There are 3 different ways to create artificial lights within Enscape. The first two are by adding lighting objects, and the last is by creating an emitter material.
Let’s start by taking a look at the two lighting objects, pointlights and spotlights. You can add these to your models as objects by going up to the “Enscape Objects” button. This then gives you two different options.
The first - a pointlight - is exactly what it sounds like - it creates a point within your model that shines a light in all directions. Basically all you do to add one of these is set a base point, then an actual location in 3D. You can see that this gets brought in to your model with a SketchUp object placeholder, so you can see how and where this light exists within your model. You can copy/paste these objects just like normal SketchUp geometry. In addition, you can also adjust the brightness of these objects within the Enscape “Objects” menu section.
You can also hide or unhide these objects to turn them on and off. Finally, note that you can adjust the amount of light these objects produce by using the scale tool to adjust their size.
One good way to create these lights in your model, like a lamp, then place a point light where the light bulb would go.
Now, let’s talk about spotlights. The difference between point lights and spotlights is that spotlights have a direction - meaning they don’t just shoot light off in whatever different direction - they actually point at something - so you place these with a point, then you set a direction.
You can still adjust the brightness, but for this tool, you can also adjust the beam angle, or the width of the cone of light that’s created. Note that when you adjust this, you can see the width of the light “Cone” within SketchUp.
You can place these lights within a SketchUp component option so that you have geometry to go along with your light.
Note that if you brighten these up too much, your materials will get washed out. Try to set your lights to accurate real-world brightnesses, then use the exposure brightness setting to make your model brighter.
The last kind of light you can add is called an emitter material. This is not a light object, but more of a material/texture that creates light. You can adjust the settings for something like this using the materials editor (added in V2.2). Simply go to the option for self illumination and you can set the brightness, color, etc.
I will note that I have not tested Enscape emitters with really high polygon items, so it might be a good idea to reduce the amount of polygons in your emitters for performance, but overall it seems to run much faster than an emitter in a static rendering program.

I adore the way you explain, and I just want to tell you just how appreciative we are that you give these easy-to-understand tutorials
Thanks a ton
Great video Justin. Most of this can be applied in other rendering programs.
Endscape sure is impressie!
Thank you!
Thanks Willem!
Sir you are amazing, master of architectural software.
Thanks a lot for that. I've just downloaded Enscape and your video was really helpful in filling in a lot of gaps!! Love your work....
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful!
I like your videos and I only suggest is do show the keys shortcut your using during the work. It will be easy to knw..
Yeah this isn't as easy as it is in something like Blender, which is why I don't do it
@@Thesketchupessentials hmm bt to be frank am an Apparel Designer and I started to learn this whole new interior/ exterior design from SketchUp and your works made me feel comfortable. So thank you for that..😊
THANKYOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! IT HELPS A LOT!!!
Glad it helped!
dude this was so helpful, thanks a lot. love your videos
thanks man, it was amazing. and well Enscape is way too easy to work with. i am in love with this tool and now u r the saviour. thanks again mate
Wow amazing.. 😂😂
Actually im starting right now to learn this tutorial.. Your the best thank you.. 🙏🙏
Thanks man
Thanks Justin, great video. I'm new to Enscape for Sketchup and loving the possibilites. You mentioned you would like some suggestions for some more tutorials...
i) I would love to see a tutorial on External House render, Day & Twilight...this would then lead onto next topic....
ii) How to light the interiors of a house evenly for an External Twilight render.
ii) With the new release of Enscape 2.3, I see there are now 6 light types....Sphere, spot, line, rectangle and disk...would love to see a tutorial on how to use each of the new ones. =)
Thanks for the suggestions! :)
Justin, Thanks for the helpful overview for version 2.2.
I had tried out enscape a few months ago during it's earlier stages and was initially impressed with the program overall.
The only things that turned me away was the lack of settings for materials, artificial lighting options and proxy objects.
You have done an amazing job reviewing the updated versions features for materials and lighting.
It would be great if you could review proxy objects within enscape v2.2 for skecthup.
Possibly seeing if it is compbatible with the program skatter?
To date I haven't come across any content going in depth with this feature.
Dealing with proxies really is the main selling point for me at this moment.
Keep up the great work in the meantime!
I'll add it to my list of tutorials to do - I haven't covered proxies yet, so that's a good topic - thanks for the idea!
Great!
One last thing. Do you know if Enscape requires an active internet connection or if it can be used offline?
Thanks!
Really helpful crash lighting course!! Cheers!!
Glad it helped! :)
Excellent tutorial , thanks
Thanks, Justin, this is a very helpful video. Cheers!
Thanks Oscar!
Appreciate the tutorial as always, Justin! But I really do think you could have used some more blinks...lol
Sigh....right :)

Enscaped is truly imprrssive..😍
It is a pretty cool program - thanks!

