the problem can be by some things: improper geometry in one or more of your components, improper materials or the resolution and your configuration. improper geometry - Sometimes vray can't triangulate the surface. Check your geometry with solid ispector, solid solver or manually. Materials - Look your vray progress window. In the progress you will see which materials load fast, which slow, other don't load. For those that load slow, you can reduct the resolution and dpi of textures (both of diffuse, bump and displacement). For materials that vray freeze trying loading them, you must change them. It's difficult to find which material freeze exacte, because vray show you only treated materials, so you leave loaded materials and try to repair the others. The resolution can be a problem too. With my Radeon HD6850 and phoenom II x4, I have a problem last two months. There had a windows update probably and I have no updated catalyst, because AMD do not support catalyst any more. So the maximum of resolution of exterior render of complicated models its 1024x768 for me.

I had the same problem, drove me nuts! http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=60506%26amp;p=553303%26amp;hilit=orange+line#p553303

This is the way I do it, and it works for me, but you are at the mercy of your map. The gray values in the map, dictates where and how strong your reflection is happen. Cheers. I tested it out. The bump must make the rendering slower (as the 3ds max tutorial seemed so much quicker and easier) But still, having said that, this seems to work great, thank you so much for your help.

excellent! Isn't indigo capable of rendering su sections? would it render that scene with a section passing through it?

I'm not au fait with 'Fur'. Perhaps it doesn't like 'Scaling' of components ?

hi not enough info really. can you open any other models, [double click on a another skp] which exact version on of su v8 can you post the skp? john

I have a similar issue. Tried to install VRay 1.6 on Mac w SU8 - SU crashed on open every time. Uninstalled everything, created a clean install of SU13, no plugins except VRay 1.6. I can create a new model no problem and it works, but when I try to open one of our SU8 models, I get the warning message about saving in SU13 blablabla and then the never ending spinning color wheel. Have to force quit SU and it happens on every model (tried 4 so far - size range from 25-50MB).
