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.

How to generate colorful glass with refraction layer in vray sketchup

This is a useful presentation from MasterTuts that shows the users some tricks to generate a material in v-ray for sketchup by applying refraction layer.

Refraction indicates the modification of direction of a ray of light in moving at an angle from one medium to another. In V-Ray the refraction layer is applied to generate glass or translucent materials.

Generally the refraction layer is located beneath the Diffuse layer and the diffuse layer obstructs the effect of the Refraction layer. To view the refraction effect, Just apply transparency in the diffuse layer.

How to optimize scale tool of sketchup – Some handy tips by Daniel Tal

Daniel Tal, a professional speaker and a registered landscape architect as well as a 3D modeling and visualization expert, has written an exclusive article on scale tool of sketchup. In this useful sketchup article, he introduces some sketchup tricks to optimize the functionalities of scale tool.

Sketchup’s scale tool facilitates the users to modify the size or proportions of any object.

Sometimes, it become difficult for the sketchup users to maintain the scaling reasonableness and this article will help the users to resolve the issue.

When the users try to resize geometry inside their model and preserve its proportions, they either apply the Tape Measure tool or the Scale tool.

If you face problem for handling the scale direction, the best method is to rearrange the drawing axes to your selection. To execute this, choose Tools > Axes from the menu bar. Using the Axes tool cursor, click corner as per your choice to line up the drawing axes. Then change the cursor in order that it snaps the edge to which your inferred axis will be lined up and click to approve the change. (The inference is red, green, or blue on the basis of the direction, the cursor is changed).

In this exclusive article, Daniel Tal mainly focuses on Back Edge, Modifying the Camera View, Scaling Single Surface.
