I don't have money to buy v.ray for blender.... is there any affordable animation plugin in sketchup that is compatible with v-ray?

So is any of these rendering engines free? And if they aren't free is there any free animation plugin that's compatible with v-ray?

Thea Render is currently supported by Animator.

Sorry i don't know what Thea Render is? So i'm assuming i can't render it in v-ray?

Is it possible to do a video with the project rendered in v-ray? I watched an animation of this plugin in youtube, but the model isn't rendered.

Hello!
I wanted to do a video of my project, with a camera that moves with a nice flow naturally, and i want to open the roofs to show some specific objets , but i will do that editing in after effets. For now i want to ask :What's the best free and easy plug-ins to make a nice video?

Thanks!

This is called PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures. It's for rendering plugins (such as V-ray) or game engines (such as Unity & Unreal Engine). Those different colored images are called 'maps' and you apply them all in order to get a realistic look. (Bumps that you were familiar before is kind of equivalent to 'normal' maps in this workflow)

'Substance' is an exceptional software where you create those textures and maps. (It's not the only way, of course) (Some of those plugins & engines has features to apply .sbsar file and not bother with maps individually)

Check these tutorials by Unity or this by Allegorithmic for more information.

Thanks for the information but where do i apply it in the v ray material editor?

Hello everyone!
I was going to get some textures and then i saw this : https://www.textures.com/download/substance0029/127088?q=roof+tiles
Why are there so many types of this image? how can i apply it and what is it for? I'm just familiar with bumps and displacement maps not this. It seems interesting, anyone could explain me please?
Thank you

I'd seriously suggest Artisan, SubD, FFD, Erode to the list.

Is Artisan and SubD really necessary? i don't have money to buy it, and also i can't find FFD Tool anywhere after i installed in the system preferences?
