V-Ray for Sketch Up suggestions

[dmiko]

Hello,
while trying VRay for Sketchup I have came up with two improvements.

1. When I try to save material as .vrmat file it duplicates all textures into maps folder. This is very impractical as I use some textures from other Folder. Could you please add an option for vray not to create maps folder and duplicate textures. Actually I think you can make it default, I cannot imagine anyone would find arbitrary folder creation as user friendly.



2. In Vray for MODO you can set up ray traced rounded edges independent from normal and bump map. Correct me if I am wrong but Sketch up Vray can use only one bump or normal map at one time.



Cheers,
Daniel

Hello, Daniel,

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

1. The decision to save to disk all associated texture map files when exporting .vrmats is maintained by our observation of support requets. It is unlikely to have optional map export introduced for .vrmats but we'll keep a note if in case we decide to redesign the workflow in any way.

2. This is achievable, however, the implementation is not straight-forward and will require some additional effort to design it properly. I've logged it as a feature request.

Kind regards,
Peter
