What is the latest Vray SU

----------
1.49.01
----------

Fixes:
- Fixed issue that caused a crash when using the Dimension Tool in SketchUp.
- Fixed issue where minimize / maximize box wouldn't show for vfb
- Fixed issue where vfb would stop being resizable after opening up
the framestamp panel
- Made a modification to the way we handle computing the environment -
this was to fix a problem that was introduced in the refraction layer
in a recent update that made it not render complex geometry ( where
there are lots of internal reflections ) properly

Changes:
- TexSky now uses values in the SunLight plugin, if one is specified.
Additional controls have been added to
the SunLight so you can have full control over the behavior of the sun
and sky when a sun is specified.
- In the color mapping render options, if Linear Workflow is enabled,
Correct LDR Textures and Correct RGB Colors will now be unchecked
and disabled. If Linear Workflow is not enabled, you will be able to
enable LDR Texture and RGB Color correction independently.
- Turned off render history until it is fully functional.
______________________________________________
----------
1.49.00
----------
Fixes:
- Upgraded scenes should now support file paths that contained &, <, and > characters.

Changes:
- Introduced "roughness" parameter to diffuse brdf
- V-Ray Default Material is now called Standard
- Changed names of materials in the Create Material menu, they no longer have the word "material" in the name.
- The create material menu is now arranged alphabetically, it was in random order prior to this update.
- Rearranged the UI for the render options to be a bit more optimized
- Removed purge unused from material editor's material right click menu,
so now it's only available from the scene materials item.
- Added ability to sort the material list alphabetically
------------------------------------------
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.99
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed issue that would cause crash when attempting to load non-existent visopt/vismat file
- We make sure we close out any open texture editors at shutdown - it
seems that an open texture editor would cause the program to not close
out and keep running in the background
- Made sure file browsers, directory browsers, plugin browser dialogs,
etc, have a parent window set - this fixes problem where a modal dialog
would hide behind other windows and just screw stuff up
- Fixed issue with Bitmap Layout where it would complain about "None"
being passed to it. Wasn't really an issue but it cluttered up error log
with useless error messages
- Fixed issue with Sky layout where it would not handle multiple suns correctly
- We now support colorization of textures that are embedded in the SketchUp scene file (not textures that exist on disk)
- We now support textures that share the same name, that are embedded in the SketchUp Scene file
- Fixed issue where DRSpawner would crash if the computer went to sleep (OSX)

Changes:
- Made ui arrangement for the TexFalloff and removed the "Shadow/Light" type because Vlado said it was not implemented.
- Introduced Angular Blend option to the TexFalloff
- Made it so the DRSpawner prints more information about render progress
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.98
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where it was possible to have changes to a spinbox not update in a render
- Fixed issue where saving images from vfb wouldn't overwrite existing files
- Fixed some problems related to the new offline activation stuff.
- Fixed problem with upgrading binary visopt/vismat to xml where files were not marked properly
- Fixed DR problems on OSX

Changes:
- We grey out the SettingsCameraDof "Aperture" setting if the physical
camera is in use ( you need to use the Physical Camera's "F-number"
parameter to set aperture in this case ).

Change Log:
----------
1.48.96
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed DR issue where black buckets would show up
- Fixed issue that caused DOF to not work properly
- Fixed issue where texture paths were not being corrected when they were being imported

Changes:
- Added a way to load a directory of vismats at once through the material editor
- Added a "pack material" function
- We remember which DR spawners were enabled/disabled in our options

Known Issues:
- DR does not work on Mac
- The InstallerLicenseUtility is having seemingly random problems on Mac as well. If it doesn't work- try it again until it does. It seems to work properly 50% of the time. Run /Applications/ASGVIS/RunVfSLicenseWizard or /Applications/ASGVIS/RunVfSAcademicLicenseWizard from the Terminal if you have trouble. It looks like this problem may be related to the same issues that cause our current DR problems on Mac.


