I'm working on a w7 pc, with sketchup2015 & the last version of Vray. I'm the only PC user at office. All my colleagues are using imacs, with the same versions of sketchup & vray.

On the PC, all the texture maps paths are beginning with Z:... That's the adress of our nas.
Although on the imacs, the adress to reach the nas begins with /Volumes/nas/...

SO, that's pretty hard to share files, since we need to edit all the textures paths in order to prevent missing textures, hdri, or IES file...

Is it there any trick to solve this issue ? In sketchup, vray, or even directly in the OS...

Thank you for your help.

Hi.
I guess it happened to others too, but this plugin makes crash my sketchup when used in large models ( >20Mo) sketchup freezes with the message " Making unique components and deleting groups and components behind section plane"
how can I help sketchup to slice the model ? If I explode all components, will it change anything ?

thanks

Thank you for your answer.
I made some trys with your plugin, but it looks as if it if confusing inches and meters while importing the camera... I sent you more details in a private message

thanks again

Hi everybody.

I'd like to import all cameras (scenes), from a 3DS file. How can I do that ? When I import the file in sketchup8, I only get the geometry... But when I open it in MAX, I can see all the cameras...
I'm working on files with dozens of cameras, and I don't want to set them one by one... Is it there a plugin, or something else that could help ?

nb : the 3DS file was saved from an archicad16 3D model.

Thank you

SInce I use DR from a PC to a PC, or from mac to mac, I have no problem with version 1.49.
Does the version 2.0 improve the compatibility between mac & pc ?
thx

Hi,
I'm working on a PC, with skp8 & vray 1.49.01 installed, but I also have 3 imacs available. I'd like to set distributed renders on the 3 macs, from my PC... (all machines are working on the same gigabit network, whit a storage nas)
SO I installed vray DRspawner on the iMacs, but I'd like to know if that's possible to set a DR between mac & PC ?

All the materials, textures & ies are stored on the same nas, accessible from all machines. SO, I tried...

My main issue is that on my PC, materials path is something like Z:/FOLDERS/Material.jpg
Although the macs are using this kind of path : /Volumes/FOLDERS/Material.jpg So, if I let the Z:/, the macs can't find materials...
That's surprising, but when I set the "mac style path" (starting by /Volumes...) in vray (on the PC), the PC can find the textures, and of course, the imacs can find the texture too. GREAT !

So, no problem for the materials, since I rewrite the paths, by replacing Z:/ by Volumes/

But it's not working for IES... When I set a /volumes/ path to ies lights... The PC can't find them, and I get dark renders

Any idea ?
Is it there an other way to set DR between mac & PC ?

thx

Hi

Can someone indicate me if that's possible tostart a render on slave computers only, in order to keep the main computer available for working on sketchup during render ?

Thanks

Same issue for me on my imac...

It occures only when I open large models; whith a lot of materials... Any solution ?

I love this plugin, thanks.
(it saved my life ^^)
