I have been searching for a good tutorial for so long. Finally found one. Please keep on adding more tutorials, especially interior ones. You are the best there is.
Hi! Thank you for this very helpful video! Explain way better the dome lights effect. I wanna ask you something about it: i use vray next and i noticed that the option "lock dome light" does not exist anymore. How can I lock the dome light to the hdri in vray next? thank you!
Thank you so much ! I just use your directions for a work I was doing today. It turned out quite nice. I find that when I use an HDRI sky, it always starts very dark. Is there a way to adjust the light separately or ( sun ) intensity, and the sphere light ?
Yeah you just have to increase the intensity by a lot and if it gets too bright then use the highlight burn function to reduce the washed out areas of the render ^.^
@@ArchitectureInspirations Thank you for the reply. Would you have a recommendation for the lawn grass texture for V-Ray with SketchUp ? I find the V-Ray texture for grass is too flat in my render. It looks so even...!
Thank you Sir for your videos. It means soo much to me as I am still learning a lot about vray sketchup. I really appreciate it and it helps me improve my work every time with your easy to follow step videos. Love from PH.
Well done. Please I will appreciate if you can give bullet points on photorealistic vray rendering settings....the on-screen recording are not so readable, thanks.
Thanks!!! You just saved my whole week's work as I've been battling with this! Too bad I still haven't been able to get my hands on Vray 3.4 but so far nothing...
My favorite tutor. Simple and creative. My hdri seems to be lower than my model, and the model looks to float. Can I move the hdri to be at coordinate level? Help. Got the hdris from vizpeople
Hello. Thanks for the very good tutorial, although it didn't answer a question I have. When and Why do you use the dome light? For what reason instead of the normal skylight? What does it change or allow you to do, besides HDRIs, that the normal sunlight cant?
@@ArchitectureInspirations Thank you for the reply. So you are recommending to usually use dome lights in your exterior scenes than the normal sunlight yes?
+CanhM Tran you're welcome! As of now, I think the best way is to use a Denoiser Channel in the render element. That help reduce noise really quickly and easily. Try that!
Thank you very much for this tutorial! I have a question. You have used the method of locking the dome light and then rotate it manually. Is it adjusting the UVW of the texture and playing with the horizontal and vertical value the same thing? Will you obtain the same result? Thanks
Really good video. I just have some problems with the shadow on my model. The sunlight seems to be directly on the top of my model makes it look darker specially on parts with eaves. Wish you could help me. Thanks a lot
@@ArchitectureInspirations I'm using the HDRI setting and turned off the sunlight. I just changed the HDRI and works well now. More cool videos from you. Thanks 👍
Thank you very much for this video. I tried using an HDRI in a dome light but but my background appears blurry in the final output. Is there any way to make it clear?
thank you.. for Vray 2.0, is it the same? i mean, in your video, its not necessary to scale up the dome light bigger, it still work pretty well. isnt it?
Your Videos has helped me tremendously! Thank you, but could you maybe make a tutorial on using the sun settings in the new Vray? I just simply can't get it to work the way I want to... Thanks again for the vids!
Thanks for the response! I have only recently upgraded to the new Vray for sketchup, as I was using Vray 2 still. I'm having a hard time to configure the Vray sun Engine in 3.4. I have tried everything, but I just don;t get the same result like I did in Vray 2. Basically increasing the sun settings to illuminate an interior scene. If you could in any way help with the normal sun settings, that would be awesome! Thanks again for the response.
The easiest way to maybe help me, is to explain your lighting setup in your realistic Materials video? The last part where you explain the addition of a reflection map. I tried making my own version of that part, but I only get light coming in on small precise spots, if that makes sense.
+Ruan ahh gotcha! The sunlight alone might not be enough. You might want to try increase exposure value or even use rectangular lights. I cover it briefly in my dining room video😄
Thank you for a super best tutorial..:) I found some problem in my v ray dome light options. I've no "Lock Dome light" Option. What should I do to fix that?
thanks for your tutorial . i want to ask,why my dome light direction didn't match the shadow direction? instead, it just follow the HDRI lighting direction.
Dude can i ask something, how can we put the HDRI texture farther? I mean, i use HDRI texture, the cloud seems so big, i want to make it smaller for more realistic look. Thanks before bro, you're the man!
Hey man! So it completely depend on your HDRI, some are shot with backgrounds closer. Others have it farther away. I would recommend going to HDRI haven to find what works best for you. It's all free HDRI :)
2:35 i dont have spherical option and lock dome light too... what should i do?
same here
I have been searching for a good tutorial for so long. Finally found one. Please keep on adding more tutorials, especially interior ones. You are the best there is.

