Unable to render SketchUp models

[brucemaclachlan]

I'm new to V ray and have managed to render basic interiors with great results, but as soon as I start adding furniture, when I then hit render (even at the lowest Output setting), nothing happens, V Ray just refuses to commence.

Is there a way to lower settings even further so that V ray will render something like a dining room or an office?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

What version are you using? This could be an issue due to an older version.

I'm using Sketchup 8

This is an image of the place I'm trying to render.

Even when I just leave the computer alone after clicking render it refuses to even start. I've had this problem on another model as well, one larger than this.

Any help, suggestions would be most welcome

Hi
Place the scene here or send us (ASGVIS) the scene.

Re: Unable to render SketchUp models

Obviously its the problem with the 'furniture' you are using. Did you import the furniture directly from google warehouse? I have always (everytime) done that and resulted in failure on render. Some said its the problem with materials (since a lot of google warehouse's model are not meant to be rendered) while others said its the complexity of the scene for the project. Exploding the downloaded furniture and then regroup seems to solve the problems, mostly.
