Render of two components into the same scene

Skatter Feature Requests
1

Hello,
I’m Alessandro, I need help for a render I’m trying to do, with vray and sketchup+skatter.
I have a green wall that continues on the floor, so I have two components in the same scene.
But when I start the render, only the vertical surface is rendered correctly, not the floor.
How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot
Warm Regards

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

Check this answer : [Workaround] V-ray 3.6 does not show skatter objects.

Hi Thomas,
thanks a lot for your answer.

It didn’t work, on Ruby Console I got this message
"class VRay::LiveScene::Mesh;def material;get_material(nil);end;end
Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant VRay::LiveScene>

:in `' SketchUp:1:in `eval'"

I’m using Vray 2.0, is it not compatible maybe?

I attached a screen of what happens

Indeed this fix is for V-Ray 3.60.01 only.
V-Ray 2 should be working. Which very exactly do you have?

“Skatter 5” is working great.
This is my setting for “Skatter 6”

Also the preview in the screens above is right, I think
Thanks a lot

Hi Thomas,

I’ve found the solution, trying and trying.
In this case, I had to change the “Random transform” ticking the vertical mirroring and untiking the horizontal one.
Thanks a lot for your attention

Warm Regards
