Vray License Server Download

Hi,I have dabbled with Vray but after discovering that there are very few materials supplied with the SketchUp version, I quickly became frustrated. I can't believe such an expensive piece of software expects the end user to scavange for, or have to create, nearly all their own materials. After seeing that there was quite a good selection of materials available for 3DS Max I downloaded the free Material Studio program from AGSvis to convert these for use with SketchUp.

A good idea if it worked, but it doesn't. When you try to import these converted files you just keep getting the error message that it is an 'Invalid file type'. If anybody knows how to get this program to work correctly I would appreciate it. I accept, but doubt, that it is user error.

Other users seem to have the same problem.Even if it did work, I was still put off by the fact you can't actually view vray textures on your model in the viewport.You can only see them when rendered. That seems like software that was released before it was fit for use.A real shame, because good Vray renders look superb.If I have got anything wrong here I am more than happy to stand corrected.RegardsMr S. I downloaded the material studio and have used it exclusively for all my Vray materials. The materials that come with Vray for Sketchup are not very good and I like having the control of making my own materials. Once you get the hang of it you can make and edit materials quickly. Not to mention you can start to build a nice library to use on other projects.

Typically the materials that come with any program are alright but not great, plus it is always a good idea to make your own materials and not just stock stuff. It will separate your work from other who could be using the exact same materials you are. Just good practice all around.Scott. Hi Scott,Well, that means I must be doing something wrong.I downloaded Material Studio. Las terrazas apartments. No documentation was supplied with it.I assumed it was so straightforward to use, it didn't need any!I have download materials fromThese are for use with 3DS MAX.All I did was to load the individual parts, diffuse image, bump map and displacement map, if provided, in to the appropriate slots in Material Studio. I clicked on Preview and everything looked fine. I then clicked on 'Save as Package'.

However, when I try to import the.vismat file within SketchUp I just get the 'Invalid file type' error.I am using the latest version of SketchUp and Material Studio. The image textures are 1024px square.Any ideas where I have gone wrong?Thanks.Mr S. Hi Scott,I will try making materials today from my own images rather than the 3DS MAX ones.Did you read the method I was using previously.

Does it look right to you?I am using MaterialStudio v01.00.07. Is this the version you are using?-Hi chango70,ASGvis have just completely revamped their website and I can't find any links relating to Material Studio.As Scott seems to be having no problem with it I can't believe it has been 'pulled' for some reason.My problems seem to be down to my own user error.I could upload it somewhere for you to download but I'm not sure if thats legal.It is a free download from ASGvis but would they be upset about me doing this?Can anyone enlighten me on this?RegardsMr S.

Thats right.The materials at are for use with 3DS MAX.Thats why I downloaded and tried to convert them for use with SketchUp.I didn't actually try to convert the native 3DS.mat files.I simply reloaded the bitmap files, diffuse, bump and reflection in to Material Studio, generated the preview image which looked great (see attached), and then 'Saved as Package' which creates a.vismat file together with the bitmap files.But when I attempt to import the.vismat file in to Vray for SketchUp it informs me that it is an invalid ASGvis.vismat file.I'm back to square one!RegardsMr S. Mr S,Alright it sounds like you are still having some issues. I will try to be as descriptive as possible.Open the material editorRight click on 'Scene Materials' and select 'add material' and then 'AddVrayMtl'. As a heads up, the Material Studio that you guys are referring to does NOT convert 3DS Max materials to be compatible with Vray for Sketchup. It is for making your own materials as Scott said.

ASGvis has put out a Material Converter for this purpose, but this requires you to have a copy of Max on your computer as the conversion is done inside of 3DS. Still with this method, you would only be able to convert those materials that do not have attributes that are not supported in sketchup, i.e. Fur, toon, etc.

The material converter is here.and here's a thread with a discussion about how to use the converter and issues users are having, as well as a bunch of successfully converted material.
