Hi everybody,

I need to do an animation of a product assembly and render it into Vray. That part, I'm fine.
But I need to add a blue and white grid in the background. I tought I could put a grid texture in the environment background and in the texture placement choose 2D (UV channel) but it just greyed out my backgound in the render. It works when I choose Type->Environement and Mapping->Screen but the grid is in the foreground, which is not good.

If someone can help me, it'll be very appreciated.
Thanks,
François

Nice job again Fredo6.
Is it possible to animate the "sun" to see the shadow of a building moving from early in the morning through the night?
Thanks,
François

It works!
Many Thanks,
François

Hi,

One of my student have a strange error when starting sketchup after installing Sketchucationtools.rbz.
I don't think it's a problem with Sketchup or the plugin itself but I can't figure out what it could be. Maybe somebody here will know. Here's the error message:

Error: #<ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII>
