Rendering in SketchUp - Intro to Interior Lighting

[@ievadabolina]

It is not so easy to start learning new things, when you are a grandmother. Thank you for the concise practical workshop! I got done everything, it is like a miracle!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Really glad you found it helpful! :)

[@gudrunhardar]

I am always so happy if I see a tutorial from you, if it is sketchUp, Twilight ore whatever. Super helpful. You are a grate teacher!!

[@Kini_the_Fox]

suuuuuper good video. i've been a sketchup hobbyist for many years now, and still learn new ways to use it all the time

[@JessiHarris93]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You have helped me with my university course work so much. I really struggled to find an easy to understand and clear tutorial on how to render with Twilight and use the lighting - so happy I came across your channel! I am new to rendering and this has given me the confidence to explore it and play around with it. Keep up the good work, and thank you so much again!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi Jessi! Thanks a lot for this - I had exactly the same issue - I couldn't really find an easy to understand tutorial, so I tried to make one! Glad you liked it!

[@richardhaas1989]

Justin, you recorded this 5 years ago but I just started using Twilight. Thanks!

[@soulmandrummersoulman9609]

Really helpful!
There are many tutorials available, your videos are one of the best, right content, good instructions, right speed, not too fast and not boring slow either, THANKS!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much - glad you're finding them helpful!

[@michelleradovitzky780]

As far as YoutTube goes, you have been a great help with my online learning. Your tutorials are the easiest to follow, thank you!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Great to hear!

[@dadsongs]

Whoa! SO MUCH more helpful than even Twight's tutorials. Rhanks!

[@toddsie]

Awesome video. I've been working with ketchup to build desk models for quite a while and have been happy with the simplicity of the program. I have just recently decided to dive in a bit deeper and I am loving what I am uncovering. It's amazing what can be done with this program and the free twilight render plug in. Thanks for the tutorial this will make my work that much better.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome Todd - glad you found it helpful!

[@catallaxy]

Excellent video - thank you. This is the best video I have seen on Twilight render because it is so concise and to the point. Thank you again.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

That's great - exactly what I was going for with this series!

[@jdsdesignmodeling906]

By far the best Sketchup tutorials on you tube. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much - really appreciate it!

[@pijargemilang7182]

Thank you sir. Very helpful for me who just started learning Twilight.

[@usiski85]

awesome tutorial. using a color to create led light strips works awesome.

[@SeductiveNeptune]

Hey - this was fantastic! I used to painstakingly export to Blender for lighting/rendering but then I watched this and within 30 minutes I was adding random bulbs to every possible surface. Thanks!!! I think?

[@timngoo3416]

Thank you a lot of your video tutorials in sketchUp. easy for learning and understand.

[@misterdaz1018]

Thank you very much, Justin. I wish I could like this video more than once.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - I appreciate it!

[@jasminechristian5964]

This was the best interior light video it helps a lot you were very clear and detailed!
Thank You

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - glad you liked it!

[@MichaelSafwat]

Thx for your amazing detailed tutorial

[@khazaannazeem3271]

Great Video! really helpful for someone that is new to sketchup

[@APBP1]

the lighting off the tv looked like a chalk board. but man, you run through that stuff so well and so clearly. awesome job. i didnt know about the exposure too much so i was running bulbs about 1000 watts. oops. twilight so far is my favorite rendering program. i have it on a more powerful pc and its just amazing the results.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - I used to do the same thing - using the exposure is WAY better. Thanks for watching!

[@tariquekungle95]

Superb sir.
Like & love you from India 🇮🇳 really like your talent and respect from deeply my heart ♥.

[@mabeladewunmi]

Hello. Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful. Just a small problem...when I try to render, it doesn't work, it just shows this checkered image and then when the render is complete, the image is just blank. Please, help.

[@ahmedkordi6772]

very very helpful . I have tried many videos but u r special finally i got it

[@willembuiting]

Great, great video! I will give this a try today. Never tried this before. It looked difficult to me but with the help of this video it should work. I have Twilight installed. Good stuff Justin!

[@willembuiting]

Hi Justin. Today I followed your lead on the interior of my castle. Great result right from the start. Thanks again for this video. Very helpful.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - Glad it helped!

[@jennifercohen2062]

Great video and super helpful thakn you so much! I got everything up until the rendering part, my "Render" box where my room perspective view is supposed to be keeps coming up as a grey box, any suggestions?

[@roc1911]

Thank you, your explanation is quite clear, I learned many things here.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - glad you found it helpful!

