Hi,

I’m new to vray for sketchup, but learning every day. I have one major problem, and that is the .vismat materials from [asgvis.com](http://asgvis.com) and other sites like grass and wood that isn’t visible in the rendering!?.

In material Editor I right click on scene materials and then load material. I pick a material like grass and then click on preview, but all I see is a dark ball, not looking like grass or wood floor if I have picked that.

Materials like carpaint work, but not materials like grass and wood where an image texture is used.

What am I doing wrong? Preciate some help.

Another thing, every time I pick a material I have to wait a while before it shows up in the scene materials, and sketcup don’t want to respond. Is this natural or just because slow computer?