Hey Justin! can you make a video dedicated to CLAY RENDERS, I know it's pretty simple but you always tell the best possible sources and settings, so, I just wanted to cross check that what I know is good enough or not. Also please tell both for paid and non-paid options.
Probably at some point - I'm planning on starting with Vray next month, so maybe I can talk about it then...
very thorough, thank you so much!
ممتاز جدا

Is it possible to change the color of the light??
Just Super Thank You Buddy. and Please Change Your Cap😉
Negatory - I like my cap
@@Thesketchupessentials im have been following you since 2018. and i really appreciate for your every single video. and will you make a one more tutorial? in blank dark room. No window etc. and work on IES light. And Ceiling Light Emmsive Light. because i still can't work on that. specialy Emmsive ceiling light in day light room.
Hi justin, without using enscape how do we create spot light? Im creating pendant light but it is not self illuminating from source and in pendant light inner side is also not illuminating. Please help me with these.
I don't understand - you can't create spotlights and detailed lighting like this without some kind of rendering program...
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uJoxaIrdyhcw_4tMQNxoMe4dINc006qm?usp=sharing see these images. in these images the image named as light.jpg is not showing the light effect as shown in another picture at the source.
How to put music on enscape??
Thank you!
Muito bom! Era exatamente isso q eu procurava
i have one doubt sir in the enscape plugin the spot light how to change the white light into other color sir
Try this - ruclips.net/video/A5IpiJh0IJQ/видео.html
Justin, I'm having a bit of a problem with rendering my model... I've created a model with a complex, fluid, smooth surface. Yet when I render it (with a smooth reflective surface), it turns out blocky, or showing the multiple small faces (very small, but still problematic) involved in the shape. I'm wondering if you know of a way, aside from Photoshop, to lessen this issue...?
I have two options I'm thinking of; firstly recreate the whole model in a larger size and with more segments per curve etc... OR take the existing model and shrink it an extreme amount in hopes that it lessens the problem. While the former is kind of a nightmare, it seems the only true course of action.
Your help, as always is much appreciated!
Thanks
Is your model really small? If so, maybe just start by re-scaling the whole thing using the tape measure tool (ruclips.net/video/YRC1gg4tWx8/видео.html) - sometimes you get weird results in SketchUp with small geometry. Alternatively, do you have any faces overlapping within your model? That could cause odd results as well...Finally, maybe try a different material and see if that changes anything. Thanks!
Very informative video Justin. Thank you for the tutorial. However, I still have a problem with artificial lights being automatically off during the day time. Is there any way to keep them on?
Are you sure they're off and not just overwhelmed by the strength of the sun?
@@Thesketchupessentials Thank you for your response. I have uploaded 2 photos of daylight and night time for your review. Because of the orientation of the building, I don't get much light in that indentation and I don't know how to brighten it up since the Enscape lights seem to not really work when it's before around 5 PM. ibb.co/hRfdb81
ibb.co/ZLYkfZq
Greate tutorial Justin！Just wondering are these lights creating shadows？I know in Lumion only Spot light cast shadows and others just only provide lighting. Thanks
How to change the colour of light?
do i need ies for the lighting?
nice
Hi there! I don't find "Enscape Objects" in my sketchup. Is it because of version? I am using sketchUp Pro 2016. Help! Thanks in advance.
What version of Enscape do you have?
I am sorry is it a separate plugin ? If so then I don't have. Please let me know where to download it from. Thanks.

