using vray for sketchup. if i put a single tree in a model on its own it renders with the leaves but in the model ive just added trees to, they all render without leaves

Hi,
Does this only appears with some trees ? in this case which one ? Could you post one example.
In any case there are two issues I know with many renders :

• incorrect handling of colorized textures
• incorrect handling of UVs textures when material is applied to a parent group, not to the faces.

Here is an example :

[attachment=2:27t53w9y]<!-- ia2 -->uvfix_avant.jpg<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:27t53w9y]

I'm not sure if you are in this case, but if you used trees with PNG textures, due to the render error on UVs, leaves may disappear because of the transparency part of their texture is not correctly placed.

So I made a small script to fix it for trees.

[attachment=1:27t53w9y]<!-- ia1 -->uvfix_apres.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:27t53w9y]

Could you test it and let me know if it works in your case.
[attachment=0:27t53w9y]<!-- ia0 -->3darcstudiotools.rbz<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:27t53w9y]
install the extension
before rendering : use the menu 3DArcStudio>Tools>Fix Leaves textures...

Tried the above but still coming out the same, really dont understand it as it works if i start a new sketchup file. Its the same for all trees as well not just 1 type

Not yet, but I'm working on it... will publish it as soon as available.

whenever i try to render the leaves disapear and ive no idea why, any help would be great

Which render do you use ?

i've made tests with Octane, Thea, Kerkytea. I could try with your render with evaluation version.
I know some issues with the renders I tested but with good results.
