Hi, im new to rendering with vray next in sketchup. Every time i try and insert an ies lighting file it doesn’t work. It inserts the file, but when i render no light shows up in the render. Has anyone else had a similar issue with vray next ?
IES lights are different from the lights included with V-Ray. Quick example, this is what an IES light that I just downloaded is supposed to look like from the manufacturer:
This is what it looks like when imported and rendered. Nothing there right?
Actually I have facing some issues with Vray for sketchup, Whenever I Import the materials in vray but material are doesn’t show in vray liabrary, And second issue is whenever I used IES lights, Dome lights, Spot lights and Omni lights in models but whenever I go for rendering in vray the at time of rendering those lights are doesn’t show. Some lights are show
IES lights need high values in their intensity in in order to show up. Try either entering in a really high value…like 100,000 or more and see what happens.
I just ‘wiped’ all of the V-Ray data from your model and replaced the lights fresh and new. They all seem to work fine for me. I can’t tell you unfortunately why they may not be showing up on your end.
You can try adding these lights into your model and see if they work. They should drop right into place so be sure to ‘paste in place’ after copying. Also, you may have to ‘repath’ to your own dome light or HDRI that you download from Chaos Cosmos. Lights.skp (618.4 KB)
