Hi  
In beta2 I’ve created materials with color correction + bitmap.  
Now all materials created as above, are regular bitmap with file path - C:/Program Files/Chaos Group/V-Ray/V-Ray 3.4 for SketchUp/extension/ruby/resources/V-Ray Procedural Texture.png. I’ve lost color correction.  
Why?  
Should I create them once again?

Please try applying the following snippet of ruby **before** activating the beta scene (open it but don’t push any V-Ray buttons). Open the ruby console (window \> ruby console) and paste in the following snippet of code to upgrade the texture helpers

Sketchup.active\_model.materials.each{|m|  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if m.texture && File.basename(m.texture.filename) == “V-Ray Procedural Texture.png”  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VRay::TextureHelper.create(m)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end  
}

I haven’t been able to test this thoroughly so if it does not work for you please send us the scene in question (or a sample .skm sketchup material file)

Bare in mind that if you have saved the file after having imported in the the released product, the lost assets will not be recoverable.

Sorry for delay. Your solution works perfect!!! Thank You VERY MUCH !!! Before convertion You have to remember the width and height of texture (if different of standard Sketchup - 25,4 cm)
