⚠️ This version is now obsolete . It does not work with modern SketchUp versions (2017 onwards). For current workflows, use V-Ray 5 or V-Ray 6 for SketchUp.
The "RQMC Sampler" (Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo) in this build was notoriously sensitive. Achieving a noise-free image often required a delicate dance between the "Adaptive Amount" and "Noise Threshold." This sensitivity forced users to understand the physics of light, making 1.49.02 a rigorous training ground for render artists.
: Introduced core photorealistic capabilities like global illumination and advanced material settings to SketchUp users. Modern Compatibility
: As of 2026, the current standard is V-Ray 7 , which supports modern hardware (RTX GPU acceleration), real-time rendering via V-Ray Vision, and SketchUp 2026 compatibility . Summary for Archivists
