dude, not only i liked your way of explanation i subscribed in an instance! No mumbling, clear voice, no strange leveling up your voice, no boring explanations. Just perfect!
i was about to get into interior collage, and i saw ur vids, its amazing, seems hard but might gonna keep watching ur vids to learn it faster than the other 😂

Alex thanks for advice. What I learned year after year. You just summarized within few minute. I prefer your course to everyone before they get started with Vray and sketchup. 😊
EXTREMELY helpful, you explained everything very clearly. I came with so many questions in my mind about a project I'm working on, solved them all ! So lucky ! Your advice on polygons is gold.
I've always found that its better to label by object rather than colour, say like with your cabinet, calling it 'Navy Cabinet' means that you have to sift through all the colours rather than objects, if you go 'Cabinet Navy' it means that you will find all the colours in that area a lot quicker.
Great point. To take it one step further: You should definitely come up with a system of naming conventions ahead of time that suit your particular project's needs. As you mention: It will save you a bunch of time later when you need to find/edit something.
Hi Bro, for enclosed room do i need to make sure the sun direction is correct before i move forward? because the room got no window no glass at all .....reallyu need u advised.
No, if there is no window and the room is enclosed, the sun direction doesn't matter because it won't shine into the room. You'll just need to add artificial lights to the inside of the room.
Glad you liked it! You should also know that we just released an updated version of this video that you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/iCBRmNi5ONo/видео.html
Great video! I am on a mission to start making house plans and renderings. Having a CAD background I started learning Revit. Since I am doing this on my own on my spare time I opted for Revit LT. As you probably know, Revit Lt does not support Vray. I would like your feedback if modeling in Revit Lt, then transferring to Sketch up to then be able to use Vray is a logical cost effective way to render from Revit LT? I would appreciate anyones feedback on this! Thank you
If you are committed to using Revit LT, then yes, your best bet would be to transfer your model into SketchUp to use V-Ray for SketchUp. Other options would be to upgrade to Revit and use V-Ray for Revit to render. Or, you could just create your 3D model in SketchUp natively (and not use Revit at all) and use V-Ray for SketchUp from there.
You r not rendering polygons for living....😂😂😂 .... what a tricky approach... as an instructor... hope to see a lot from you..! you have made the people's life easy.... um still a beginner.. but following you will make me something...!

