Quirk with sun and sky settings.

[asimovpunch]

Hello!

I have been going along self-instructing by the ASGVIS Vray for Sketchup manual and I have come to PG. 78 (for those who have it handy) and I have completed all the settings (or so I think) as described to create a morning sun effect. But, everytime I render, Vray renders an entirely white image. I set the settings in Sketchup and then mended "Environment" settings under Render Options in Vray. I'm fairly certain I did it all correctly.

Anyone receive this kind of effect and know how to remedy it?

Thank you!!!

Do you have physical camera on?

I can only assume that I don't. Is that a necessity? And if so, what kinds of settings should be in place?

Funny - the manual never mentioned toggling the camera. >

At the beginning of the manual, there is an explanation of the default settings which should mention the interdependence of the V-Ray Sun and the physical camera. Having the sun on does not require the physical camera, since it is possible to decrease the intensity of the sun to work with the standard camera. Also, since the physical camera is on by default, you would have to specifically disable the physical camera or load a visopt which did not have it enabled.

Ah - Thank you.

I will check up on those settings.
