It is always wise to set the camera view, a scene, first before rendering. The model can be completed from Revit or directly from SketchUp. You need to complete the 3D model in detail.
VRAY FOR SKETCHUP TUTORIAL VIDEO HOW TO
In the previous lecture, I showed how to import the Revit model to the SketchUp model and apply the SketchUp material.

I only added SketchUp Glass on the model. This tutorial will demonstrate how you create a rendering based on the Eames House 3D model from the Revit model. Using a completed Revit model for better rendering results, you can use V-RAY after building all of the models and then applying materials and lighting through V-RAY. For example, if you directly build all of the models in the SketchUp file and apply the materials while modeling, you can use the V-RAY at any time, even at the beginning of the modeling. How do we prepare your SketchUp model for a V-RAY rendering? It depends on your process of work. Render setting for a REALTIME V-RAY RENDER – a preview mode Additionally, you can adjust the rendered image with various tools, like exposure level, white balance, hue/saturation, levels, and curve. To open advance edit mode, click a small arrow on the right side of the Asset Editor.įrame Buffer window allows you to see the render process and result and save the render results in different image formats, such as JPG, PNG, TIFF, and more. To open the material library, click a small arrow on the left side of the material Asset Editor. Also, you can start to render and open frame buffers to see the results. You can deal with materials, lightings, objects, and render settings.You can create, save, open, and adjust the settings in this window. V-Ray for SketchUp – Asset Editor, Render button, Realtime render button, Batch Render, Show Frame Buffers, lock the scene for real-time renderĪsset Editor is the most frequently used interface that you will work with.There are three floating toolbars in version 3. This toolbar includes the most commonly used tool for users. You can see the light travelling through the material and how it creates a more realistic effect.\)įor more information about the interface – refer to this V-Ray Sketchup Interface guide Pay attention to the curtain with two sided material. So a curtain Object with Two Sided Material creates the perfect realistic result you need to improve realism in your render.

In real life, curtains are hit sunlight as it travels in from the windows. To achieve this realistic result on your curtain, it needs to be close to a light source. Tip Number One: Use two sided Material on your curtain.

Now that we know what a V-ray Two Sided Material is, let me show you where and how to use it to improve your interior lighting. Also, The material can be made visible only from one side by having its Front material slot empty and the Back material slot filled in.Ĭlick Here for more information on V-ray Two Sided Material. Otherwise it can lead to extremely longer render times.

This material will give best results when assigned to single-sided objects like planes, extruded splines, etc. Two very important things to remember about the Two Sided Material.
