When can we expect Next for SketchUp? Looks like an amazing upgrade.

We are working on it, but there is no specific date yet.

Haaaa! I was just logging on to ask the same question. It's great to hear it's in the works. Thanks, Vlado!

Very excited about seeing how much of the new tech we'll be getting in V-ray 'next' for sketchup. Feel free to release some teasers.

(I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a node-based material editor...hey, a man's got to have his dreams, right?...)

Node system is a good dream..

Node system is a good dream..

Or GPU rendering on AMD cards...

peerman at the risk of derailing this thread, what do you currently use as a render solution? I have a similar set up and find that CPU render on SU Vray doesn’t cut it. Render times make it practically unusable. Have resorted to a renderfarm. Compatible GPU renders on Nvidia PC are a fraction of the time. Loathed to move back to PC but currently the only option if using VRAY/Sketchup regularly.

There's a preview event in Boston in June - might have to check it out and let's hope for a update soon.

I have sent you a PM.

Vlado, Will we have Material ID with GPU?

Hello, Matthew,

Please refer to my reply in https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/...329#post997329 regarding Material ID RE support on GPU.

Kind regards,

Thanks for reminding me of that - forgot we spoke about this already.
