Vray Question

[AkaBear]

I am having my first try at some simple experimental Vray renders and have run into a couple of issues.

When I have applied materials to a number of faces and render it is fine. When I change these faces with alternate materials, it still works ok. But when I then try to use a Sketchup material and/or a jpeg texture via the sketchup menu (not the Vray menu), the Vray seems not to notice the exchanged texture.

Yet it will recognise the texture if it is never changed at commencement of a new file and render.

Any suggestions?

What V-Ray version do you use? The various version can behave very differently.

Using the demo version 1.05.03 and a few days into it. Although have done an aweful lot of reading, I guess I have a very long way to go.

I find some textures apply to the model and display as a colour. But some don't. I also find that I end up with multiple materials on a face sometimes and the only way to avoid this is to start with a blank and adulterated model if wishing to change materials.

Is there a workaround for this?

Are any of the textures TIFF by any chance?

Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure what you mean by this.
