.mtl will not work with this V-Ray. That's a Max format, which I am sure this model was meant for. Now with that said, I have to say that this is the limitation you will hit every time with SketchUp. It just cant handle geometry like this. Try to import the same file in Max and see how it handles. It's just night and day. SketchUp was never meant to be this kind of program. Some rendering engines allow for proxies which puts a low poly placeholder in SketchUp and then renders out the hi-poly version. V-Ray currently does not have this capability but it is in the works for their next release.

btw, is there any free plugins to scale by vertex? I mean like FFD in 3ds max to create a better model for flag or blanket, curtain etc?

Like SketchYFFD?

Regarding the bottle, it may be the faces are too small for SU...if that is the case, just scale up by 10 or 100, before follow me, then scale back down afterwards - and the faces will be kept.

Scale? Great! It works!

by the way, have any idea to create these kind of bottle?

I have no idea 😕
maybe a product designer is better than an architect in shaping things 😄

Unfortunately the Follow me tool - unlike the PushPull tool - explodes polylines (any kind of curves). So indeed, the weld plugin is always good to be at hand.
