Vray for Sketchup Q&A

First topic message reminder :

This is the thread for Questions regarding Vray.

minsan gusto mo lang diretsong sagot sa diretsong tanong.

simulan ko poh mga kuya:

Q: My renders are a bit grainy. what am i doing wrong?

*moderator* when asking specify your vraySU version..

sir di kaya yung IES data yung hindi match kaya diko makuha-kuha yung tutorial ninyo? thanks

lorhisuka wrote:sir naka off po yung sun ( diba yun po yung GI and Background under environment) pati yung physical cam off din tulad nung nasa tutorial ninyo.. na try kuna din i on physical cam pro maliwanag prn at wala man yung ilaw..

bro you have to know na yung mga ies data na available sa net iba iba. meron eksakto meron na hindi.

ganito gawin mo.

first step. be sure hinid naka on ang sun. hinid lang untick. look at the " M" symbol dapat none ang nandun at maliit na "m". this is a bug actually. sun still appearing kahit na untick mo na sya. so dapat wala talagang sky or whatever duon. choose non. then untick.

2nd step
kung overexpose pa. babaan ang multiplier. start with 1

pag talagang overexpose pa yan go to step 3.

use physical camera.

ganyan din ako nung umpisa...kaya di ma-import ang vismat kasi mababang version ng vray mo subukan mo sa mataas na version aappear yan.kung meron ka material studio pwede mo open dun saka mo copy sa lowest version.open mo both vray mo at material studio saka mo copy lahat ng parameters base sa highest version saka mo save.

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask about vray for sketchup translucency. I made a roman blind model, however when I tried the instruction for translucent materials found in the vray manual the result is confusing. I do get some translucence in my material, however it seems that it is not true to what I was expecting.


Here's the result I got. The middle part of the curtain is darker than the edges... Diba dapat the farther the edges are in a translucent material the lighter it becomes. Here's a reference pic I'm trying to imitate.



Here is the material setting I have.


I used that for the vray2sidedmaterial as front and back material.

Hope you can enlighten me on this, thanks!

for me i will uncheck tranlucency.. matagal magrender. so just use vray2sided material it will serve he same purpose. then play on the gray option..

sir nomer setting ko po sa interior tutorial... ayaw prin pumasok ng light.. mali yata setting ko sa translucent.. pa help po...thankss




@grappy sir eto setting ko..

@lorhisuka Try to set your refraction transparency to black, maybe that will allow more light to get through.

@Sir Nomer, thanks for that info, will try what you said, I would have never thought that, by the book kasi masyado ako

^sir black original nyan pero ganun padin hindi makapasok yung light.. help po mga masters...!

lorhisuka wrote:^sir black original nyan pero ganun padin hindi makapasok yung light.. help po mga masters...!

Head scratcher naman yan, hinde kasi ako master... anyway, sa napansin ko, everytime I put a translucent curtain sa window, as in fully covered yung window (edge to edge) drastically talaga dumidilim yung scene ko, which is expected na effect ng curtain na translucent. Siguro the question sayo is... baka masyado mo expect that light will get through without dispersing? Maybe post a pic of the before and after shot of your scene... para makita natin kung normal lang ba yung nangyayari sa scene mo...

ok sir i will try to fix ulit yung scene ko experimnet mode muna ako habang wala pa advice mga masters natin dito.. thanks anyway bro

@grappy sir eto setting ko..

use double sided material instead of translucent material. kung gusto mo tl;aga translucent then. play mo yung settings. hanggang pumasok yung light.

I think yan na ang sagot Sir nomeradona

mga sir, newbie question, panu po mag scale ng vray material? kase sobrang liit ng scale eh pag render. i'm using version 1.00. thanks in advance po.

adjust mo yung UV ng material sa material editor.

i guess hindi nakalink or walang opacity map. kung gumagamit ka ng 2d texture. tingnan mo yung previous entry sa Qand A nato meron something about the opacity map sa trees.

thanks sir nomer.. samantalahin ko na po, bout displacement, sample ung grass, 2 scenarios, may existing skp file ako with my model (ayaw tumalab), pero kung sa new skp file ako nagrender, gumagana, same settings naman. anu po kaya prob? super newbie questions sir sensha. thanks po uli.

sir another question, ung fake IES ba pwede sa version 1.49.84?

jar.. baka magkaiba yung scale...

be sure nakagroup ang ididisplace mo.

yes fake ies can work with any version.

^ ok sir ttry ko uli.. bout sa IES, di ko pa din magawa.. here's what i did. after ko iset up ung omni light, inversed, intensity 30, inside ng receptacle:
1. created face, i grouped it.
2. import diffuse image (jpeg) as texture, to both faces.
3. then linked material.
4. then sa mat'l editor: Color - M (jpeg) Transparency - M (png)

may kulang pa ba sir nomer? or may maling step ako nagawa? sensha na po dami tanong. thanks.

linked materials? so yung pinakalumang vray pala to...minsan kasi napaka buggy nito kaya hinid ko ginamit talaga.. baki hinid ka nalang mag 1.5.. para libre naman yung upgrade nyan...

ah baka kaya ayaw. sige sir try ko mag upgrade tapos subukan ko uli ung ies. salamats!
