Buffer Overrun Errors, Accurender Material Duplication, and Render Time

[dionserra]

Hello. A few questions...

Sketch-Up Pro v6.0.1099
iRender Plus

1. Have any of you ran into a "buffer overrun" error before? I get
this message whether I attempt to render or attempt to use the iRender
Material Mapping function. I have tried to purge everything I can out
of the model, but nothing has worked. I have ran into this error with
multiple models now.

2. I can import the "buffer overrun" model into a new model and remap
every SketchUp material, but I lose any scenes I had saved. If I
render and go back into iRender Material Mapping function then I get
numerous repeats of in-model materials with only one SketchUp material
mapped with an iRender/Accurender material.

i.e...
""""""""glass, smooth"""""""" --> accurender:glass, blue
''''glass, smooth'''
glass, smooth

I believe I saw this occurence before I started to recieve "buffer
overrun" errors.

3. I made a test render over the weekend for an exterior shot which
included accurender trees with a "High" quality setting at 2000x1000
pixels and no additional light fixtures, but I ended up with a render
that took 31 hours! I can export the model into AutoCAD and use
Accurender and get faster times. Does anyone know why Accurender is
faster than iRender with essentially the same model?

4. I recieved the material add-on library after purchasing the
license to iRender. When I run through the setup and have the
libraries installed on my computer I find more than half of the
materials do not find their respective maps. The missing maps are
linked to random drives and folders which don't exist anywehere, but
the maps are in my library folder if I repath everything. Is there
any way to mass relink tha materials or have them link properly from
the setup?

5. Can the ledalite light fixture library which comes with the
library setup be used in iRender? I know with Accurender you can
import ready-made fixtures from manufacturers like Ledalite, but I
don't see how to do it with SketchUp.

Any help would greatly be appreciative. Thanks.
