Overview

Section

V-Ray for SketchUp provides in-built integration with Chaos Cloud Rendering, allowing you to submit render jobs to the cloud directly from SketchUp, using the dedicated Render in Chaos Cloud and Chaos Cloud Batch Render buttons. This page walks you through the steps of doing so.

Chaos Cloud requires the installation of the Chaos Cloud Client application. For more information, please visit the Installation of Chaos Cloud Client page.

If you add a new version of a job you have already submitted, its upload is much quicker than the initial upload. Chaos Cloud compares every new job to the existing ones, and if there is a match the client app uploads only the changes. This is useful when you make a new iteration of an existing scene and is why it's recommended to keep your jobs in Chaos Cloud while you are still working on them.

If there are free resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud starts rendering your job immediately. If there are no free resources, your job joins a queue and starts rendering automatically when resources become available.

  • .vrimg is a Chaos proprietary file format used by the V-Ray Frame Buffer to store the rendered image incrementally (bucket by bucket) while rendering in full floating-point format, with all available render elements. It is used as a render output but it is not recommended to use it as a texture file format. VRIMG contains metadata, i.e. render statistics. It supports dynamic bucket size.

  • If the 'Render in Cloud' and 'Cloud Batch Render' icons remain grey make sure the Interactive render mode in the Asset Editor's 'Settings' panel is turned off.
