how to use the material

[Andry]

Hi I'm new in v-ray (for sketch up) and I'm trying to get the materials right.

I've downloaded some materials from this site (v-ray materials) and i want to use them in sketch up when rendering. When I render the image the downloaded material doesn't appear as it must. Only the color does appear. exp ( I apply the leather material to a couch when rendering, the couch only turns on the color of the leather. but you will not noticed that it's a leather couch.
can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank you in addvance

Re: how to use the material

thats becoz u got to reload the image files in the corresponding slots...
for example the leather material has a diffuse map which u will have to load in the appropriate slots.. u can fnd these slots where u see a capital M...
similarly u gotta do the same for the bump, reflections (if any..) etc...
