YOUR VIDEOS ARE SOOOO HELPFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Been using sketchup vray for about 2 years now and your tutorials pretty much "easy to follow". ❤

[@magorzatagaecka8708]

May I call you "my Master " from now on? :-) I spent hours and hours playing around with how to avoid bubbles in glass on shower walls on renders. Nothing would help, untill I found this recording. Diagrammatic false glass reduced this issue almost to zero. THANT YOU!

Already done this, thank you so much!
but, I have one more issue about the glass
say I wanna render interior view, and the view facing out to exterior through the glass, when I render and see the render result (.png file) the glass reflection isn't transparent, how to make it transparent too on png? because I wanna add background photo on photoshop app. I can do this in vray 3.4, but in 3.6 it's different. idk why. Please help. Thanks

Sorry - I have no information on why Vray 3.4 and 3.6 would be different in this area...

On these renderings interiors of both buildings seem unnaturally dark on a day scene. Light bulbs barely help. How to solve it in easy way? I would like to make a window in daytime exterior rendering that is both transparent and also reflects surroundings.

I set the thickness, and still can't get it to be transparent. been stcuk and can't render for a few days tryign to find out whats wrong??? I am using the trial and vray 3.6 version sketchup

same here, can't get it to look transparent. Kind of frustating...

[@truthmaterial]

how do i get my glass textures to reflect the environment outside i do not want to see inside my model i want it to reflect the exterior sky clouds patio whatever it is next to. please help!!

[@pd5156]

Use mirror and then fade effect in photoshop. Reflection in glass depends of angle and sun direction. Do You really need have reflection from rendering engine?? Cant You add it in Gimp or Photoshop?

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Can't you also adjust this in the glass settings? I think maybe adjusting the opacity?

[@Dumasher]

i dont know why i have mate window... :(

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

I don't know what this means...
