I am so enlighted by your channel and specifically this video ! 🤩 I’ve been doing it all wrong this whole time with the lights, and I did every mistake that you mentioned in this video 😢 And the LightMix tip, oh my God, that was a life saver info entirely ! Thanks for your great tips and amazing rhetoric, you made everything easy to understand 🤩
Brilliant video. I'm going to definitely try this method. I was making these mistakes that you mentioned in this video but now i will use this approach to set up my scenes.
First time viewers., it's good and Clear, lighting and color., Related to rendering the object always perfer advance part., due to time schedule and the project.
Thank you for using the pour over method for your coffee. Simply the best method for coffee flavours. (and this was an awesome quick tutorial for vray5) 👍
Great video! I'm working on my first rendering with Vray for Sketchup. The only problem is where the spotlights in the ceiling shine down to wall and cabinets below, there are strong unwanted horizontal lines. Any idea on how to approach that?
Thank you so much, Professor. Really learning a lot, how can I avail a sketch up pro installer? How much would it cost me? Or can please help me with this, since I want to use sketch up for my designs. Thanks and God bless..
While you can certainly try to get as far as you can with your assignment, it will take longer than 5 days to really learn V-Ray for SketchUp well. Best of luck, and maybe after your assignment is done you can invest some time into learning V-Ray so that you're ready before your next one.
A Key light is just another way of saying "the main light" or "the primary light". So in V-Ray, there are different light types and you can use whichever one makes sense as a key or primary light.
please tell me, is it possible setting a parameter or creating constraint to any object without any plugin in SketchUp, if it is not possible then why they don't include this operation , I also want to use fillet tool as default
Hi Zabir 👋 If I understand your question correctly, you can create constraints in SketchUp by creating Dynamic Components. Or, if you know the Ruby programming language, then you can create a script or extension to help with that. As for using a fillet tool: There isn't a fillet tool included in SketchUp's toolset, but you can download and install the FredoCorner extension to add tools to help with that: sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FredoCorner
Let's say I just want to show the light fixtures in the scene, but I don't care if they're adding light because I have my 2-point lighting setup. Would it be easiest and better for render times if I just made them emissive materials instead of adding Vray lights to them?
one question to anyone why in VRAY when shift the model orientation the glazing shifts from see through to almost mirror on certain angles this split in the glass between the 2 is annoying
If I understand the question correctly, it sounds like this is what you would also encounter in the real-world: At more dead-on angles you would be able to more clearly see through a window into the inside, but at wider angles you would see more of the reflected light/environment outside the window. If I've missed the issue, please email team@sketchupschool.com and we'd be happy to try to help further.
8GB of RAM is the minimum system requirement, but Chaos Group recommends 16GB of RAM. You can find their system recommendations here: docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VSKETCHUP/System+Requirements
,,Helps students go from not being sure where to begin to being able to produce awesome renderings in just a few days.'' Well, I went on a course, got certified for 3ds max and v-ray, worked really hard and what I got ? Fuzzy, saturated, blurred renderings, doesn't matter what i did. Not even close to photorealism, but game/children play. Even with adding Photoshop, still far from it. Wasted whole my paycheck for the unnecessarily complicated software for architects. No steps helped me doing anything further for so many years. So, I don't see how these ,,renderings'' in the video are possible, unless I learn exact way on how to do it properly, and with help from someone who really knows how to do and to explain, not from ,,,youtube/live performers''. P.S. (I am pretty fast in Sketchup, at least double more times than 3ds Max.)
Sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience trying to create photorealistic renderings in the past. The truth is that most courses make it too complicated - the steps to creating photorealistic renderings are actually fairly straightforward. The challenge is not just knowing those steps, but knowing how to make corrections as you go. No one creates a perfect rendering with the first click of the render button. It's about taking a simple approach to testing and iterating your way from a not-so-good rendering to a photorealistic one. For background, I (Alex) am not here on TH-cam to perform or try to become popular or anything like that. I have been teaching real professionals in the real world how to produce the renderings they need since 2005. And I have been trying to condense our proven training approach into videos that more people can find on TH-cam so that I can help more people realize what's possible. I welcome you to contact us (and me) by sending a message to team@sketchupschool.com with any follow-up questions you might have. Even if you never take one of our video courses on our website, we would still be happy to try to help you overcome the issues that you have run into in the past.
For our TH-cam channel, we try to give a more condensed and quick overview to help you understand what goes into creating better renderings. You can adjust the playback speed and/or pause the video if you're trying to follow along as well. But then we also offer more comprehensive, step-by-step courses on our website that are likely to be paced more to your liking: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library

