Good day!
I have a test sample render here.
When i render it with "Override Materials" the result is ok.
but
When i render it without "Override Materials" then the frame buffer comes out it only turns into black buffer. 
I can't find the problem.
Is it on my settings?
I did attach screenshots for my settings and images.
Thank you in advance.

Yes. There is. It's been out for awhile, now. Lots of discussion here on the forum if you browse a little bit.
You ought to download it and give it a try.
If you're asking if it is a free upgrade, no. It is a different version. There is an upgrade charge which is much lower than the price for a new user.
What are the features of this update? is there any videos showing whats new on it?

You don't need Restore Toolbars any more. Toolbars no longer get messed up on window resize, like they did in earlier versions. Once you have set them up the way you want them, that's it.
Cool 
I see.
Thanks.
Can't find the Restore Toolbar Positions. 
See attached.
Dude, try SU options editor then go Irradiance map change HSph. Subdivs. default is 50 make it 100 or higher. 
the higher HSph. Subdivs. the longer the rendering time.
Can you give me a link where can i download a vray proxy?
Thank you so much for your tips.
Got already a good tutorial for this.
You might try this one. pref. this is photoshop

I guess a Video tutorial will do that would be the easiest way
In which case Pixel Flakes have a good one that includes the project files (so you can work along):

For those of us who already know our way around PS, masks and material ID, this time lapse video is superb:
Thank you so much for the help!!!

If you're not using MatID channels and Photoshop then you are not taking advantage of the most powerful tool in a render artists kit. Learn as soon as you can!
yea... thanks

you can set up a material ID mask. Here is my tutorial for doing post-process grass in vray. Good luck.
Sir andy. I saw this grass of yours. Can i ask where did u get this? i mean is this a SU model? can i download it?
Thanks

Andy, This will be great.
I'll try to study this method.
Thanks a lot.

Hieru, Already see this tutorial but still i cant understand how to mask

Best and fastest is to make a mask out of the areas where the grass should be and just add it in post. Displacement won't look good - it just looks like spikes and eats lots of render time and memory. Fur isn't supported in VfS and it'd still be faster and better to do in post when you're not doing an animation.
Yeah! Your right Master Thomthom.
I'm having hard time with Photoshops as of now Fur will be the best option for me. 
Thanks.
@valerostudio said:
Yeah, fur will dramatically make your file slower. Honestly, the floating car bothers me more than your grass. The best method for grass where you don't use fur or displacement is Photoshop as suggested.
What component did you use for the grass in Fur? Use the crown feature paired with something like this http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=dcd8fba2ac24d3b5bbb8a2bd32325576&prevstart=0
or this one

Hahaha! I didnt notice that the car was floating.
Uhh..I use this grass (edited)
@valerostudio said:
Fur plugin, but I would only use it in the foreground as good density grass will be very plo heavy.
I did try Fur plugin - But still im not satisfy with the result. 
Here's the result with fur plug-in (see attached)
Using fur plug-in the file becomes heavy and it takes more rendering time.
@rspierenburg said:
To be honest I think that looks better than most non-post grass. There is a tutorial floating around these forums (check tutorial section) on how to place grass using photoshop as I think that would be your best bet for realism.
Im not good with photoshop but if theres a tutorial step by step. I can do so.
Ok ill check it out. BTW Thanks.
Could anyone help me out how can i achieve realistic grass? (Not displacement)
Here is the image that I've rendered using SU8 Pro.
