I currently use a 2012 macbook pro and wanting to upgrade to something much faster with better performance. less program crashes etc.

I believe right now my budget is up to $1000USD. I use Vray and sketchup for modelling and i may use 3dsmax from time to time.

Can anyone recommend some laptops please much appreciated.

Hey guys im looking to upgrade from a Mid 2012 Mackbook pro to the lastest Mackbook pro.

My current mac is really slow and im wondering if the new mac can handle vray and sketchup for rendering.

any Macbook pro persons here can help and give some suggestions

Make some huge rectangular (sea) with water material plus some wave displacement and put vray plane under the sea. Remember rendering output is only 1st stage, usually some Pshop doodling should be applied.

oh ok let me try that and see if that works

Think mate, think
just put Vrayplane below sea level

below sea level? not sure what u mean

Are you sure that it's a spherical (360°) panorama and not a hemispherical (180°) panorama?
Can you share the panoramic image you use and SketchUp file?

place Vray plane.

Vray plane worked to get rid of the blackline. however there's a texture i created in vray for the ocean but when i add it to the vray plane and render it doesn't show

I'll try that. I saw something about vray place i did that but it seems as if vray plane doesnt accept textures

Its already set to sphere , however it still renders that way. Im using vray 2.0

Het guys im doing render ocean type of thing and im using dome light and an hdri but the horizon has a black line that im dont know how to get rid of it anyone can assist? need a fast response im working with a deadline. Thanks

Is there a way to create a walk through presentation after rending with vray? or would i have to use something else?

Hey guys im new to Vray using sketchup. Im wondering whats the best way to achieve this effect using Vray. Im trying to replicate something similar to this image regarding light shining upwards through trussing.

the software didnt worl

Is there a mac version for this?

Hey guys can you recommend site/sites i can get 3d models that arent in the sketchup warehouse? Thanks

Thank you !!

Thank i'll try that

Hey guys i was using vray 2.0 for sketchup to render an image and i added a chain link fence from the 3D warehouse but it didn't render. Also I cant seem to find a stage deck that when rendered looks like a stage deck, the side just look like one big reflective color. Help please