----------
1.48.95
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed mistake that caused a bus error in our license wizard
- Fixed an issue that could cause value changes to not be used in a render (Spinbox issue as well as flushing notify queue )

Changes:
- Added Refraction Max Depth to material options.
- Put in a safer version of a hack that tries to get around a problem loading our oldest binary vismat format
- UI should be a little less sluggish when modifying materials / options
- Made it so our file browser will start where the last file browse was instead of random folders
- We don't prompt upon material import about deleting a material
- Modified the way offline activations work
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.94
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed issue on Mac where we were not setting the python path properly in some cases ( DRSpawner would not load PyVRay )

Changes:
- Lowered the max depth for searching for textures from 8 to 3 directories.
- Made a change to all of our shared libraries / executables on Windows to use "RunAsInvoker" to get around odd issues with the "Virtual Store"
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.93
----------
Fixes:
- On Mac we set the umask to be 0 so that the log file and the current_skp.xml file will have rw access for everyone
- Modified the way we set path on Mac to avoid an error that caused some py files to go "missing".
- Fixed another issue that stopped DRSpawner from starting
- Removed an unused module that required a module we don't distribute

Changes:
- Started switching over to use css for tooltip formatting.
- Moved log file and current_skp.xml file to be located at /Applications/ASGVIS/VfS on Mac
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.92
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed issue that could cause the DRSpawner to not even open due to incorrect vray dll
- Fixed issue that could cause the Installer License Utility to not launch
- We parent the vfb to the sketchup window now
- Fixed issues with loading old materials where they were not escaped correctly of illegal xml characters ( '&' '<' '>' )
- Fixed problem with certain controls not stripping leading/trailing white space from default values and tooltips
- Made it so a render won't fail if it comes across a parameter it doesn't recognize ( it will print a message in the log though )
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.91
----------
Fixes:
- Toon material should work properly now
- Found an issue in our notify queue system that could cause problems opening or making new models
- Fixed issue where materials with names matching that of dummy materials in our material preview scene would cause problems when rendering previews
- Fixed issue where material layers may disappear when the material is used as a sub material for a 2sided material
- Fixed issue with the Floating License Manager that prevented users from adding additional licenses
- Added some error checking to the user input in our license dialogs, to help users enter their information correctly
- Hitting the back button after failing to activate the product should no longer cause problems
- Fixed some other issues with licensing that would cause error messages to appear when the activation was sucessful
- The cutoff parameter should now be visible in the Default V-Ray material's options again, it had disappeared in a recent build

Changes:
- You can now set a material to not be effected by the global override material
- VFB Render History has been added (the little H at the bottom of the VFB)
- Updated to V-Ray Core 1.90.03
- During the installation, you can now choose to check out more than one seat for your license when setting up a local floating license server
- Our tooltips should now be automatically word wrapped, so they won't fill the entire width of the screen with a long line of text
- Added dispersion to the Refraction layer.
- Added the ability to set a texture for Anisotropy
- Added the ability to set a texture for Anisotropy Rotation

- Slight speedup in some actions related to UI ( renaming materials, etc )
- Slight speedup when inserting Sketchup components ( reduced overhead related to processing definition materials, etc )

Changes:
- Put in a backup sanity check for spinbox width, there have been reports of very narrow spin boxes. Hopefully this sanity check will get around that error
- We added a way to render from a file in the V-Ray menu. This can be used if you want to hold onto the xml file generated during the render process and render it manually at a later time without re-parsing the scene
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.89
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed invalid output image path issue that would cause a blank render
- Fixed issue that caused our gamma settings to be ignored in the material/texture preview renders

Changes:
- Made sure that our memory map was getting closed regardless of situation
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.88
----------
Fixes:
- Switched over to use memory-mapped files when parsing scenes. This should make it so some of the larger scenes that previously failed to render will now work
- Glossy reflections and bump map now work together properly
- Default lights can be enabled with other lights in scene now.
- Sketchup embedded textures show in previews now
- Material picker handler doesn't pick mats if you hit cancel now.
- Fixed problem with sphere plugin that caused material previews to not show displacement properly

Changes:
- When maps are set, the button changes color to make it more obvious
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.87
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed a logic error in some of the render plugin parameters that caused a memory leak
- Fixed an issue that caused the Light Cache layout to not show properly if it was both primary and secondary engine
- Fixed problem that caused importing materials to fail if the new material has a differet name than the material you were importing into

