But still i cant understand why we cant use high density translucent materials in vray. That will be the exact way to simulate the effect of the image.
You're confusing transparency and translucency. They are calculated very differently. Translucency, when done correctly, is far faster than transparency.
You can only use V-Ray in one version of Sketchup at a time. So if you have it installed for SU2013 you'll have to un-install it get the V-Ray installer for SU2015 and re-install it for 2015.
Unfortunately, you sir, have found a bug. I've logged the issue and it will eventually be resolved in future versions of V-Ray For SketchUp. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
I've been having real trouble with my 3D Warehouse online (via chrome or Edge/Internet Explorer) being different with my in SketchUp 3D Warehouse. I can "like" models and collections in both, but for some reason the information is not translated between the two versions of the Warehouse. I also can search in the online version of the warehouse and find the exact models I'm looking for, but if I type in the same search criteria through the in SketchUp browser I get wildly different results.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Are there suggested workarounds or fixes?
Thanks for any help you might give me!
A way to quickly cheat if the terrain clipper tool doesn't work, is to lift one surface off of the other by a half inch or so. At that distance and scale you shouldn't be able to see the edge either.
Could you please email support@chaosgroup.com with the heading ATTN Ted USA office. I would like to take a look at this particular issue further. If you can also share this model, that would be vary helpful.
If you are a paid user, you also have access to the express tools in the downloads section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T1p8n_MQog
Email support again with the header "ATTN Ted - CG USA" and Ill see what I can do to get you sorted.
You might want to log into http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/downloads.html and just download the 64bit and reinstall to be sure. The installer should read as follows: vray_adv_20025539_sketchup_2015_win_x64
Do not unplug the dongle while you're rendering. V-Ray will loose the License and most likely drop the render mid way through.
Go to Preferences> Extensions> V-Ray For Sketchup and see what version you are on. If you have a version number lower than 2.00.25539 you need to upgrade to the current release version.
You should check out our presets. Here's the tutorial link: http://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY2SKETCHUP/V-Ray+Option+Editor+and+Preset+ToolBar#
Try one of the interior settings to get started and work from there.
Try this glass out. You'll need to apply it to a thickened geometry for the refraction to work (model the glass pane), but it should give you a good starting point.
Sorry things are quite lately guys. Lots of big things happening here on a lot of different platforms. As soon as I'm able to talk about what fun stuff we are working on I will!
Please email support@chaosgroup.com with issues like these.
Well, I hope your renders got out on time, but two quick suggestion I can make is to first, try deleting any lights in the scene. Sometimes lights become corrupt and cause a scene to not render. If that doesnt work, a last resort would be to go to Extensions> V-Ray> Debugging> Regenerate all materials. You'll have to re-build all your materials from the base diffuse layer up, but the model should render again.
Let me know how it goes with the model.
This is a UV mapping error. Add a UV Map to your Diffuse layer.
You need to add a map to your diffuse layer so that V-Ray can get the UVW information to apply the material properly.
