3ds Max + SketchUP + Vray Scene

[Robert Lopez]

Hello ! First of all, im robert and im new to this forum, and im new in 3ds max too..i have a question about a problem im having with this render... It seems i cant texture this sketchup model in 3ds max, i can only change the diffuse color... the rectangle thats correctly rendered is a plane created in 3ds max, i cant seem to texture the remaining walls, what am i doing wrong

Welcome Robert!

They need UVs. Something you probably didn't have to worry about in Sketchup. For those walls from Sketchup, add a UV modifier, check "box mapping" and enter x,y and z dimensions for what you want the texture size to be.

Thanks a lot ! Didnt thinked of that

You can map textures to objects in SU and create UVs through this: paint objects (better: face selection) with image textures and set up the proper dimensions in the settings of each texture (real world scale). Objects will come in mapped in 3DS and you can change materials there.

 

 

Eg. give the facade a brick material with 5x5m length in SU and change it in 3DS.

 

 

 

Easy way to even rotate textures on faces too.

 

 

Note: plain colors have NO UV mapping in SU therefor no UV mapping on your objects in 3DS.

Thanks for the tip !
