Sketch-Up Renderers

One of the longtime limitations of working with SketchUp in designing for film and television has been the final output of the program. As powerful as SketchUp is as a modeling tool, and as dynamic as the animations and moving sections can be, the image output from SketchUp has been limited to a shaded polygon model or one lit by a single source (the sun). Even the models lit by the sun are relatively flat and lifeless, without any change of val…

Interactive 3D Visualization of Building Envelope Systems Using Infrared Thermography and Sketch Up

…able than a more abstract 2D representation (like a floor plan or an image). A method will be presented to apply IR images to simplified exterior and interior models of a building using the freely available 3D modeler Google SketchUp. A variety of common application scenarios will be presented and examples for these will be shown. In addition, the viability of exploring the 3D model interactively and on the web will be discussed.

Using HDRI in Vray SketchUp

Using HDRI in Vray SketchUp. HDRI stands for High Dynamic Range Imaging. It is a technique that allows a larger span or range of luminance between the light and dark areas of an image. You can use Photoshop or Photomatix to create HDRI. For this tutorial, I will not talk about how to create them but rather how to use them in Vray SketchUp. Word from author “Let me begin this tutorial by using this simple SketchUp setup composing of different typ…
