Good Materials??

Hi, I’m very new to Vray for sketchup - just at the very early experimental stage. I’m having some trouble finding good materials. Can anybody point me in the right direction??

Thank you

Re: Good Materials??

Thank you Alrami. excellent link! ;D

Re: Good Materials??

Can anybody tell me if the following link contains materials suitable for Vray for sketchup?

http://software.asgvis.com/index.php?option=com\_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=439&Ctitle=Materials

I tried to download a grass texture but when i tried to import it into my model it just said invalid vismat file.

Re: Good Materials??

James, don’t forget to look into the material settings. You will learn allot. I’ll search for more, but it will take a while. I have to dig hard in the forum, but it’s all in here…somewere :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Good Materials??

I have learnt how to edit my own materials but I was just wondering why this particular material may not be working. Thank you for another good link ;D

Re: Good Materials??

Stefanq, thank you for your endeavours but after downloading that matrial library - when i try to import any of those materials i’m gettin the same error message ‘invalid asgvis material file’.

I’m not sure how to use these materials. I have set up a scene with materials I have created myself but I would like to experiment with some ready made downloadable materials.

Cheers :slight_smile:

Re: Good Materials??

If anybody could shed any light on the above it would be much appreciated. I really dont know how to import these materials into my model. Could it be that they dont work with the older version of Vray? ???

Re: Good Materials??

I think you need to use the last release of vray.

Re: Good Materials??

Ah right… thank you. I shall look into this