Hi! Thank you for this very helpful video! Explain way better the dome lights effect. I wanna ask you something about it: i use vray next and i noticed that the option "lock dome light" does not exist anymore. How can I lock the dome light to the hdri in vray next? thank you!

@@ArchitectureInspirations Thank you for the reply.
Would you have a recommendation for the lawn grass texture for V-Ray with SketchUp ?
I find the V-Ray texture for grass is too flat in my render. It looks so even...!
Hm you can use vray fur. I showed it in a video called 10 tips for realistic exterior. You can find it on my channel😄
Super helpful video! Looking forward to more videos. Thank you!

Will try soon but won't have the chance of affording it once the trial ends so we'll see...
My favorite tutor. Simple and creative. My hdri seems to be lower than my model, and the model looks to float. Can I move the hdri to be at coordinate level? Help. Got the hdris from vizpeople
Hi I'm not sure if there's a way to move the HDRI, 🤔 I think it might be because of your camera position
Thanks a lot !! Your tutorials are amazing,i got so much from them:)
+Gizem Kepenek you're super welcome! 😄😄
Awsome! Thank you so much... Looks like V-Ray is worth it
+SicKz definitely worth it!
Thank you very much this is very useful, but how to make the bluish theme in 00:26 ?
That was done in photoshop just to highlight the shadows😄
Thanks for fast reply, but if u explain how it was done in PS ?
I just overlay a blue color on top of the shadow area, that's all

+Joko Susilo thank you man!!
Great videos! This help me a lot!
I do have a question, is there a way we could import vray settings (visopt) like the vray 2.0 can do before?
Yes you can! go to the settings tab in the vray asset editor and at the bottom there is a button that let you load render settings :D
hello that is very good. would u mind making a full tutorial how to use v-ray setting and basic function for editing materiel ????
I have some videos on materials in vray! check out my other videos, and I'll try to work on some new videos on render settings :D
Hello. Thanks for the very good tutorial, although it didn't answer a question I have. When and Why do you use the dome light? For what reason instead of the normal skylight? What does it change or allow you to do, besides HDRIs, that the normal sunlight cant?
HDRI gives you a more dynamic environment, it has a realistic background and realistic reflection
@@ArchitectureInspirations Thank you for the reply. So you are recommending to usually use dome lights in your exterior scenes than the normal sunlight yes?
Thanks bro,that good video. Help me how to control noise when use vray 3.4. Pls
+CanhM Tran you're welcome! As of now, I think the best way is to use a Denoiser Channel in the render element. That help reduce noise really quickly and easily. Try that!
your the best Sir.! This is fast and clear tutorial thank you!!
hey its really helpful tutorial.....can you please make some more tutorial for clear and good quality render setting for the beginners
+Tanvir Ahmed Khan hi there! Do you have anything specific you want to learn?
The simplest & most helpful tutorial I've seen ..
Thank you ..❤
(+1sub)
Thank you so much!😄😄
Thank you very much for this tutorial! I have a question. You have used the method of locking the dome light and then rotate it manually. Is it adjusting the UVW of the texture and playing with the horizontal and vertical value the same thing? Will you obtain the same result? Thanks
They're basically the same, but Locking the domelight then rotating it is a lot easier than adjusting uvw rotation. 😊
It's very helpful.Thank you for this video and HDRI's specially.
You're welcome! :D
excellent !! informative channel. great.
Great Videos! Btw What is the difference between HDRI Image on environment setting?
Hey man, how did you change the color of the shadow in sketchup? It looks really cool for illustration..
Hi, that was actually done using Photoshop. I just overlay a solid color layer over the shadows
@@ArchitectureInspirations oh.. so is there's no way to change shadow color in sketchup!
That feature would have been nice.
AMAZNIG!!!!
Thank youu 😄
Please do a tutorial on the other lighting options as well like the the IES light, spot, rectangle,etc. And your tutorials are the best on youtube.👍😊
+Rohin Sharma I'll put it on the list!
How do you control the inclination of Light?
So helpful! Thank you thank you!
You're very very welcome!
Informative video, nice one...
Thank you!
Really good video. I just have some problems with the shadow on my model. The sunlight seems to be directly on the top of my model makes it look darker specially on parts with eaves. Wish you could help me. Thanks a lot
Are you using sunlight or HDRI for lighting? If sunlight then adjust sketchup shadows settings. If HDRI then just change to a different HDRI
@@ArchitectureInspirations I'm using the HDRI setting and turned off the sunlight. I just changed the HDRI and works well now. More cool videos from you. Thanks 👍
Thank you very much for this video. I tried using an HDRI in a dome light but but my background appears blurry in the final output. Is there any way to make it clear?
So good brother, thx for video this good job
thank you.. for Vray 2.0, is it the same? i mean, in your video, its not necessary to scale up the dome light bigger, it still work pretty well. isnt it?
+Sayuti Deterna yeah you don't have to scale it up at all, I was just scaling it up for demonstration purposes 😊
thank you. great tut video...
nice explanation,much more sir
hi!. you make amazing with easy learning videos. i love all videos. pls make video of HDRI in background to blend with exterior elevation building
Great tuto!!!
+seunghwan Jung thank you!!
awesome video man! i will try to download the new vray. can it render a section ?
Thank you! Yes it definitely can render a section!
Great tutorial.
Thank you!
Hello, i cant find the Spherical option inside the Dome light options. Can anyone help me? 2:49
awesome man! thanks!
Awsome!!! I’d Love a video with tips for downloading Good quality blocks from 3d warehouse! Tks
+Simone Ghezzi hi Simone! In my latest video, I have a link to a collection of good assets on the 3dwarehouse. You should check it out!
Very usefull. Btw can u give a tutorial lighting in day light exterior home?
Your Videos has helped me tremendously! Thank you, but could you maybe make a tutorial on using the sun settings in the new Vray? I just simply can't get it to work the way I want to... Thanks again for the vids!
+Ruan you're welcome! Is there a specific thing you need help with?
Thanks for the response! I have only recently upgraded to the new Vray for sketchup, as I was using Vray 2 still. I'm having a hard time to configure the Vray sun Engine in 3.4. I have tried everything, but I just don;t get the same result like I did in Vray 2. Basically increasing the sun settings to illuminate an interior scene.

