ASGVIS Downloaded Materials Render Black - HELP!

V-Ray for SketchUp V-Ray for SketchUp :: General
1

Hello,

I am new to using VRAY (trial) for SketchUp and have downloaded the latest versions of both…
I downloaded some materials off of the ASGVIS website and have inserted the .vismat files in the Material Editor by doing the following:

-Right click on Scene Materials
-Click on Load Material
-Select .vismat file

Now when I click on the loaded material at the bottom of the list, if I hit “preview”, the little preview ball at the top left turns black every time - no matter what material I use. The only material that appears to render is glass. Even when I hit render on my actual model, the materials I used stay black and do not render correctly.

Please help! I must be missing something, and I am thinking it has to do with the fact that a .jpg or image of the actual material is not coming through into SketchUp, but I have no idea how to go about fixing this… Thanks so much!

Check the diffuse layer when you apply the .vismat
under the diffuse layer click “m”
then apply a texbitmap, select the file location of that material and re-apply its .jpg file

I don’t know any other work around for this one.
the latest version is .95
