I was hoping this bug had been fixed. I am using LO14 and get this unwanted geometry lines all over the place. I have tried changing the OpenGL settings and there is some improvement (less lines) but it has not gotten rid of all the lines. Any other ways users have come around to solve this problem? frustrated

^^ Thank you guys! That is PERFECT!

Maybe I should play with the transparency of the diffuse layer as well? FYI, I have the glass modeled with true thickness (two faces separated by the thickness of the glass).

Hi fellow vray-ers! I have a design where a bathroom is separated from the room via a Smart Glass Wall. I have already rendered a version where the glass is fully transparent and am in the process of re-creating the scene with the glass "turned on".

I looked into tutorials for frosted glass and have been playing with refraction glossiness and fog. However, I am having a hard time achieving the right look. When on, Smart Glass is really not see through, but it is not fully frosted either. It is a bit milky, with sharp reflections.

I was hoping that one of you experienced render artists would give me a hand with the right parameters to play with to achieve this glass look. If anyone has done this before, I would be so grateful if you could share your material.

I am attaching some pictures of a real apartment where this glass has been used. As you can see, the glass changes from transparent to opaque/transluscent with the push of a button!

Thanks in advance and Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA!

You can install and use differing versions of SketchUp on a computer. You can not install both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of SketchUp 2015. So if you are using a version earlier than 2015, you can install 2015 64-bit without affecting your current version.

Thank you Jim! I am going it a try this evening. So excited!

So exciting to see a 64-bit version of SU out! To install the 64-bit version, do I have to unistall the 32 bit version? Can I have both installed at the same time? Earlier posts on this thread suggest so but on the SU download page it says you must remove the 32-bit version before installing the 64-bit version. Any feedback on this please?

I also have the same problem. I just dont remane materials anymore. I am using OS: Windows 7, SU PRO 2014, and VRAY 2.00.24942.

^^ Actually, I think I do not need to try render with materials overwritten. See, different groups/components render (or do not render) depending on the scene. So I do not think the problem is a material issue. I think this is a VRAY bug.

You would do best to upgrade to the latest version and service pack. There have been numerous bug fixes since this issue first came to light.

This are my specs:

OS: Windows 7
SU PRO 2014
VRAY 2.00.24942

If I am correct, I am using the latest service pack.

Hello Thomas,

When I try to use the camera tool to set up the aspect ratio, I loose my 2 point perspective that I have set up for my scene. Am I missing something?