I'M JUST A 17 YR OLD BOY WHO wants to understand and do things like this Please help me grow more oh... Also You've got a new Subscriber thank you for this wonderful tutorial
as Sketchup + Vray for years, I still have a problem and still waiting for a new free feature called "unwarp texture" and another called "texture nodes" similar to 3ds max, because I used Vray in the texture as a plain color of diffuse parameters that does not need to use an image like for the metal texture, but the problem is the bump map texture, there is no other way to change its size but to change the UV texture placement parameters itself, I don't want to use that parameter section because it repeats almost you still need to try 50 times just to be able to adjust the exact size in the simple box of the 3D object, the bad thing is that you don't have the freedom to adjust the texture to the exact shape of a 3D object from edge to edge, i tried everything i can do to fix it, i even try to make temporary bitmap for the diffuse parameter just to be able to follow the bump map exact placement, but when i tried to remove the bitmap from diffuse parameter again, the bump map turns back to it's original UV placement but in very small size.
Hi, it's very long to find this guidance.... But I am still need more guidance in my drawing. I am still newbie to learn SU with VR. In my drawing, I had a box with 5 different materials and 3 position of light : front, left and right. In SU, I can extract these 5 materials. And after render with VR, I need the 5 faces after get VR lights. How can I extract these 5 faces ? Pls guide me. Thx in advance ...
Very nice content, I have used 3ds max XSI sftimage and maya, I want to update to a free software with nice rendering, are sketchup and v-ray for sketchup free? Thanks mate :) Max
SketchUp Pro and V-Ray for SketchUp are not free - both are paid products. There is a free web-based version of SketchUp called SketchUp Free, but you can't use V-Ray for SketchUp with SketchUp Free. Given your background in 3DS Max, Softimage and Maya, and your desire for a free software with nice rendering, I think your best bet would be to look at Blender: www.blender.org/
I want to learn sketchup... But my parents are not allowing me learn. Can you suggest how to learn myself. And I also wanted to start my career in sketup.
Hi there, I have been looking for the answer to a question, but I guess I don't have enough knowledge or skill about software to find my answer. I hope you guys or any other experts can help me to answer this question: In terms of realism, clarity, depth, or overall quality, is there a difference between Sketchup V-Ray and 3ds Max V-Ray renderings? Please help, if I can find the answer, I will have an idea of what direction I should keep going. I am good in Sketchup and learning V-Ray rending within it, but somehow I feel like others working with 3ds Max +V-Ray is always ahead! I am not sure if it is only about personal skills, or actually the difference between the two software.. Thanks a lot !
Hi Azad - technically, you can get very similar results out of either SketchUp or 3DS Max when it comes to using V-Ray to create the renderings. 3DS Max does come with more tools to make more detailed 3D models (whereas in SketchUp, you have to add extensions to get similar results), so I am guessing that some of the realism that you feel is lacking in SketchUp is due to the models being less detailed than those you see in 3DS Max renderings.
@@SketchUpSchool Hi, thanks for the reply. But consider the models, are exactly same in both, don't you think 3DS max renderings somehow still feel better?
When I get to the end of modelling my building, my materials list is fine. Once I start importing furnishings and other elements from the 3D Warehouse, I get lazy about all the new textures/materials. I'll spend a little more time on this in the future.
You can put more realistic looking 3D plant models with more details into your SketchUp model, but for them to be photorealistic they need to have realistic materials and lighting which can only come from a rendering software like V-Ray.
I am a newbie in software use. But Somehow I want to learn both of these softwares as soon as possible . Please enlighten my path how to make it easier.
The fastest, most efficient way to learn SketchUp and V-Ray for SketchUp would be to take professional courses that walk through them step-by-step. One option for that would be to take a look at our Video Course Library, which starts with our Complete Intro to SketchUp course and includes a comprehensive set of courses covering V-Ray for SketchUp. You can learn more about our Video Course Library here: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library
Good job.i have a project file which has size of 35mb and when i start render with vray sketchup will crash and close all .. but when i try rendering the model which has file size 1.02gb its working. so what you suggest me to check in this problem.
There are many different factors that could be causing a crash. Your best bet would be to post the issue to the V-Ray for SketchUp forums to get help diagnosing the problem: forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/v-ray-for-sketchup-forums
@@SketchUpSchool I thought you have solution Vray or sketchUP support only licence user they don't give support for trail users. i am already tried that.anyway thanks for reply. continue teaching and learning that's appreciated .. .
My contractor is asking about rendering software. Simply, an example is a customer wants to add pocket lights outside but wants to see a rendering of different options. What is the most user friendly software to be able to take a picture of your project, import it and the add pocket lights to see how they look.
Unfortunately, there really isn't a software that gives you a super simple way to do that. You would have to use a 3D modeling software like SketchUp to import the picture and then manually draw a 3D model of the room based off the picture, then use a rendering software to add the realistic lighting (and switch between different options). So you can definitely use SketchUp to do what you want, but if you're new to SketchUp, it's not a quick thing to learn and accomplish. You would need to plan to invest the time into learning how to use SketchUp well, and then more time into how to create realistic renderings. (This would be true in other 3D and rendering software too).
@@SketchUpSchool Thanks for the input. I doubt he'll want to or be able to do that. It's really basic but I've managed an artistic mockup using MS Paint. Cheers. If you know of a better software that could be used the same way I'd be open to trying that.
I watched this video when I was a beginner, and it really helped me a lot, this is also my one of my inspiration in rendering using v-ray for sketchup. And now, I am an almost expert v-ray user, and I came back here and I still feel inspired, so I dont have to say anything but thank you for this video 😁 .. I really like that meaningful word from the start of the video "Render ready" ... When I heard that the model must be render ready, I quickly realized different important points of rendering. Sometimes, one meaningful word can tell us everything. It really helped me before, until I get better, to the point that I created my youtube channel to share my workflow and also to watch my progress, my content is about workflow, I would love some feedback, if you want you can check it out.. peace!! 😁

If you need to get a comprehensive understanding right away, you can learn more about the Video Course Library and sign up for a free trial here: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library Also, we will add this as a topic to potentially cover in a future video here on our RUclips channel. Thank you for the suggestion!
Self thought. But luckily I avoided these problems over the year based on experience. Details - is probably the BIGGEST & most common issue with a lot of Sketchup user. Do not think rendering is somesort of magic that will make anything realistic! Model your item as the same way it exist in real world! Especially objects that gonna be close to your camera view / subject to highlight.
When i render my model the quality of final image is very low. I increased both quality and size but it still doesn't work . If it's possible, please create a video based on quality settings.
If you contact us at team@sketchupschool.com and send along your SketchUp file, we can take a closer look and see if we can help you figure out the issue.

