Hi Alex How much is cost all sketchup and render .i am a new user, thanks

[@zeyatyetis]

Which plan do i have to get?

[@_SYDNA_]

Thanks. I kjnow this is a simple video, but it's exactly what I needed: What rendering really is, what to expect, workflow and viability. All the "how to import" videos weren't going to help me, until I got this basic intro to help me frame my goals and expectations. Thanks a again.

Layout was, until now, hard to tackle with, this is a great video that encourages me to give layout another try, as sending a model to autocar can be a mess of overlapping lines of all the edges of the 3d model stacking on top of each other in a plan view.

hello vray render is possible or not on ipad pro?

[@SketchUpSchool]

No, V-Ray is an extension that can only be used with the desktop version of SketchUp called SketchUp Pro.

[@tomastelensky-vlog8723]

So, SketchUp doesn't provide realistic enough materials? That's disappointing, because then the changes I have to do in the rendering app (e.g. Blender) will not translate back to the original model, if I need to do any changes there.... 😞

[@SketchUpSchool]

You can import higher resolution/quality materials into SketchUp, but they won't render realistically because there aren't currently any features for materials to reflect or interact with the light in realistic ways.

[@10whiten99]

Is there a walkthrough of using V-ray on this channel?

Hi I'm new to this so I'm planning to buy ipad and I want my project to be realistic So is rendering extension available on ipad as I find ipad more convenient or should I opt for macbook I'm very confused pls help

[@SketchUpSchool]

There is no option to create realistic renderings on the iPad. So if you want to use SketchUp for iPad, you would then need to also work on a computer where you could open your SketchUp file (in SketchUp Pro) and use a photorealistic rendering extension (which can only be added to SketchUp Pro).

[@cekuhnen]

I appreciate the wide display of render engines and not the usual Enscape Lumion Vray … which is so overhyped

[@SketchUpSchool]

Can u please share vray 2020 rendering settings step by step

[@SketchUpSchool]

There isn't one set of rendering settings that will work best in every scenario. Instead, there are some best practices and strategies that you can use to determine how to best approach different types of renderings. It's a lot more than we can cover in a KZbin video, so we've put all of that information into our V-Ray for SketchUp course and made it available in our Video Course Library. You can learn more about the Video Course Library here: sketchupschool.com/video-course-library

[@mzh9529]

Can you please share what is the fastest way to get ambient occlusion in sketchup without rendering. Following your SketchUp-photoshop video so right now only need ambient occlusion. Thanks!

[@SketchUpSchool]

I recommend you use the Ambient Occlusion extension: www.fluidinteractive.com/products/sketchup-extensions/ambientocclusion/

[@mzh9529]

I was just hoping if there was a way to skip rendering completely. I'll definitely try it. Thanks a lot!!

[@myright19_1_a]

Hey.. I have obj file and mtl file of my previous project. Can I turn it into realistic view? If yes, how?

[@SketchUpSchool]

You can use an extension like Transmutr (transmutr.com/) to help you import the .obj file into SketchUp and then use a rendering extension like V-Ray for SketchUp to render it.

[@myright19_1_a]

@@SketchUpSchool thanks 🙂 I'll try it for sure 👍🏻

[@gsd1232]

Is sketchup web can use this?

[@SketchUpSchool]

Unfortunately, you can't add rendering extensions to SketchUp Free (the web-based version of SketchUp). You would need SketchUp Pro in order to add realistic rendering extensions.

[@professorh8398]

Is there an easy, budget, ray tracing render extension that works within Sketchup?

[@SketchUpSchool]

The lowest price ray-tracing extension that I am aware of for SketchUp that is also fairly easy to use is SU Podium: store.cadaloginc.com/su-podium-products/su-podium-commercial-version/. It's currently priced around $250 USD.

[@professorh8398]

@@SketchUpSchool Wow you responded. Very nice of you 🎆🎇🎆

[@rishabhaggarwal2766]

Hello, my name is Rishabh and I come here to ask your advice. I apply the maps in the appropriate slots, such as Diffuse, Reflect, Reflection Glossiness, Fresnel IOR and Bump, and save the skp file. But every time I try to open this skp file on another computer, the skp file only shows a single texture I?ve applied (Diffuse). I did a test creating a folder with all the textures of that object in the same directory as the skp file and it worked but I was wondering: is it possible to do this without having to create this folder with the textures and have all those textures contained within the skp file?? I would greatly appreciate hearing your advice.

[@SketchUpSchool]

Your rendering tool needs to know where to find those files each time it renders the model. So if you open the SketchUp file on a new computer, but you don't have the maps files on that computer, your rendering tool can't find it. If you are using a tool like V-Ray for SketchUp, the solution is to use the Pack Project feature so that V-Ray packs all of the underlying files into a project folder. Then transfer that folder to any other computers and when you open the SketchUp file inside it, all of the underlying files will remain linked.

Can a print out normally be done from the finsihed product after editing process, and printed from the rendering view itself ?

[@SketchUpSchool]

When you create a rendering, you can save it as an image file on your computer. Then, you can print that image file just the same that you would print any other image file.

[@keithtam8859]

what about UV??

[@nancykaur4572]

Hi, I tried to find a better laptop that runs the system required for 3D enscape rendering. What are you using the laptop brand and graphics? Like NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or Quadro RTX 5000. Anything else….. Please advise me ASAP. I appreciate your efforts to be helpful and kind.

[@SketchUpSchool]

An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 should work great when paired with a similarly powerful CPU.

[@cherylquell]

I read that SketchUp Studio includes VRay

[@SketchUpSchool]

It does include V-Ray if you are on a PC. If you are on a Mac, you would get SketchUp Pro and then purchase V-Ray separately.

[@arnoldjohnson7779]

Interesting........

[@SketchUpSchool]

🤔

[@arnoldjohnson7779]

@@SketchUpSchool I run a Linux PC, Sketchup runs well in Bottles, I also have Blender and SweetHome3D which each have render tools. The problem is always transferring projects between applications. I can get Aqsis renderer. Knowing how much work is involved and what to expect is helpful. I'm not a pro so for me there's no pressure. I'm going to try a few things and see what works.

[@ronmaren4135]

The first question in mind is "Can you render in the free version?"

[@SketchUpSchool]

No, there isn't really a way to create realistic renderings from the models you create in SketchUp Free. You would need SketchUp Pro + a photorealistic rendering extension like V-Ray for SketchUp in order to create realistic renderings. (You could try downloading your SketchUp Free file as a .skp file and then try to import it into another software to create a realistic rendering, but it would be easier and less costly to upgrade to SketchUp Pro if you need to create photorealistic renderings).

[@txnewton8498]

What about corona software?

[@SketchUpSchool]

Corona is a great rendering software, but it doesn't come as an extension that you can use inside SketchUp.
