Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Roombox in the comments below! :)

Helloo my name ia Ovidiu i am from Romania love You video You have any tips about ocl and material raport

[@el_andreasu.nwaigwe8753]

sooo! cool!!

[@ericambroson3061]

RoomBox is a game changer for the the very reasons you mentioned. It saves a lot of time and memory. I'm excited to try creating custom maps in PhotoShop. Thanks for posting!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@marysketch4772]

This is pretty cool. Definitely a game changer for those who do exterior renderings! Wish I did more exterior renderings. I don't suppose it would work on interior office videos, only static renderings. Sometimes I only want to model a high -profile area in an office video, but wish I could fill in generic work spaces and conference rooms in the distance. Maybe that's next.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I think it might work for something like that, but I think it would really depend on how close your camera gets to those rooms. I'd download it and try it out with the free rooms they offer :)

[@snowsmile7113]

Thank you for sharing this video! First time hearing about RoomBox. Will definitely check it out!

[@craigstephens93]

Very Cool. They've been doing this kind of thing in game design for years. I always find it interesting how the Architectural Visualisation industry is always so behind the game developers. Glad we have it now on SU.

[@weewhiskydram1294]

Looks very good, I wlll definitely give it a try.

[@hammad521]

Justin I have installed it but when i try to download any free map It always says "Cannot download marketplace map: download request failed, raw request failed, invalid response". What is the issue, why can i not download the free map?

[@Deontjie]

It is four 'o clock in sunny Cape Town now.

[@PalindromeDesign]

Awesome info. So much better than filling interior scenes sloppily, or the poor look of flat JPEG images behind the windows.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Totally - this is a really cool tool :)

[@nathanielwilkerson6217]

Very nice.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Yeah - this is a really smart add-on - I can TOTALLY use this

[@andresjimenez4503]

is it available for d5 render? could we import it to D5 render?

[@mraliali1579]

Thanks for your Justin.. good video

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@cdavid7612]

Would this work in Lumion?

[@kiyer667]

It always says "Cannot download marketplace map: download request failed, raw request failed, invalid response" even I turned off my windows firewall protection. Can somebody help me, please?

[@MatteoManzi]

For those who are interested D5 Render already has this option, realized better by the way...

[@weewhiskydram1294]

Didn’t D5 stop supporting sketch up?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

@@weewhiskydram1294 Ummm...no. No they did not

[@weewhiskydram1294]

@@Thesketchupessentials Thats so weird, I am sure I got an email about it a while back.

[@Christensendesignstudio]

I’m an interior designer… what software or plugin would you recommend for me to photo realistically render an interior? Easy to use.

[@karthikthileepan7011]

Any render engine is fine. The real deal is to learn how to do post production of the render in photoshop. Thats the game changer

[@Thesketchupessentials]

There's a few good ones - generally if you're looking for easy to use, I'd recommend something realtime. I know a LOT of interior designers that use Enscape. You might also try Twinmotion. D5 gets good results but requires very stout hardware.

[@LandonMeserve]

Sorry totally off-topic. Would you ever consider learning/teaching Houdini? Procedural cities and 3D assets.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - I'd like to, but I just don't have the time right now. Honestly THAT level of nodes has never been my thing. I feel like I could learn it, but the mental energy it would take would probably negatively affect my ability to create for the channels I already have