Great video! It's very useful thanks! I see that youre using vray for sketchup on a mac. I've been using sketchup for almost 5 years as an architecture student but I never founded the vray extention for mac. Could you please tell us how did you get it? Thank you. Greetings from Mexico.
great video , thanks... one important setting you did not mention is making sure all your model only shows front faces....allowing you to render single sided materials in rendering software...theoretically reducing render time by 50%... 6 things you need to know and this is probably number 1 on complex models
Can you elaborate on that a bit? Do you have an option in Vray for Sketchup for rendering only front faces? And what does "theoretically" mean here, have you tried it and does it really render faster? Thanks in advance.
@@zlataha I am not familiar with Vray but I would expect it has a setting to enable [single sided] rendering...ie front face only.. so if you are careful with your SU model and make sure only front faces are external,, ie no back faces visible,, you can take advantage of the rendering software option to render single sided... eg reducing the face count by 50%... the face count reduction may not be as large as that as other software factors may also reduce face count.. eg camera field of view or line of sight... here is a link to a 3DMax explanation of this knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-4EACDADD-2F96-4869-91EC-34983EBED732-htm.html

And now, I am an almost expert v-ray user, and I came back here and I still feel inspired, so I dont have to say anything but thank you for this video 😁 .. I really like that meaningful word from the start of the video "Render ready" ... When I heard that the model must be render ready, I quickly realized different important points of rendering. Sometimes, one meaningful word can tell us everything. It really helped me before, until I get better, to the point that I created my youtube channel to share my workflow and also to watch my progress, my content is about workflow, I would love some feedback, if you want you can check it out.. peace!! 😁
Really happy to hear you found this video to be helpful!
Good tips, I also love the sense of humor at the end😂😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the advices, really helpfull.
You're welcome!
Long time sketchup user and found this video very helpful. Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful!
thank you brother for this very helpful video. more power
You're welcome!
tell us more about V-ray proxy and how to use it
We cover how to use proxies in our V-Ray for SketchUp course (in our Video Course Library). If you need to get a comprehensive understanding right away, you can learn more about the Video Course Library and sign up for a free trial here: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library
Also, we will add this as a topic to potentially cover in a future video here on our RUclips channel. Thank you for the suggestion!
Self thought. But luckily I avoided these problems over the year based on experience.
Details - is probably the BIGGEST & most common issue with a lot of Sketchup user. Do not think rendering is somesort of magic that will make anything realistic!
Model your item as the same way it exist in real world! Especially objects that gonna be close to your camera view / subject to highlight.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
very clear and technics, Tq brother
You're welcome!
When i render my model the quality of final image is very low. I increased both quality and size but it still doesn't work . If it's possible, please create a video based on quality settings.
If you contact us at team@sketchupschool.com and send along your SketchUp file, we can take a closer look and see if we can help you figure out the issue.
I am rendering an interior with no windows. do i have to orient anyway?
No, if you are rendering an interior with no windows then you'll just need to add artificial lights.
Great video. I don't know about the sudden, random cake joke and children yelling in a 13 minute, otherwise serious video, but the effort was entertaining. ;) 11:14
Just having a little fun I suppose ;)
My whole class at Nottingham sat down to watch your videos ...you mean so much to us
That's incredible to hear!

Your way of explanation is much understandable. If u give derail tutorial for using vray then I'm sure for subscribing.
We have 3 different V-Ray videos on our channel, and then you can definitely come check out our full V-Ray course on our website: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library
Great video! It's very useful thanks! I see that youre using vray for sketchup on a mac. I've been using sketchup for almost 5 years as an architecture student but I never founded the vray extention for mac. Could you please tell us how did you get it?
Thank you.
Greetings from Mexico.
You can download V-Ray for SketchUp from the Chaos Group website: www.chaosgroup.com/vray/sketchup
great video , thanks... one important setting you did not mention is making sure all your model only shows front faces....allowing you to render single sided materials in rendering software...theoretically reducing render time by 50%... 6 things you need to know and this is probably number 1 on complex models
Thanks for adding this helpful tip! We really appreciate it!
Can you elaborate on that a bit? Do you have an option in Vray for Sketchup for rendering only front faces? And what does "theoretically" mean here, have you tried it and does it really render faster?
Thanks in advance.
@@zlataha I am not familiar with Vray but I would expect it has a setting to enable [single sided] rendering...ie front face only.. so if you are careful with your SU model and make sure only front faces are external,, ie no back faces visible,, you can take advantage of the rendering software option to render single sided... eg reducing the face count by 50%... the face count reduction may not be as large as that as other software factors may also reduce face count.. eg camera field of view or line of sight...
here is a link to a 3DMax explanation of this

@@garyspeed8961 As far as I know, V-ray (for Sketchup) does not have that option.
Brilliant! Thank you for the headsup!
I'd be starting off again with Sketch up and using Vray and this is a head start!

Hi.Am just starting off with SketchUp and Vray and the first part of the checklist I will be implementing will be the Model Orientation followed closely by file optimization.
Thanks alot for sharing. I will go ahead and enrol in SketchUp School.