Great Thanks :)
nice!
Thanks!
This is probably not the video to ask this but im vray 3.4 for sketchup and i want to know how do i render top to bottom vs triangulation?
I don't understand what you're trying to do, so I'm not sure how to help
TheSketchUpEssentials render region division options. you have top to bottom , triangulation and a few others but i rather use top to bottom but I’m not sure how to fins that option in vray 3.4
Hi can you please tell me you PC specs. your PC is moving quite smooth
Can't remember if I talked about it in this video or not - ruclips.net/video/BmhoGKXtESw/видео.html
love from india ..im an archi this tutorial saved me from my jury viva thanks budd
Glad it helped!
Every time I try to add a light SketchUp crashes. Any idea how to fix this? I have a good laptop so that can't be the problem.
1. Uninstall SketchUp
2. Install Revit
Wow nice!!!
Glad you liked it!
Hey I'm in big trouble please help I am install new version of sketchup 2017 and vray 3.4 but when I'm open vray matrial box when only tic my sketchup screen is small like in your this video sides are black
Or all display is ok only draw screen is small menu and toolbar is ok
How to remove and when I'm applay to material select object it's can't add material so how I'll solve please give answer as fast as you can
Honestly I'm not sure on this one - you may try unistalling and reinstalling Vray, and also updating your graphics card drivers. Beyond that, you may need to post something in the Vray Chaos Group forums. Thanks
TheSketchUpEssentials thanks for information I'll try that
bro, is it possible to change the color of the point light and spotlight?
Thanks!
Apply a material to the lights to adjust the color
I have a Mac and it doesn’t give me the option to use a point light. Is this only available on windows?
its good and easy to make the lighting but still lost color temperature of light function
There's a color temperature slider in the image tab - does that help at all? Otherwise you might need to use this workaround - forum.enscape3d.com/index.php?thread/1096-can-we-adjust-the-light-temperature-emited/ - Thanks!
Great video Justin! Just one question. When i do self illumination material the light emitted by that material is too weak. Even if I do luminance maximum its too weak and cant seen in render
I have two questions plz give the answer.
1.Is graphics card is muct to use enscape for shetchup?
2.And can we create a walk-through of shetchup model using Enscape?
I don't understand the first question - a graphics card is a must just to use SketchUp, let along Enscape. And yes, you can create a walk-through of a SketchUp model with Enscape...
TheSketchUpEssentials thanks dear for ur answer but i am using shetchup without graphics card and 2gb graphics card is ok to use enscape
Can you tell how to make a desert in sketchup. And mud structure house
You're probably going to wan to use sandbox tools - ruclips.net/video/1xONPLFPPzo/видео.html - For the house, I'd need a picture of what you're talking about
TheSketchUpEssentials how can show you. I want to learn it for my thesis project. For example if you have seen qasr al sarab desert resort i learn alot from your work its really inspiring if you can help with that please. I can't get exact sharp sand ridges and the modelling too
This is fun! thank yoU
Sir I have doubt
When I open enscape for sketchup
It shows a message
" Your graphics card is not supported.enscape is using your GPU from Intel"
What to do ????
I also support lumion 6.5
There is no issue with graphic card
Generally it's a good idea when leaving a post like this to note what graphics card you have. That said, it sounds like you need a different graphics card based on Enscape's requirements...
I don't have any graphic card
Then this message is telling you that since you don't have a graphics card, it's using your onboard graphics processor built in to your CPU. As long as you don't have a graphics card, you're going to get this message
How much graphic card is required
How to solve this problem
hi, thank you for the video! Can i ask, why is spotlight does not show any light?
No clue - not enough power? Blocked by something?
@@Thesketchupessentials Hi, thanks for replying, I already made it show light.. you are right, it does not have enough power.
helo , is it possible to make light ON when i got my sky and sun ON too ? /i just need to bring some light into dark parts of my interior ..../
Should be - you might just have to turn your brightness up for the lights
yes you are right , btw is it possible to change color of spot , point light ?
what color light
how to change the light colour?
Apply a SketchUp material to the light :)
ah ! I see , thx Justin ! BTW , nice tutorial .
Thanksss
Which enscape version is??
oh wow It's a great video! I'm from Mexico and I have question. (sorry by my english) can you tellme if i can activate this program please?
Love
👊
Please! Make a other rendering video by Vray! I love your video. Thanks
Vray videos will start very shortly! Thanks! :)
thank you so much

please Justin. who i can make panorama pic from ketchup and publish it a Facebook
For a panorama, you're probably going to need to use a rendering program - I think Enscape can do this. You might be able to do it in Vray as well...
thanks alot
I have a question, I use sketchup make, I work with my father, who has a construction company, when we take some budget. I do the project of the client's house, and I send the photos of how the construction will be, but we do not charge anything for the plant, and everything given for free, we only do so that the client has an idea of how he will stay at his house, wanted know if it is forbidden for companies to use the make version of sketchup, I asked for some they said yes, but on the license of sketchup make says:
"Trimble Navigation Limited and / or its affiliates (" Trimble ") grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-attributable, non-exclusive license to use the executable version of the Software for non-commercial use. If you are any type of business organization or employee of a commercial organization that uses the Software or Services as such, you are employed in a commercial activity and , so to use the Software or Services, you must purchase the SketchUp Pro license. "
Are you saying that I can not sell the projects that I do, I'm just in doubt with the term "lend", does it mean that I can not give the clients the free projects?
It says right in the description you posted "If you are any type of business organization or employee of a commercial organization that uses the Software or Services as such, you are employed in a commercial activity." You're using it for the organization, so it's a commercial use, so you should have a pro license.

Good tutorial but.. obviously you just make it too long with uneccesary bla bla.. you could just show it in 3 minutes..
No - I actually take the time to explain what I'm doing so people that are trying to learn the software have some context. If you want a "super super fast" video, you might want to go find some speed modeling videos instead...
