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.

Some useful sketchup tips to illuminate the exterior in sketchup & vray hdri maps

This tutorial is specifically designed for sketchup vray users. V-Ray for SketchUp stands for a rendering engine that contains Global Illumination (GI) to facilitate the users arranging the lighting for whole scene easily. The tutorial highlights the process for illuminating the exterior in sketchup and vray hdri maps easily. V-Ray for SketchUp supports High Dynamic Range values, also called HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image).

The VRayHDRI map is applied to deliver high dynamic range images (HDRI) and map them onto the background.

HDRI maps can produce attractive surroundings as well as make variation in lighting and scenes. Besides, HDRI can enhance exposure and white balance.

With the HDR file format, users will gain more control on dark to bright. The HDR refers to very special image file format. It is generally starts with professional 360 degree photography, then converts to 96bit full scene image with professional HDR software. HDR allows the users to apply this full scene image as your render light source. It can also be utilized as the background rendering.