Changes:
- Added "Cast shadows" option to default material. This specifies whether or not the material will cast shadows
- Added "Only visible in secondary" option to default material. This makes it possible to have a material only show up in reflections or refractions
- Added "ID Color" to default material. This color allows you to set what color will show up in the Material ID VFB render channel
- Modified the way the "Options" panel in our default material UI looks to accomodate new options
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.86
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed issue that made license utility not get launched on Leopard and Tiger OSX
- Fixed problem that could occur when all layers were removed and adding new layers would be disconnected from the material
- Made a slight modification to the Toon material that should make it so it doesn't get slower when the line width is bigger
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.85
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed a problem that made it so VfS couldn't be loaded on Leopard or Tiger OSX

- Fixed some issues related to our file-searching algorithm
- Fixed it so the aspect ratio lock button will be set correctly when loading scenes
- Fixed issue in DRSpawner that could cause it to render black
- Fixed a problem that made it so the UI necessary to save Photon Maps was hidden
- The file extensions for the gi maps should be filled in correctly when you go to save them out
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.83
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that caused rectangle lights to show up at the wrong position and/or swap their width / height when upgrading old scenes
- Fixed problem that prevented DR from functioning properly on Mac
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.82
----------
Fixes:
- Found that we needed to flip normals in a calculation we do when upgrading rectangle lights from old scenes
- Fixed a bug that caused the highlight / reflection glossiness maps to not get used properly
- Fixed a bug where component definitions from Google Warehouse having the same name caused incorrect renders. ( We now refer to component definitions by appending its name and guid because its possible to have duplicate names if you get definitions from the Google Warehouse )

Changes:
- 'Reflect on backside' option is now enabled by default like it was in our previous official release
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.81
----------
Fixes:
- Modified the way we handle dr initialization that should resolve the problems introduced when using more than one dr slave at a time
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.80
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed a mixup that caused DR renders to not start up properly
- Fixed an issue that caused importing materials to not work correctly
- Fixed an issue that caused imported Sketchup Images to not get rendered properly
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.79
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed issue that caused "apply material to selection" feature in Material Editor to not function properly

- Made it so we no longer use cpu resources when sketchup is idle
- Fixed issue that caused the VFB button to crash
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.78
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where DOF would not work properly when using the physical camera
- Closing Sketchup while a render is in progress will no longer hang
- Sketchup shortcuts should now work while a render is in progress
- Fixed issue that caused unicode visopt / vismat names to not get loaded properly
- Fixed glitch in VFB that made it so you could not resize it after clicking the bottom-right button that shows the framebuffer options

Changes:
- Made it so Skp2Sided material would pass the force 1 sided to its sub-materials
- Modified the way we render so that we no longer interrupt the Sketchup event loop.
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.77
----------
Fixes:
- If you hit the render button back-to-back it should no longer cause a crash
- Fixed issue where the default material name when saving would be the last material you saved
- Fixed issue where importing materials was not working anymore
- Fixed internal bug that could cause crashes when adding materials from the Sketchup library and caused odd error log messages
- Material preview should now refresh itself correctly
- Material preview should now get saved properly when the render finishes
______________________________________________
----------
1.48.76
----------
Fixes:
- Resolved issue related to our floating-point spin boxes not working properly in non-US country settings
- The spin box issue also caused other issues like an all-white render output - so if you experienced very odd effects with 1.48.75 and you are not using American-style settings then it could be related to that.