Thank you so very much! You will always have a subscriber in me, eager to watch more videos of yours!
Just can't believe that I missed that video xD
Thank you for a super best tutorial..:) I found some problem in my v ray dome light options. I've no "Lock Dome light" Option. What should I do to fix that?
+Md. Abdur Rahman ah, the new version changed that to "use transform". Turn that on and you're good to go!😄
Thank you :)
+Md. Abdur Rahman you're welcome , 😄
i also didn't find "use transform" !!
спасибо огромное за вашу работу, привет из Сибири)
Really good video!
why my vray 3.4.04 i dont have lock dome light feature
Really Good tutorial , u the best sir, thanks
Thank you!
great video !
Thank you!
You are the besssssst thank you soooo much 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thank youu 😁😁😁
Great stuff! I have a question tho. Is it possible scaling the hdri images at the scenes? Thanks.
+Can Öner hm I think you can but I wouldn't recommend it because hdri images were made to be 360 degree. If you scale it up, it might not look right 😂
Hi Architecture Inspirations, maybe you can do some video on how to avoid taking so long in building light cache during the rendering time.
Thank you!
thanks for your tutorial . i want to ask,why my dome light direction didn't match the shadow direction? instead, it just follow the HDRI lighting direction.
Hi. Did you turn off the sun light? And if you did and it's still wrong then it's probably because of the HDRI. Hdrihaven.com has lots of good hdri :)
@@ArchitectureInspirations then what will happen if hdri has 3 high light point(like tunnel or something) . will scene still generate one shadow?
Hm maybe it'll be 2 or 3 shadows
Hello there! may i ask where to find Material or Light Source "SUBDIVISION" cuz i got these grainy texture result. Great Video by the way.
Hi there! In V-Ray 3.4 you no longer have material subdivisions, everything is managed globally through your quality settings.
Oh i see, well i guess the the problem is in my settings.Thanks for your time sir,much appreciated.
So good!
Thank you!
Can we make the shadows soft? Just like we do for sunlight by increasing size multiplier?
Unfortunately no
very good tutorial video
+satya prawira negara thank you 😄😄
Dude can i ask something, how can we put the HDRI texture farther? I mean, i use HDRI texture, the cloud seems so big, i want to make it smaller for more realistic look. Thanks before bro, you're the man!
Hey man! So it completely depend on your HDRI, some are shot with backgrounds closer. Others have it farther away. I would recommend going to HDRI haven to find what works best for you. It's all free HDRI :)
Thank's dude for the reply, really helpful with those recommendation. The best vray teacher in youtube for sure. Good luck, keep being cool haha.
Haha thanks man! I'll try my best to live up to the expectations 😂😄😄
Hey really great video. I was wondering, what are the specifications of your computer? Thank you
Hi there, please check the description box of any of my video to see my computer specs 😄
any idea how to adjust the shadow radius from hdri?
