPU.

Read the Release Notes and System Requirements.

Post production. Very busy guy he is 😄

Hopefully they would add it in the next version of Vray Next. We are still waiting for it.

People still think 3DS Max is the king when it comes to photorealistic rendering but I'm sure Sketchup will take that place soon.

Hi there,

Is there any way to automatically uncheck the linear workflow in all old materials? Any extension or whatever?

Thanks!

You can make the sun invisible and under the options turn off the affect specular. I'm on Vray 3.4 and I don't remember how it was in 2.0. Maybe something similar..

Just touching V-ray, what I've read that sketchup interface is set 1600x900(aspect ration of 2.01:1) whereas Vray default is 800x600(Aspect ratio 1.333:1).
Use closer to 2.01:1 Something like 853x480,1280x720,1920x1080
Anyway I have not gone to that point yet, just starting Vray .
