Have you tried to reduce the noise threshold? You find it under DMC sampler.
I use 0.002.

whoops! I missed that version number... 1.48.93? Any reason you're not using at least 1.49.01? It was a free upgrade. You might end up saving enough time using the wrapper material in to justify the upgrade cost to 2.0. Depends on the learning curve required to do this all in post, and time it takes to actually get the result you want.

Andy- I don't think there's really any other way around it, excluding what has already been discussed, aside from doing two separate render passes. One with just the model, and the other with the ground plane. That's how I would have done it back in the day.

It appears never to have been further developed since Sketchup v6

Well! Well! Well!
Thank you all! Now I have found the solution!
I'll try all your suggestions to find the perfect one for my animation.
I think the fade effect I need, is something I must prepare before and then use with those plugins.... yes!

Thank you so much!

So no one had the same problem and solved it?

The problem is not in the rendering settings... the result is similar to the camera view; is the animation different to the camera view...
So, should I really cut the render?

if you contact support, we can track it down

Nomer get's into a technique on his website.

Great brushes and tutorial! Thanks valerostudio, with your always good suggestions.
thanks guys!

Well Rich O Brien, thank you!
I'm going to export still images without Anti Aliasing
Thanks!
...even if I cannot find anything about nested animation on th help...

no... it doesn't work. I used Ambient Occlusion with normal settings but the result is not ok. What can i do?

👍 😉

You can now also using proxies in 1.6 and never have to deal with fake trees ever again!

oh, a bump map... In effect I didn't even think to use it because I tought it was for soft effect... like (for example) orange peel.

Ok, I'll try. Or will use a vertical plane to end the edge.
Thanks

maybe also more than 30-40 as far as i can see the proper value changes at each renders depending of the lighting conditions.. i suspect that in your case you should raise it a lot because you have a lot of splotches.. keep testing and read soemething about the vray engine.. the link posted by valero is a very good start, look further in that site, it refers to vray for 3dsmax but it works quite the same in vray for sketchup..

Yes! Solved... as in my other question-post it was a component problem. I exploded and made it again a group and now it works.

Ok, tomorrow i will try to use ies+spotlight lights and not omni

Thanks for the help

Anytime 😄

The magnetron? ahah great, and a plate of pasta inside it not?
Ya, probably as you say is better to create components by myself.

In v-ray materials under diffuse just click on "Use color texture as transparency" and click preview of material. It should be transparent now if u are using png.