Well my friend, I was finally able to make a really good photorealistic render thanks to you. You earnd my sub and respect. Keep it up!
Criminally underrated channel. as an intermediate artist, these are the things that I wished I've learned when I was still starting out. Kudos!
Wow! Thank you for the kind words! We really appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing!
I am a beginner and learnt a ton! Thanks! I liked the additional funny scenes 😄
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice and compact summary, very well done.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for using the pour over method for your coffee. Simply the best method for coffee flavours.
(and this was an awesome quick tutorial for vray5) 👍
We take our coffee as seriously as we take our V-Ray for SketchUp training 😉. Glad you noticed!
@@SketchUpSchool, I have a coffee roasting machine in my kitchen... I notice these things... 🤔😂
Awesome tips👍🏻...keep it up 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
Thank youu for your advice.
You're so welcome!
just waow ... your are so perfet guys !
Thanks for the kind words!

It's the great tutorial I have ever seen! But I can't get a copy of the notes, the link doesn't work :(
Glad to hear you liked the video! Here is a link to the notes: www.sketchupschool.com/the-secret-to-better-vray-renderings/notes
@@SketchUpSchool Thank you so much. But when I click on the Green button "get a copy of the notes", nothing happens :(
which one is keylight in vray?
A Key light is just another way of saying "the main light" or "the primary light". So in V-Ray, there are different light types and you can use whichever one makes sense as a key or primary light.

Merci bien
De rien 😊
Let's say I just want to show the light fixtures in the scene, but I don't care if they're adding light because I have my 2-point lighting setup. Would it be easiest and better for render times if I just made them emissive materials instead of adding Vray lights to them?
Yes, that would be a better strategy for lowering rendering times while getting the look you want.
@@SketchUpSchool Thank you!
HELP ME PLEASE...I deleted the "material, soften edge, default tray" section and the whole right side ... what should I do?
You have hidden the Default Tray. To show the tray again, select Window > Default Tray > Show Tray
@@SketchUpSchool tqsm
one question to anyone

this split in the glass between the 2 is annoying

Style design, detailing technical 3D, lighting, shadow perfecto 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 scene free to analysis ? Only student architecture ?
Hi Rehyantaka 👋 I am not sure I understand your question... can you send a message to team@sketchupschool.com and explain a bit more?
Hello sir
is Nvidia with 8gb ram is ok for SketchUp very rendering?
I tried rendering vrey fur and it's not working..🙁
8GB of RAM is the minimum system requirement, but Chaos Group recommends 16GB of RAM. You can find their system recommendations here: docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VSKETCHUP/System+Requirements
@@SketchUpSchool thank you sir.
Could you please make video about bitmap in vrat SketchUp.
Light settings getting low after sketchup vray render
You can change your camera exposure before rendering to balance the lighting (and make it brighter)
Nice! Hiw about exterior architecural scene?
We have a video about rendering Exteriors in V-Ray that you can find here: th-cam.com/video/HyAqx6VGGnw/w-d-xo.html

So, in summary I don't have to force myself to use natural light? That changes everything
Yes, that's correct. Sometimes it's more simple to just use your own lighting set-up and not fight the sun or environment light.
@@SketchUpSchool Thank you for answering, sir. That is really helpful
En español 🥴
