AI Rendering with SketchUp Diffusion - First Impressions

In this video I give a first glance overview of the new SketchUp Diffusion tool. I am also discussing AI rendering in general. This combines a basic how-to tutorial for SketchUp Diffusion with my various thoughts on the tool (given several different use case scenarios) and the general usability of AI for visualization and ideation.

I think its a great early stage ideation tool. It has influenced some of my models and given me direction on some rendering choices. Also its fun to use, just like SU. Great video Alex!
