Architectural Visualization with V-Ray for SketchUp

VRay with SketchUp

“I hope that this course has helped you to establish a first contact with Vray and that you have learned to maintain an organized model. If from the beginning we invest a little time in the SketchUp model, we quickly get a good result in the images that we want to show our clients. During the course we have seen how to create the scenes, illuminate them and apply materials. This method is a recommendation, but keep in mind that you will constantly improve and correct the lighting, materials or point of view. The important thing is to know how to explain the project. Now we are going to review the steps that I have followed to achieve a realistic image with Vray. You can use the same image as me to practice what you have learned, but it would also be great if you did your project with a different reference image, using other types of spaces or environments that you would like to work with. Position the camera to create scenes Position the camera to get the best views so that your project stands out and is well understood when teaching it.

Brighten the scenes Add lighting to your image, both in day and night mode. Apply materials Apply the materials that come by default in Vray to your SketchUp file. Edit in “Frame buffer” and retouch in Photoshop Edit your image by configuring the various Frame Buffer parameters. Then save the image with the types of formats that we saw in Unit 3. Finally, work in Photoshop to give the final touches to your image and get the best final finish. When you finish your project, share it on the forum. It would be great to be able to see both the final result and the different stages of creation of your project. It will surely be very enriching for everyone. It has been a pleasure to share my knowledge with you, if you have any questions I will be happy to help you. Remember that together we can also solve doubts in the forum, so we all learn!”

“Final project We're at the end of this Domestika course. I'll do a summary of everything we've learned. I began discussing my professional career and the profiles in the world of design that most inspire me. I showed how to organize the SketchUp model so that its workflow with V-Ray is more agile. We then saw how the interface works. I presented the lighting tools we find in this software. Then I showed you how to position your camera to create scenes that we then illuminated. The next step consisted of applying the V-Ray materials of our model and editing them in the Frame Buffer. To finis...”
