Works with SketchUp 7 and 8 (will not run on SketchUp 6 or lower). Why You Should Consider Modern Alternatives
The foundation of VRay 1.49.02 relies on the classic VRay core, optimized specifically for SketchUp's unique 3D environment. Global Illumination (GI) Engines Vray 1.49.02 for Sketchup
: Added support for PNG files and improved material handling, though it suffered from a "regression bug" that prevented copying/pasting materials between models.
Manages how shiny a surface is. It utilizes the Fresnel reflection model, ensuring that surfaces become more reflective when viewed at grazing angles (essential for realistic wood, plastic, and glass). This public link is valid for 7 days
Render complex lighting scenarios using basic SketchUp geometry.
One of the most powerful features was the V-Ray Physical Camera, which simulated a real-world DSLR camera. Instead of relying on arbitrary digital brightness sliders, users controlled scene exposure using real photographic principles: Can’t copy the link right now
Displacement creates real 3D geometry at render time based on a grayscale texture map. In version 1.49.02, aggressive displacement can quickly exhaust system RAM. Use for minor surface textures (like fine plaster or wood grain) and reserve Displacement strictly for heavy textures like deep stone walls or rough terrain. Resolution of Textures
: The dedicated window where your rendered image appears and where you can perform basic post-processing. 2. Core Workflow Steps
Before launching V-Ray, ensure your SketchUp model is clean.
