How to make your sketchup rendering superior by adding self glow with arielvision

DutchSims4Master comes with another useful video presentation that shows some tricks for adding self-glow in sketchup with Arielvision.

ArielVision is a cost-effective and user-friendly rendering package that can transform your rendering quality to the next level.

ArielVision applies sun, sky, shadows, lights, transparency and reflections to generate photorealistic renderings out of any SketchUp models efficiently.

By applying a simple dialog, ArielVision can set properties on SketchUp materials like reflections, and offers a Wizard to produce various common lights. Several high quality renderings are formed with a single button click without making any modifications to the model slightly.

ArielVision can render the scene with different types of rendering passes as necessary. (Rendering passes apply extra lighting samples from the sun, sky, and lights to produce smoother shadows and more convincing effects. Primarily, at the learning stage, a limit of 40 passes can be used. Later, the number of passes can be raised according to your choice.

ArielVision describes material properties and rendering settings within SketchUp and saves them in your SketchUp model. You can generate and view the rendering with a simple mouse click.

Vray Proxy - Vray para Sketchup

V-Ray is a commercial rendering plug-in for 3D computer graphics software applications.

Well, before proceeding towards this exclusive tutorial we have to know that what VrayProxy is.

VRayProxy generally imports geometry from an external mesh during render time only. The geometry is absent in the 3ds Max scene and does not engage in any resources. This permits the rendering of scenes with millions of triangles, more than 3ds Max itself can manage.

Advanced mapping - Anisotropy in V Ray for SketchUp

This sketchup vray video tutorial is presented by MasterTuts. One will get some useful tips on materials and texturing in v-ray for sketchup through an advanced feature to produce mappings with Anisotropy.

Anisotropic reflections in cg are divided into two categories.

An Anisotropic Highlight - A highlight belongs to a faked reflection of a point light source. Most 3d apps require a way to perform anisotropic highlights.

An Anisotropic Reflection receives a genuine reflection of any scene or an environment map and expands it on the basis of an anisotropy direction. Fewer renderers have the ability to perform this, some can include Vray and mentalray.

How to use IRender nXt for adding haze & blur after rendering your sketchup model

This is another useful presentation from DutchSims4Master. In this sketchup tutorial video, one can learn how to apply IRender nXt to include blur or haze to your sketchup model once the rendering is completed for your image.

Haze is one time of atmospheric effects which are used to include realism to your rendering works. Haze is generally added to exterior renders. In order to produce haze, it is necessary to mask an extra layer to give various effects like mist, fog, vapor over the images.

IRender nXt contains depth Blur. It is accomplished as a Post-Processing edit, as soon as the rendering is finished, in the nXt Image Editor. It is possible to blur the foreground (rendered image), background, or both.

The most updated version is IRender nXt 7.0. IRender nXt 7.0 highlights SketchUp Renderings with Option Styles, View Wizard, ArchVision RPCs etc.

IRender nXt is an effective plugin for rendering superior quality images with high resolution right inside SketchUp. IRender nXt completely supports Sketch Up materials, lighting, and components to perform rendering interior, exterior, daytime or night-time scenes efficiently.

IRender nXt 7.0 simplify the process for designers to generate render-ready SketchUp models and instantly adjust render settings by providing light sources, reflective properties, translucency, refraction and other rendering features.

Version 7.0 can significantly enhance the rendering workflow with user-friendly controls for render settings. IRender nXt 7.0 is specifically designed to facilitate the designers to create excellent renderings in a quickest possible way.
