@ qwertydesign: well, unfortunately im not that good on laying out uv mapping, it is true that lithunwrap and probably the other uv mapping software have ability to stitch out all the uv one by one, but that process is kind of hard and time consuming to do.. im still learning and searching too for the easiest way to do it properly and efficiently.. right now what often im doing is, i split the face on sketchup and manually positioning the texture (in my case is architectural thingy), i know it will be much harder on organic model.. but mybe u can try that way.

regards,

with lithunwrap, you can select all the UV, and then select tool -> UV Mapping -> either you can choose cylindrical, planar, spherical, etc, depends on your situation

Well ok the problem is that .obj exporter in sketchup but i got it fixed by exporting my model first into .3ds and then open in another program to export it into .obj file.
but now i have new problem when i import my model back in sketchup useing this plugin it tells me that 174 faces failed and nothing is imported.

have same problem here, before it doesn't like this.. is it possibility a crash with other plugins?
here some screen shot:

1. i do some texture messing with the box:
   
   
   

2. i repair it with lithunwrap (see that texture is already good at the preview box):
   
   
   

3. when i do import, i have this message and the texture is not change at all, can't figure it out whats wrong?
   
   
   

please somebody help to solved this issued, thanks

When you can't remember what they do, you have passed the limit!

hahaha.. yes you right chrisjk

and as chris fullmer said, watch out for the crash between plugins, it would be to check it one by one

BRAVO FREDO

hoi bro, your render is already good, probably need to be Photoshop work to make it real, you can check teofas Photoshop Tutorial on http://www.asgvis.com - tutorial section

i have a friend that his render is always confusing to me (always looks like photo) gave me a suggestion: if you want your render looks like photo, look at a photo as much as you can, so you've got the feeling what is missed from your rendered image.

goodluck,
vidy

dear solo,

it's very impressive works man, may we know your work flow to achieve those images?
thanks in advance

vidy

you're welcome wahoo, yes i thought i was change a bit about physical camera option, hopefully it recorded on my file, coz sometimes vray for su forgot about the setting when we move the file to other computer

bytw, is the image you posted originally from the vray su render? well, i think, it will be better if you play a bit on PS (or image editing software) to tweak for brightness and contrast of the image.

nice project bro..

vidy

this problem are indeed happen inside sketch up, still looking for some answer too how to manage this
please give any clues...

regards,
vidy

perhaps something like this (using vray 1.5)

It's a bit strange coz, SU can't update the material as seen on my render image, anyway here's the file.
