V-Ray Lights not working for me

[Sbecker]

Dear Fellow SketchUp Users,

I am somewhat new to Sketchup. I have started to play with the V-ray Materials using a model I made, clad in Cosmos material. It looks great when I do a test run, as far as materials, but now I need to light the scene properly.

My Ball lights work. My rectangle light is very dim and COOL despite my efforts to brighten/warm it up, and my Omni (which I really need) is dim/off.

To sort of test what is going on, I built a box in another file.
I also read about the lights and how to utilize them here:
(Omni Light - V-Ray for SketchUp - Global Site)

I will upload my LightsPractice-testing ground, which only has one Omni, supposedly turned all the way up and Red.

lightPractice.skp (144.8 KB)
Kitchen.skp (2.1 MB)

I will also upload the kitchen test I'm playing with. I'd love to get this working and make a rendering.

Thank you

I moved your omnilight up so it wasn’t embedded in the floor and raised the intensity from 2000 to 20000.

Color set to white, Intensity set to 2000 and Units to Radiant Power (W).

Ok, wow, Dave.
I’m a little embarrassed that the light was IN the ground.

I’m loving the radiant Units. As always, that you so much.
