Dirk de Jongh from DWanimations won the very first render contest hosted by ASGVIS in March 2009 for an interior render done with VRay for SketcHUP with the image you see above. He kindly shares his process with us in this first SketchUP + VRay article on the blog. I hope you’ll enjoy this article, learn from it and share your thoughts by commenting at the bottom of this article’s page.
ASGVIS 3D Artist and Trainer, Fernando Rentas, created the Vermont Verde Antique material in V-Ray for SketchUP Using basic material creation techniques as explained in the featured video tutorial Creating Vermont Verde Antique. Fernando was able to match the rich green color and unique light green and white veins by looking at a small sample of the marble. Check out the video below, it is very informative and the result is remarkably good.
I found this interesting capture of a modeling session using SketchUP & modo 401 by a luxology modo forum member named Andeciuala. It is rather fast and yet you do pick up things from it. I’m very much interested in modo and the possible usage along side SketchUP or as a standalone and complete solution.
I stumbled upon Scott Baumberger’s website today and found these very nice making of slide-shows he made about his ‘Digital Watercolor’ technique using SketchUP and a 3d model as a base for a 2d photoshop workflow to create a watercolor style illustration. Very interesting to see the his process.
I finally found the time to finish part 2 of Making of ‘MS House’ at dusk, Part 1. This time I’ll cover topics starting from the export of the SketchUP 3d model and up to the final render & post-production. Autodesk released the SketchUP Importer for 3D Studio Max 2010 which allows for a new and probably better importing of the SketchUP model then the 3DS format use described in this article. Next time I’ll keep post parts a week apart at most.
Giving away this great Azuma House SketchUP model I did way back. All you need to do is sign up to my newsletter and keep getting 3d tips and freebies as I post them here and perhaps some I’ll keep only for the newsletter subscribers – just to make you feel special.