Changes:
- We now put a trailing .0 or ,0 ( depending on locale ) for all floating-point spin box values if they are just integers. For example what would display as "1" in our last build would now be "1.0" or "1,0" depending on locale settings
____________________________________________________
----------
1.48.75
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed problem where subasset bitmap would replace top-level texture for the diffuse layer's color texture

Changes:
- DR nodes remove the scene file on each render - hopefully this will resolve the odd situation where scene files do not refresh correctly
- Closing the vfb will cancel the current render
- Took out block that caused it to be impossible to work while rendering
- Opening mated / opted should always bring it to the top
- Windows should no longer flash during the startup process
- The vast majority of our float spinboxes have trimmed useless 0's
____________________________________________________
----------
1.48.74
----------
Fixes:
- Modified the way our material preview sends pixel data to the preview window...this should resolve issue where previews cause immediate crashing on Mac
____________________________________________________
----------
1.48.73
----------
Fixes:
- Fixed problem on Mac side that caused our oldest vismats to crash when being loaded.
- Fixed issue with right-click menu in material editor not going away sometimes ( Mac version )
____________________________________________________
----------
1.48.72
----------
Changes:
- Made slight change to DRSpawner that tweaked a python garbage collection call. It seems to have fixed a crash that would shutdown the spawner every couple renders
____________________________________________________
----------
1.48.71
----------
Fixes:
- DR render nodes on machines that are not licensed should now use the clients license properly
- Fixed problem with the sun light showing up when it should not
____________________________________________________
----------

- Made a ui arrangement for Color Mapping / Output / TexBitmap / TexGrid

Fixes:
- Fixed problem where R2P.rb would not be found if Sketchup wasn't installed into a path structure that we expected ( Google SketchUp 7/Sketchup/ or some other iteration that says the Sketchup version number )
- Fixed alpha multiplier / alpha offset to use spin boxes instead of textures for everything
- Fixed problems with apply material to selection
- Fixed issue with apply material to layer
- Fixed issue that prevented imported skp materials from bringing materials in correctly
____________________________________________________

----------
Fixes:
- Glossy effects in global switches is now used by glossy plugins
- Do maps, and other global switches also are used by plugins
- Internal fix related to back button in license dialog
- Fixed issue where irradiance maps could not be reused ( also light cache )
- We removed the hard-coded path to "Application Data" that caused problems on non-English versions of XP
- Removed "flip" in TexFresnel where putting a White AColor texture would not match output of white color
- Hidden lights option in global switches should now be used
- Fixed issue where path tracing was not being utilized properly by light cache
____________________________________________________
----------
1.48.67
----------
Fixes:
- Materials with '/' (forward slashes) in their name caused a major problem since we now use a URL system for identifying plugin relationships - we've added some code to warn users about this issue and update materials to use names without the "/"
- Changing the bitmap texture through our Material Editor should no longer mess with the uvs on the Sketchup side
- HDR images will now preview properly
- Fixed a problem where some special characters like '[' or ']' would cause material previews to not run properly or possibly crash
- Fixed problem where files were not being saved correctly from the vfb
- Fixed an issue where "Apply material by layer" would still apply even if the user pressed "Cancel"
- Fixed an issue where removing the current material would leave the material's UI Form still open
- Fixed issue with "Duplicate Material" functionality not being implemented properly
- Fixed issue with "Alpha Offset" and "Alpha Multiplier" for TexBitmap

Ah ok po. Masubukan nga. Maraming salamat po master Nomer.

Good day po, i'm sorry to butt in, i'm new to the forum,i'm using SU 8 PRO+KT 2008 and planning to switch to vray. Just for curiosity sake. i'm in the U.S.(Connecticut) nakita ko lang yung mga presentation nyu ok talaga. So to make it straight is there a free version of that vray looks inviting to me and can anybody extend a hand in the group explain to me further to this vray that your using..........kunting pahabol lang and i know everybody is busy, thanks.

The latest version of V-ray for sketchup is 1.49.01
You can also check the version on the official site.

indeed this was an old tread. actually the latest is 1.49.02 for the beta users. but the downloadablea at chaos group is 1.49.01

Thank you.

sir nomer

V-Ray SketchUp v1.48.89 po ang gamit ko and
Google SketchUp Pro , Version 8.0

sir compatible po ba ito ? gumagana naman po pero hirap ako hindi ko makuha desire ko na render.

sir saan na po bayun multiplier nito parang sa old versions? yun displacement ko likeyun mga carpet hinde ko mapalabas sa renders...sa 1.48 pagsinunod mo yun tutorials ok na po. ito po madameng rollouts at parang mahirap yun uv mapping niya. salamat po

so sir nomer what's the new version? thank you.
