i have just downloaded vray for skp 7, and in trying to setup the options for a scene, i realised that the gi option is completely greyed out and i cannot click on it. Why is this?
It leaves my scene completely pitch black in the final render.
How do i solve this?
Re: vray for skp 7; environment
Under Indirect illumination menu turn On the GI.

Re: vray for skp 7; environment
I recommend you restore the settings to default and continue from there.
To load the default settings:
In VfSU material editor window, File > restore defaults
Re: vray for skp 7; environment
in the material editor window there’s no file option :-[
Re: vray for skp 7; environment
i found file in the options window and i restored default settings however the gi is turned off again
Re: vray for skp 7; environment
Correct. If you want your background to be vray sky (instead of black), set your background type to Sky.
