Re: all vray for sketchup settings eplained in one thread

1.49.84 core renders fast enough for me, the newer versions are so slow, cant believe it. i took a test of the latest version and the parsing time is like 10 minutes for simple scenes but ama post all from now on, i think thats best. thanks to everyone here. i find this forum the most helpfull forum online.

What? The latest version takes longer to render? Are you sure? 1.49.84 doesn't exist, so I don't know what the "old" version was that you were using... The latest version of V-Ray for SketchUp is 1.48.66, and I haven't heard anyone complain that it's slower... are you sure that you had it set up properly, or that you had the right version?

He's refering to the core version - of V-Ray itself. The one that appear when you add the render time in the VFB. The very first version had that number I believe.

oh the number that means absolutely nothing, and shouldn't even ever be mentioned or available as a feature because it's misleading and pointless? Good.

Re: all vray for sketchup settings eplained in one thread

trust me you guys the fastest version for me has been 1.49.84. i think thats the core, dnt have my laptop on me. 1.05.30 and the latest versions render ok wen u have a very small modell but it takes forever wen u have a good size model. but the old version for sketchup 6 has no problems. doesnt even take more than 10 seconds to start working. i have another post on this forum i need help with but am trying to arrange all my settings so i can post it. but out of curiosity, what operating systems are you guys using? am using windows 7 ultimate and a acer 4420 duAL CORE LAPTOP

the very first version? how many versions for sketchup have there been since that core? when did it come out? i have been reading posts from 2007 on this forum and i see some great renders using that core on the forum. i think it works ok but idk. i love the quality and new addition of options to the new versions but cant seem to get my work done on time using them. what do all you guys think?

Re: all vray for sketchup settings eplained in one thread

You have the very first version. I did not say any version number.

Then you had the first service release - 1.00.74 - version number in the About section of the Options Window
Then you had the second service release - 1.05.03 - version number in the About section of the Options Window

Then you have the last release, which was a rewrite to add OSX support: 1.48.66 - Version number is in the Extension list of SU when you select the item say "V-Ray for Sketchup"

Re: all vray for sketchup settings eplained in one thread

also the multipliers for the primary and secondary engine, how do they control my renders?

Re: all vray for sketchup settings eplained in one thread

The latest version has tooltips that explain a lot of the controls. Just hover over a control to learn more about it. Otherwise, go to http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150SP1/ for the actual V-Ray documentation. It will really help you understand how this plugin works.
