Sketchup vray install#
To get started, you'll need to download and install V-Ray for SketchUp, then authorize it before you can dig in. Designed to fit right within your SketchUp workflow, V-Ray Next for SketchUp gives you the. We'll only be discussing the usage of V-Ray for SketchUp in this article. V-Ray Next for SketchUp is more than just a rendering engine. Besides this extension for use with SketchUp, they have other rendering solutions as well which aren't part of the SketchUp Studio collection. Using Dome light set-up, the lights come from HDRI map as direct light, and all effects like shadows, reflection, etc… will be apparent.V-Ray 5 for SketchUp is a popular rendering package by Chaos Group, a 3rd party. This can be illustrated in test render sample (see image 2.0/ Setting 2.1.B and Setting 2.2.B). The shadow in Dome light+ HDRI set-up appears to be smoother than V-Ray sun setting. Follow the parameters set-up I made for this test render experiment (See image 2.1 Dome light Setting). To change the parameters for Dome light follow the procedures: under ‘V-Ray Asset Editor’> go to ‘Lights’> click the V-Ray Dome light> under Light dome, you can see two main parameters (Main and Options).
In order to set-up the Dome light: click the Dome light icon and place it in your SketchUp scene. Thus, optimizing the Dome light settings is important in order to produce a suitable environment in relation to HDRI map. Using V-Ray for SketchUp, when loading a Dome light+ HDRI in default setting, the render result will be darker in nature (See image 2.0/ Setting 2.1.A). In comparison to Dome light and V-Ray Environment settings, the shadow appeared to be sharper when rendered using V-Ray Sun and sky system. However, when you turn on the GI Skylight option and choose the V-Ray sky as the light source, the render result will be similar to V-Ray default settings. Under Environment Overrides, the GI Skylight is technically turned off in default settings. Toggle, orbit, adjust lighting, and color-correct your models within seconds in the V-Ray Vision window while you work in SketchUp. If you go to V-Ray Asset Editor> Settings> Environment> Background, you can see that the default background is set to V-Ray Sky or technically the V-Ray Sun (V-Ray sunlight). Explore your SketchUp models in a game-like environment with instant rendering capabilities and alternative viewports via a live link with SketchUp. When set in default setting, notice the sunlight is enabled. In V-Ray default setting, V-Ray Sun and V-Ray Sky are special features which are provided by the V-Ray Renderer. For V-Ray Environment with HDRI texture, the test render will highlight the possible output when render in optimized setting using HDRI as the light source and V-Ray sun as an additional light source.
For V-Ray dome light with HDRI texture, a comparison test render was made using default setting and optimized setting.

I also added a Sphere model inside the scene with silver polished material in order to see the reflection of the sky.įor V-Ray Sun and Sky System, I set up a basic scene in default setting and lit it a couple of different ways, (enabling and disabling) V-Ray sun, background, and GI (Skylight). The leading 3D renderer for SketchUp Pro, featuring photo-realistic rendering, HDRI, free floating licenses and more. In order to fully understand the possible render output in V-Ray using various environment settings such as V-Ray Sun and Sky, Domelight+ HDRI and V-Ray Environment + HDRI, I made a simple rendering experimentation that highlights different parameters or settings which generally affect the tonality and atmosphere of the rendered image output.ĭuring the test render experimentation, I enabled the material override and set the water pool to “Can be Overridden”.
