Face me objects with V-ray

[joostmee]

Does anyone know how to make the shadows face sun feature of sketchup face me work with v-ray?

In this image the shadows face the sun.

And in this image the shadows DO NOT face the sun. Also I'm not sure why the alpha doesn't show up in the view above this post.

V-Ray does not work in the same manner as SU. In SU you can set the shadow to always face the sun, but V-Ray can't do that.

Not sure why SU doesn't display alpha but V-Ray does though. It's usually the other way around as V-Ray doesn't read the alpha channel automatic.

The alphas probably don't show up because they are v-ray materials.

Time to dust off photoshop...

im having a bit of a problem with 2d people and vray. I place lots of 2d people just to discover, after a long render, that several of them lost their texture when rendered (appear as flat color)

What format are the texture images? Might be that they are of a format which SU supports, but V-Ray doesn't.
