Hi,

This is a huge issue with the new vray 3 for sketchup. Proxies are buggy! Chaosgroup is working on a hotfix, that they promise will be released "shortly".

Chaosgroup send my colleague this temp. workaround:

"In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, simply open the proxy component in edit mode, then select the object and apply the Multi material to it."

I hope Chaosgroup will do an update that will allow you to import proxies made in 3ds directly into SU, and the materials will apply automaticaly as they were in 3ds. But that might be wishfull thinking...

Best regards.

1 - U need a node licens for the slave. If you have one licens for vray you will also have 1 node licens to install swarm on another machine.

2 - As far as I know you can no longer import vismat materials to replace a material in your model. However - the new material library is pretty awsome.

3 - Yes - if you have 1 online license you can use it on any machine, but only one machine at a time - as far as I know.