[@babuskamuska]

Hi! I'm rendering my image, but all my sheer curtains are turning out gray. Could you please help me understand what I'm not doing right or not clicking right. Thank you!

[@AnjdexMiel]

Thanks for that video, step by step tutorial.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@jonathanchampagne3882]

Thanks so much for the video. It was very informative. Enough to get me going with Twilightrender. Awesome job!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome!

[@geminibsee]

Hi Justin, thank you so much for your tutorials. Do you know what's the best Twilight settings (i.e Exposure, Gamma, Saturation) that could give you a more Close to Reality look of the room indoor Illumination when using the IES lamp values with no Outdoor Ambient or natural light contribution. Looking forward to your reply.

[@e65666]

Nice video

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it

[@onahvalentine8766]

I have been following your tutorial since i get to know you, you are amazing

[@dunderflopp]

You are THE MAN. This video was perfect. Thank you!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👊

[@boryanaangelova9068]

incredibly helpful! Thank you

[@TheKevphil]

I take it that there is no hard-edged interior lighting that displays inside the preview window, the way that sunlight does on a model's exterior? I'm just looking for something I can use as a guide to hand-rendering shadows. Thanks! Very good tutorial, btw, ;) BTW: If I use a Section Slice to "remove" a ceiling, would the outdoor Sun have any influence on the interior? (For once, someone doesn't *_want_* soft shadows!)

[@MThead911]

How do I use the light, but keep the sketchy style I set up in the room?

[@jobynamcgee8563]

Thank you and just what I wanted to know. Since 2 years ago. I wish to have my Patreon subscription ended. This is another example of knowing you were never listening to what I was saying I wanted to learn while being your Essentials student.. You never mentioned this series was available and I asked many questions and told you my goals? The "conversation with "you guys" seems to be only one way?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Well first of all I'm a bit disappointed (and confused) to hear you say this, especially considering the number of questions I answered both as you went through the course and as you were in the community. I tried to be as responsive as I could be and I'm sorry you feel that I didn't meet your expectations.
Last we spoke, your goal was to learn to use Blender for 3D modeling and rendering, which as I recall was the reason you left the community (which is fine by the way, but I can't support Blender modeling inside a SketchUp community). I'm not sure how a video on a series about Twilight Render aligns with that goal, so once again...confused.
As to the Patreon subscription, you're going to have to go cancel that yourself. You have full control over your support and I actually can't go in and change your subscription in any way. Thank you for your support

[@pj2418]

Justin! You did a fantastic job with this video AND you got me started with a software that I had not heard of! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You have a very bright future ahead (get it :)?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol! Thanks Dan - glad you found it helpful!

[@damarkovavidea]

Thank you for this great tutorial! I am only wondering, can you also make the light source visible as well? I mean like to be able to see the actual light bulb shining and not just casting light?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You'd want to apply an emissive material to the bulb to make it glow - the light comes from the artificial light object, the glow comes from the emissive material

[@damarkovavidea]

@@Thesketchupessentials thank you very much!

[@cerquinhofernanda5483]

Very good and clear. Thank you

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You are welcome!

[@luiznascimento224]

How do I download this scene so I can learn, thank you for helping us a lot with your knowledge

[@ajtt1523]

Which is better for both interior & exterior rendering Vray or Twilight?? What are the differences?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Depends on what you value. Vray definitely has more options, but is more expensive

[@vonijoe]

I'd like to use my existing Kerkythea point lights in Twilight Render Hobby (free version). Is there a way to do this? I'm using older SU6 and SU8. Thanks for the videos!

[@jaysonjavier6566]

emitters are good for TV
anyway, Nice content, looking forward to see more

[@mfn6365]

Very good tutorial!! Thanks!!

[@2002makki]

Love your tutorials, not to long and plenty explanation. Thanks a million ....( BUT..Sorry but the back ground music is kine irritating... :-( and makes it sometimes harder to concentrate. ) BUT... another but a positive one, i will keep watching your tips and ticks and hope to see many more. And i will support you sometime ( $ ).

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Marco!

[@SuelenCarvalho]

Awesome content! Thanks!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad it helped!

[@TheSamanthaTobias]

is there a way to implement the lighting you choose into your sketch drawing while you work? can it only be utilized when exporting renders? in other words id like to see the light when im working in my drawing... is that possible?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't understand - the lighting is specifically generated by and rendered in your rendering engine

[@dadsongs]

Excellent video as always. When choosing the type of light, do you know if twilight rendering has a candlelight setting?

[@djdesigns81]

great video man. Information was spot on.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - glad you liked it!

[@ernestp.5272]

Thank you very much.This was very informativ.

