How to create a floor reflection in SketchUp - Skill Builder

[@Mike-ke1nm]

Thanks Aaron, you always deliver great material and very well explained

[@HistoricHomePlans]

Very cool! There's always something new to learn. I figured out the mirrored component trick on my own a few years back when I did a house model with a swimming pool and wanted it to reflect in the water. But I didn't realize you could apply textures to the backside of a surface, plus make a 100% transparent texture. Thanks for that!

[@MCBob-nh4cr]

Dope! New to C.A.D and I love these tutorials!

[@danterusso6354]

Another great video. I am glad that I subscribed!!!

[@CanukWoodChuck]

Very cool, thanks Aaron. Merry Christmas. Have a great holiday season

Bruce Beatty Thabk Bruce! You too!

[@malcolmnex9297]

This technique is badass!

[@Skans-Gustav]

Impressive, thanks for showing this.

[@jvgardens1826]

really liked the tutorial to create the effect of a reflection in the model

[@devenshah3061]

Really cool technique. Thanks Aaron.🙂

[@RedKingsLive]

Very cool! Thanks Aaron!

[@gusbert]

Nice! Simulation of rendering in SU is always good.

[@dimitri_43]

Nice mirror :) i gone try this for sure:)

[@crystanubis]

7:50 You could always put something under mark, maybe a rectangle that matches the default ground color.

[@CoryDiRecife]

Actually I had this very same idea some years ago, based on the similar concept of the mirror wall process already shown in Quick Wins. Guess I had suggested it to Aaron... It's neat to find out what one can do by exploring the native tools.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

Cori Correa Native tools rule!!!

Hey. I am new to all of this Sketchup and I am blown away how easy is to bring ideas to 3D with it. Currently I am working on a concep that requires superimposed a floor and a subfloor. I want to simulate (I actually do not know if this is something S can do) a dynamic movement of a weight over the top floor making it flex (think of this behavior as walking on a jumping-net). As the weight displaces over it and then rebound back as it leaves the spot. Thanks

[@jerryodom8194]

You have two components when you zoom out. Is there any way to do this without showing the second component?

[@icazuchi]

WILL SKETCHUP EVER HAVE REFLECTIVE MATERIALS IN THE FUTURE?

[@AaronMakingStuff]

Nicholas Holden Not likely. SketchUp is a modeler, not a renderer. We leave that to the rendering experts!

[@w.binder-freecadchannel]

Very nice! 👍 👍 👍

[@SketchupStyle]

You could have made this video in under a minute. But the idea is valid. Thank you

[@marakony]

7:34 you could draw a plane under Mark's feet. The plane would block the view partially so you could see Mark's reflection only on the floor.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

marakony Good thinking!

[@cccpeua227]

wow!!! parece mágica. sensacional !

[@LT72884]

In physics its specular and diffuse reflection, kind of. You could also call it active reflection since its actively reflecting whats below it.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

LT72884 That’s the term I was using!

[@LT72884]

@@AaronMakingStuff lol, see, your a engineer and physics dude at heart.

[@sergiopereira4798]

Think if you added fog it would have made the bottom fade away ... maybe could have added to the effect ?

[@driftsmith117]

Thanks loved it

[@zahari_s_stoyanov]

Would be nice to add real reflections though. Nothing too fancy, just a "single-stage"(if you're looking at a surfaced, defined as reflected, reflect stuff)!

[@Electric-Bob]

How on earth did you figure that out!?

[@SketchUp]

[] < The Box Aaron > :-)

[@doftpeters]

Love it !!

[@kongwong7487]

Amazing

[@mingchan9228]

7:13 I see you are a man of culture :3

[@jennychung2888]

Interesting 👍🏻

[@mattvis141]

Dynamic components programming series please!!

[@AaronMakingStuff]

Matt Visintainer Consider it on the list!

[@marwandesigns1765]

very nice

[@chrisb3927]

Great!!!!!! Thank you.

[@felipeantoniopena]

feliz natal meu amigo

[@ABFextension]

wow! wow

[@deformedcube]

when did wolverine started to teach sketchup ?

[@madwani]

Nice Aaron... Call it Shining the Floor. Can you believe that just recently I have discovered a new way to draw a rectangle more precisely. I guess it should be on your next quick win vid.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

madwani I love that there is always more to learn in SketchUp!

[@zulkifli4270]

Cool

[@stellab8003]

cool

[@georgenavarrete8855]

Niceeeee! simulation.

[@yingyang1716]

Little confused when I used the Windows SketchUp.

[@Midhunvarkeychan]

Wow

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Vampire Reflection.

[@rollstuhlmeister]

Quasi-reflections

[@AaronMakingStuff]

Music & Lunacy I like that term!!

[@jubairahmed9833]

ha ha!!! hi Mark

Tfs

[@icazuchi]

ACTUALLY, WILL SKETCHUP EVER HAVE A BUILT IN RENDER PACKAGE? ITS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME, WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO ADD VALUE TO SKETCHUP AGAIN. EVERY YEAR THE UPDATES GET LESS AND LESS ENTICING. REFLECTIVE SURFACES AND BUILT IN RENDERING SHOULD BE PART OF SKETCHUP BY NOW.

[@marwandesigns1765]

very nice
