maica Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi, I've been having problems when rendering my views in VRay. Some of the materials won't show in the reflection. The object reflects but with only the default sketchup material not with the material applied. This often happens to me I attached a sample of the rendered image. [ATTACH=CONFIG]44146[/ATTACH] The graphics and the border of the graphic which is supposed to be metal won't reflect properly on the three mirrors in the image.

luthias42 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The first thought I have is to make sure that all of your materials are vray materials, and that under the options tab that trace reflections is turned on, also make sure that all of your objects are visible to reflections in the object properties. Second, stripe the materials and try making the materials from scratch. I've had problems with bringing materials into max or converting them to vray and not having them work right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maica Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 How do i check the object properties for the materials? I'm just wondering because some of my materials do show, but some don't and a lot of my materials need to come out of my own jpeg files because they are graphics or some special material. And what do you mean by striping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthias42 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 to check the object properties you select the object and then right click and choose "object properties" for materials you open your material editor, select the eyedropper, and click on the object. That will put the assigned material into the material editor and you can edit that material. though be careful if that material is already in the editor and you make adjustments to the one you just brought in it won't take effect, the original material that is still in the editor is still the active one and that is the one that needs to be edited. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M V Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Are you using Vray for SketchUp? If so, then the above answer won't work. I think you need to make sure your faces are forward facing. And use fresnel reflection on your reflection layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrenders Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 just try to put all the objects in frontface, if they are backfaced, it makes normally non correct the reflections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrenders Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 if you don't know if you are working with front or back face, put the monochrome style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
