V-RAY 2 FOR SKETCHUP Sketchup 2016 SketchUp Pro is rewriting the stigma that CAD programs are hard to use. The layout of SketchUp Pro is very intuitive and easy to use, even for the least knowledgeable CAD designers. The added bonus of the 3D Warehouse is a great resource as you’ll have constantly new models and symbols to choose from and work with. Although support only lasts for a year, and architectural tools are not plentiful, SketchUp Pro is still a wonderful program for designing and editing 3D models and designs. V-RAY 2 FOR SKETCHUP V-RAY 2 FOR SKETCHUP Full Crack is a rendering engine that uses advanced techniques, for example global illumination algorithms such as path tracing, photon mapping, irradiance maps and directly computed global illumination.
The use of these techniques often makes it preferable to conventional renderers which are provided standard with 3d software, and generally renders using these technique can appear more photo-realistic, as actual lighting effects are more realistically emulated. The desktop 3D applications that are supported by V-Ray are:. 3ds Max. Cinema 4D. Maya. Modo.
Nuke. Rhinoceros. SketchUp. Softimage. Blender New Features oF V-RAY 2 FOR SKETCHUP:. Rendering V-Ray RT CPU and GPU – a revolutionary rendering engine providing instant feedback and streamlining scene setup. Because V-Ray RT is built upon the same robust core as V-Ray, it is seamless to transition between V-Ray RT and production rendering.
Google SketchUp is a fun and innovative CAD software. These steps shown for beginners show how the basics work for Google SketchUp. How can I print the directions on how to create a simple house in Sketch Up? WikiHow Contributor. Community Answer.
For the everyday user this is a very powerful interactive rendering solution that allows them to simultaneously work and render inside of SketchUp. The instant visual feedback makes for quicker design, material, and lighting decisions. Lights Dome Light – creates simple, artifact-free image-based lighting using the Dome Light. Its powerful importance sampling analyzes HDR images and optimizes light tracing and GI precision. This new feature will streamline your workflow when using image based lighting in your scenes. It will not only save you setup and rendering time but it will also increase the quality of the image based light and shadows. Lights as Components – V-Ray lights can now be part of a SketchUp component, making the process of changing the design and settings of multiple lights at once much easier.
Geometry V-Ray Proxy – manages scene memory and efficiently renders large amounts of geometry to increase detail and complexity in scenes. V-Ray Proxy objects are dynamically loaded and unloaded at render time, which saves vital RAM resources. MATERIALS V-Ray Material – a new compact and optimized material that includes diffuse, reflection, and refraction parameters with the ability to change the BRDF.
Wrapper Material – can be used to specify additional properties per material. Most importantly you can now create true matte materials which show the background as opposed to the base material. VRMats Library – a new library contains an extensive collection of ready to use and photo realistic V-Ray materials. OTHER Batch Render Tool – render all SketchUp scene tabs with a single click.

Take SketchUp to the Next Level with Ruby Plugins By Sean Headrick San Jose, California Last summer I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar called '3D Basecamp.' It was a 3-day seminarfor SketchUp users from novice to expert level. There I discovered several new techniques andapplications. The most exciting ones were some applications known as 'ruby plugins.' Housebuilder As the name suggests, Housebuilder provides you with a set of tools for creating typical framingcomponents like walls, gabled walls, floors, and roofs. Separate tools in the set allow you toinsert door and window rough openings into a selected wall. First step with any of these plugins is to get them installed in the right location on yourcomputer.
You can find Housebuilder on. All of the plugins available here arefree. Another great place is a website called. Get it, S-kechtup, S-mustard. (That one went right over my head at first.) While a lot of the scripts offered are free, some of the applications onSmustard require you to pay for the download. These range from $4.00 to $20.00 in most cases and in my opinion arewell worth the expense.
Once you have located the plugin you want from the list, follow the instructions to download thefile. Most of the files are 'zipped' or compressed and must be extracted before you copy or move theminto the Plugins folder of your SketchUp program. I will walk you through the Housebuilder installto get you started. Locate Housebuilder.zip from the list on. Right-Click on the script name (Save target/link as.) to download. Save the file. My computer unzips the files automatically.
If yours does not, right-click onthe zipped file and choose 'extract all' from the drop down menu. Double click the computer icon on your desktop and choose your C: driveProgram filesProgram files (x86) on dual core processorsGoogleSketchUp (your version, 6 or 7) and locate theplugins folder in the list. Drag all the files into the plugins folder. There is often documentation or instructions forusing the program included in the zipped files and scripts required for the plugins to runcorrectly.
Restart your computer and open SketchUp. Choose DrawHousebuilderWall tool. A dialog box will open for you to determine variables such aswall height and thickness (2x4, 2x8, etc.) as well as header height and stud spacing. You should trydifferent settings to see how they affect the model. With your wall created, select it and right-click. When you scroll over 'Edit Wall,' a sub menuwill open with a number of options allowing you to add doors and windows. Choosing 'Add Window' or'Add Door' will open a similar dialog box requesting information related to the rough opening ofyour door or window.
All the tools in the set work about the same way. You should just startbuilding and don't forget, as with all tools, step by step instructions are found at the lower leftcorner of the modeling window if you need help.
Tools on Surface and Joint Push/Pull Have you ever wanted to draw a shape on a curved surface or extrude a shape off a curved face. Youprobably know SketchUp is limited in this regard using the basic tool set. 'Tools on Surface' is aplugin that gives you the ability to draw lines, circles, and polygons on curved surfaces. You alsohave an offset tool and buttons that allow you to edit and erase tools on surface. A perfect complement to tools on surface is 'Joint Push/Pull'. This plugin has three mainfeatures.
'Joint push/pull' (figure 1) and 'Normal Push/Pull' (figure 2) work like Push/Pull you arefamiliar with in that they extrude a selected face perpendicular to the face you are extruding from.The difference between the two is that Joint Push/Pull keeps the facets of the curve joined as youextrude while Normal Push/Pull extrudes all the faces within a given area the same distance, but doesnot keep the original shape intact. 'Vector Push/Pull' (figure 3) allows you to determine thedirection the extrusion takes.
Sketchy Physics For the grand finale, I give you Sketchy Physics. Here is a to give you an idea of whatSketchy Physics can do. This program allows you to give components or groups in your model theability to act as real physical objects. You also have mechanisms called 'joints.' Joints basicallydetermine the relationship between separate groups in your model. Hinges, servos, and motors allowrotational movement, while sliders, pistons and springs provide movement in a given direction. Allof the joints have a user interface that allows you to control the different aspects of theirfunction such as motor speed and direction, servo limits, piston travel, etc.
You can also record andexport animations of the physics simulations. Here are links to the and but you will likely still have a few questions. Iwould recommend watching some of the that can be found here on YouTube.
Beyond the dozens of ideas that begin to percolate once you see what Sketchy Physics can do,clients and friends alike are simply amazed when I prepare a model of their new kitchen or linencloset with functioning doors and drawers. Next Month I hope you found the information here to be helpful. Join me next month when I begin a kitchenremodeling job for a client in Petaluma, California.
With my being over an hour away from the jobsite, I will rely on SketchUp toprovide a virtual environment in which to design and build. I will share the process with you from designing myclient's ideal kitchen all the way to creating shop drawings for the individual cabinet components.
