Hi to all:

I look in to the Chaos web and I can't find any horizontal siding. I looking to create a displacement for:

Hardie plank horizontal lap siding with 10.75” of exposure factory primed.

I can't find any material to look like that, does anybody have some material that can share? Or where to find?

I email chaos ask for the material but it will take at least 2 days to reply.

Thank you for any help.

I have Sketchup Pro Mac osx and I have not preview of the files, all the files look the same and drive me crazy, can someone explain If exist any walk around? Thanks.

For all the people that work in 1.6.0.23 I have an issue with the install of the new version, is some related to the beta and it shows a 30 days demo with a code and you cannot work in vray because it run as a demo with watermarks.

Only if you have an issue with a error message and a code number please contact support at:

vrayforsketchup@chaosgroup.com

They fix the problem I spend a couple hours try almost all in Mac OSX and after I give up. the customer service fix the problem ASAP.

Thanks again to the customer service of Chaosgroup, Corey, and also Andy, valero for your help.

I really appreciate, awesome work. You are a master valerostudio@

thank you.

Thank you for your time. i try that already and have no good results. I am still need help with the base model. If someone can step out and straight the centres of the model so look more rectangular I really appreciate. I know there are masters of modeling that can help me with this model.

Thanks.

I am one of that... I will apply.

Hi To all:

I model a simple rug with a tutorial that i found in the web. I use a pillow to model the base rug and unfortunate I try many plugins to straight the centers of each side to look better without success.

Does anybody have the skills to modify my model and straight the centres so it looks kind of a rectangle. The corners rounded are fine just need to change that. I try to create my own model of rug and simply sketchup just crash with vray 1.6, this model is working but need some touch.

You are welcome to save the material just change the color of the rug and change the displacement number as you wish.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks.

kalu - I believe that there are licensing restrictions on some of the textures used for some materials, which prevent us from giving them away for free (this was the case with the Arroway materials I believe). It's not hard to make a material, and we provide plenty of documentation and tutorials on how to do it. If we made the life of a beta tester too easy, we would never find any bugs.

Thanks for the information. I talk to some people in Chaosgroup USA and as usual very helpful and different of the main company in Europe.

Thanks again for the comments.

thanks, i thought that was the reason why i didn't get any emails reply.

If you are a Beta Tester you should have all the rights to have resources to test the soft in full. This is different to a trial version. You need resources to get feedback to the company and also check the soft and buy the soft in full.

In this snon sesnse case the company only have the full access to users for other soft like 3D max and Sketchup is put in the ditch.

Great strategy for new buyers no?

Non sense.

I am very disappointed with "CAOSGROUP". I have access to the new BETA and I request as the same as 3Dmax users the right to download VISMATS and they denied the request. Only owners of a license can download materials. So no trials witch I agree but BETA testers too? That's is ridiculous. Why users for MAX can have full access and the Sketchup BETA testers no?

Well they do not respond my request more than Bla Bla Bla without sense. I think someone respond by the book not by using their heads.

So you can download the soft test and not materials for use in CHAOSGROUP, use materials from other resources.

My 2 Cents.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your comments. You are right, this is some that I always forgot.

Hi Dale:

Thank you for your comments. i really want to learn a quick way to do a grass in HQ but I already love Vray, and take me more than 6 months to learn that. I looking for any way just to make grass quick and real instead to Photoshop. thea and maxwell are awesome render engines but I already know how render in Vray I just do not want to start over again.

thank you for your info.

Hey Kalu -
I'm curious what you found difficult about Thea or Maxwell. Since you already know vray, I can imagine most of the knowledge about rendering can transfer fairly easily. Especially I found maxwell to be very easy to pick up, and it looks like the grass texture seems pretty cool (see: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=46053 ) There are some things I don't like about those engines, but nothing that has to do with ease of use. Maybe try some tutorials and see if you like them more.

Hi Andy:

thank you for the information. It take me a couple of months to learn Vray for Sketchup most learn at the beginning with Fernando Rentas videos from rhino plus the forum before Chaos take over Asgvis. Now we have tons of videos tutorials to learn quickly. The forum is kind of dead after Chaos take over. I still want to render in Vray the buildings and the grass just render in a second render engine and combine all in PH. I do not want to learn a new render engine again, and the option of use fur in sketchup is almost prohibited since it take forever to render. I am still looking for good options integrated to Sketchup as possible so I keep the same viewport.

Hi to all:

I try almost all the plugins available for render in Sketchup, try to make real grass looks almost impossible.

I learn Vray and try to use the same quality real-render in Sketchup with grass but if you only have a small area works well with "sketchup fur", when you have a big land you are dead, just for the limitations of sketchup. I know very well Sketchup and I make renders in Vray, and I am tired to fake the grass in Photoshop. I try Modo 601, crazy impossible to learn, Maxwell Render the same, Threa render the same so what is the best option for who have a excellent model resource but missing the grass in the same quality for render?

Thanks for your comments.

Kalu.

thank you for the quick info!!!!!!!!!!!