[@mariaellers8026]

hi Justin, I am completely new to Sketchup and Rendering and so even this is a little too complicated do you have any other videos where you go through the tools step by step and please don't do things "real quick" as it is too hard to follow. Thank you great work by the way.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You could probably start here (ruclips.net/video/go8UrmmZ6TE/видео.html)

Is the Twilight addon still free by any chance? I can't seem to find the "hobby" version of it.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

As far as I know...

[@rebeccalineberry6691]

I'm having trouble getting the program to render my ceiling and flooring correctly. Any suggestions? I just downloaded this today so speak slowly and use small words. Thanks!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi Rebecca - you're going to have to be more specific as to your problem. What's it doing (or not doing)?

[@fact3160]

Sir, i want light material for thea v2.0, for sketchup, can u send me ur on model link that have all lighting material, so i can import them on my sketchup 2018 for thea render, pls help sir

[@bzz3624]

Good video.How can you work with natural light from a window as opposed to artificial?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi there! I'm planning on making a video about how to do this in the future. However, in general, you need an opening in the building, and I think you need to use one of the sky environments (I think physical sky) to light your model. Thanks for watching!

[@jdickson27]

Hi! I love this series of twilight videos. the first few times I ran a prelim render with 1-2 light sources it rendered quickly. Now it takes FOREVER to render a prelim (I have No idea how long it is actually taking, I've never had the patience to wait more than 15 min for a prelim)! I don't know what happened. I purged unused materials, and deleted all lights and tried to start over with just 1. Any tips?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

How big is your file? I've never had a preliminary render take that long...

[@dibakarpaul4788]

bro I need more videos on twilight render

[@likeajellyace]

Yo bro, you forgot to put your cap on, but great vid as always. Luv you man

[@Thesketchupessentials]

LOL - it does happen occasionally ;p

[@bigguix]

super video ! but god daim the pops in that mic ! :)

[@trebor229]

Thanks for this.. I'm using Vray, are you familiar with that too? This twilight plugin looks like it's much easyer to use!

very helpful. thank you!

Thanks lecturer

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@Musictron]

Great video!

[@climaxdesigns]

so i set lights in twilight and every render was super fast, then i was like hmmm i actually would rather some materials to emmit light, the render took SOOOOOOO long even on prelim, is this expected or should they run about the same?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

They talk about that a bit in this forum post - www.twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4763 - seems like adding emitters usually really slows down renders, so be careful how and when you use them, and also try to minimize the number of faces that are emitters. Thanks!

[@climaxdesigns]

yeah i came across that forum post before i asked you :D

[@CADDIA]

its lovable thank you

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

thankyou! very helpfull

[@guessing_elle7335]

hi may I ask. I already tried to add interior lighting but when I tried to render using twilight the light dont come up what would be the possible problem.Help me pls...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'm going to need more information. You add interior lighting, then when you press the render button, the lights that you added aren't actually generating light?

[@kISaMeMur]

@@Thesketchupessentials Hi, i found this tutorial only now and have the same problem (light dont render, only interior) I'm usink sketchup 17

[@sophiestatic454]

I have a kinda big problem here... whenever I click on the render start button..the render stops at 2seconds and leaves me with a blurry picture od the template itself. Doesnt matter which quality I choose or anything...when i add light emitting object twilight wont render, as soon as I remove the emissive source it renders normally.. Please do help, im a newbie at all of this and I really need advice. Thanks in advance

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hmm...interesting - is it a really big model? It may be a RAM issue, I'm not really 100% sure. You may want to post a question in the Twilight Render forums - www.twilightrender.com/phpBB3/index.php - Those guys know a lot more about this than I do. Thanks!

[@sophiestatic454]

TheSketchUpEssentials It's not huge but it does have a fully furnished enterrior which posseses somewhat complex shapes...and lighting up the place is essential for this particular project.. I have 16GB ram..
I'll check there for help too, thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

16 GB ram should be plenty for what you're trying to do. Does it act the same even if you select some of the interior presets instead of the exterior or easy presets?

[@sophiestatic454]

I just tried all of the interior presets...and unfortunately I got the exact same results.

[@sophiestatic454]

Now I tried on a new model with just two simple cubes in it and got exactly the same results...ouch

Does Twilight hobby work on the free version of sketchup?

hey, when i inserted light, my render slowed like a 1000x times, you know why?

[@akitax1803]

i used a couple of furnitures as well

[@Thesketchupessentials]

What kind of light did you insert? Second question - did it slow down after you added furniture, or before? If you added a lot of geometry heavy items, that could be slowing it down as well.
