Part 2: VRAY MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

SketchUp Tutorial

After discussing the basics of Vray for SketchUp Illumination, I’m moving forward with this tutorial by attempting to explain and demonstrate the different Vray materials and textures settings.
I must admit, this part is the hardest to create and perfect in Vray renders. I do a lot of trials and errors and I always find myself running to other tutorials as well. Most of these techniques I got from one of the most comprehensive blogs when it comes to Vray for SketchUp rendering, SketchUp Vray Resources by Nomeradona. Put in mind though that materials work best with proper illumination – a good throw of light is sometimes the secret of great renderings.
If you can notice, I opted to do an interior with rich textures. I would have gone with plain walls and floors but to exhaust almost all of the layers and options Vray has, I went with bricks, wood, carpet, etc. With that said, I have five things to discuss in this part:

1. Refraction Layer

2. Reflection Layer

3. Bump Map

4. Displacement Map

5. Vray Two-Sided Materials

(Note that I previously talked about the Emissive Layer in PART 1. Read more about it again here.)
Now here goes Part 02:

Here are more examples of surfaces with bump. Have you noticed that I’ve been adding Reflection Layers to almost all materials?

I guess that’s about it. We’ve got all areas covered and I hope you found every bit of it useful.
Now, some people would already stop at this phase. But knowing me, being the Photoshop Queen (oh my, shameless branding!), I don’t stop until I photoshop and that’s exactly what I’ll do here. For Vray renders though, I only do a few adjustments – some levels, curves and overlays. You can read all about that in Part 3: POST PROCESSING, up next Tomorrow !

SketchUp Tutorial Basic Illumination
Today I'm putting a very important Sketchup tutorial For free.
This tutorial compound 3 Basic parts of vray : Basic Illumination, Materials and Textures, Post Processing .
Be know that:
  • To get a nice render in vray for sketcup, remember !!!
  • Nice model present 30% of your sence.
  • The good illumination present 30% of your sence.
  • Materials setting 20% of your sence.
  • And the post-production 20% of your sence.

1. Basic Illumination
- Vray options in general can be overwhelming but guess what, you don’t have to know everything to produce something decent with it.  In this part, I’ll discuss some of the principles of Vray camera and environment settings that you’ll surprisingly find almost similar to photography. Unfortunately, I won’t delve into HDRI’s yet but I’ll give some sufficient tips on how to lighten up your scene.
2. Materials and Textures
- Vray is known to produce photo-realistic outputs. Part 2 will discuss how to add reflection, bump, displacement and refraction to make your materials more real.
3. Post Processing
- A good Vray render can be better with Photoshop. Part 3 will show basic steps on how to give your raw render more character.

Here goes Part 1: SketchUp Tutorial "Basic illumination"

Why Override Materials?
If you were to do this from scratch, chances are, at this point, you still haven’t set your materials. Since I’m working backwards, I have hidden my materials so that the concentration is more on the illumination. Moreover, I strongly recommend overriding your materials while doing test renders of lighting to enormously reduce your render time.
By clicking the Render Button without changing anything else in the options editor, I got this:

The sun size is definitely up to you. By default, the value is 01 .SketchUp Tutorial Basic Illumination     SketchUp Tutorial Basic Illumination

How about we add some lights?
SketchUp Tutorial Basic Illumination SketchUp Tutorial Basic Illumination
Omni Lights are useful when it comes to the general illumination of the room, it can aid the light coming from the window or it can be your main light source. IES Lights are usually for ambient lighting. You can download free IES files here,it has a jpeg directory of what the lights look like when rendered.

 There you have it, a very well lighted scene. If you think the brightness is too much, don’t worry, after we applied materials on all surfaces, the lighting will be just about right. If you are going for a bit dark and dramatic scene, feel free to change the values for each parameter using the principles discussed.
