I'm using sketchup pro 8, and vray 1.48.93

My rendering settings are default, i unchecked just GI color and BG color.
I have a lightsource under that lampshade, omnilight, i know that the 2sided material must to be setup from vray material editor and i did that, both faces have the same texture.

How can i raise the quality of the rendering ?

Thank you

Hy, I have this problem again and I have no idea how to improve the quality of the rendering. The surfaces, no mather how much i try to set up the texture, i don't get the result that i expect. (on some surfaces i followed instructions from tutorials, some of them from sketchucation users but with this result) On that blue light, someone said that i should use 2sidedface matterial, but i have no idea ho to make that glow, and the light fall on the floor.

For that light i followed these instructions

If someone can give me some tips, i would be grateful. Thank you.

My option editor refuses to open. I tried to unnistall, install the program, nothing. The material editor is ok. The problem has appeared when i switched of one display (i used 2 LCD's now remained one). I have no more ideas, is someone had this problem before please give me a clue.

I think i fixed the problem..at least for now..i reversed the faces of the light (backside toward me and that's unnusual). Hope that will work for all of them. Thanks for your help and hope that i can post some renders soon

I can do that, or i can upload the entire model, i tried to make some other lights there and sometime they work sometime don't..i don't know what to say. This is not the 1'st time that i use lights with vray and sketchup, i'm not a pro but i know how to manage decently with them. I can upload here? or i have to put it somewere else and give you the address?

i did that too..

Hy, this is my 2'nd project now and i have this problem with rectangular lights. No mather how much i raise the intensity, changing units and check on "global switches" lights ON , they appear like this (on that mirror it supposed to be a light). Can anyone know what is the source of the problem? Thanks for u're answer.

i need some help with this problem. When creating iregulate shapes, how can i match texture with the object faces? (i tried with holding Alt between one face and another...the pattern isn't accurate)

I have much to learn and I know it . I used Vray for rendering, but on the exterior ones i didn't put bumps, replacement maps or reflections..i tested them just on that interior..but..my computer is way too slow i think. I abbandoned this project because of that. My problem is on the environment..i didn't know how to put a more realistic sky with other methods than styles, or creating an arch with a sky photo texture where i need. There are some plugins for that..or other programs? Thx for the reply

I'm new around here, and i'm using SU for about 1 month. Recently i "finished" my 1'st project and the result is this :

I know that the renderings are not so great..the one with the interior took me about 5-6 hours rendertime..i have no idea why...i guess that the model is too large. Well..i want your opinion

p.s. excuse my english
