Sketchup Final Render
Fairy Dawdy
If I understood right, the right way to set up SketchUp views for batch render is to preview them (with sync off??) in the enscape window and use the create scene button, right? This way I can preview them in the enscape windows "views" tab and correctly render them. Only thing is that the default enscape window might not be perfectly 16:9? Or is it? I noticed the view gets rendered with more pixels on top & bottom but width fits perfectly. Is there a way to set my preview window to be perfectly 16:9? Read something about Enscape and SketchUp using horizontal / vertical FOV or so and that might cause the inconsistency?
I can help with that, took me ages to figure out why it wasnt working. So first you have to unsynchronize views (blue arrow cam) and next you will set your desire views within Enscape's window, when you are happy with the view you save it with the Enscape "Create scene". Now that you have all you scenes, if you want to render batch you have to keep sync views off and select the views you wanna render and it will all be good.
Notice: sometimes it takes cut plane in consideration, no idea why BUT, I found that if you update your scene without the plane, it will still work.
We, the entire SkUp team and I reset the SketchUp viewport to our preferred aspect ratio first to define our scenes. Also in our case this is usually the HD aspect ratio, e.g. 1920 x 1080 or a multiple of it. Within SketchUp it is not important how big the aspect ratio is actually, what is important is the viewports determined ratio of width to height! So we guarantee an always identical, fully SkUp-synchronized and always else- and everywhere reproducible render view. This procedure is very simple and works with Synchronize Views. To reset SkUp's viewport to our desired sice we use Julia Christina Eneroth's "Resize Viewport" plugin.

hope this way could help you as well
Thanks Egie. This looks like to be perfect for single export of individual scenes with perfect control over size and aspect ration. Batch export seems to be a different process all together so for that we will continue to create scenes via Enscape preview window, unsynced and batch render with sync off.
You are awesome! I have been going insane wondering why some models/views worked well and others "zoomed out". I must have been creating some scenes while synced, and others while not synched. Some from setting the desired view in Sketchup, others in Enscape.
Hello everybody. What visualizer program is used in sketchup other than vray. When buying a pro version, which renderer will I get. Or will I have to buy it separately? Does the pro version have a standard visualizer program? Sorry for my english if so
It can export 2D images, video and the best part - you get to walk through your model live at pretty much the same quality level as render output, make changes to your model and materials and see it update immediately - perfect!
You will need to drop the sunlight to 5% and, most importantly, add fill light. On YouTube, search for Mostafa Lamey, Modulus Render, and others that go through this process. It is really easy and quick.
Hey! im looking for a extension to make fast and simple renders in sketchup, its been a while and the last time i did i used to be a student and know i come across the fact that basically all of the rendering motors are under suscription, is it oout there any option for free? i mean im not asking for too much quality o hyper realism
For ease of use, Twinmotion is a game engine based realtime renderer somewhat similar to Enscape, and it is free for personal use.
Kerkythea is a free versatile standalone rendering application with an export plugin for SketchUp.
Thank you so much to everyone! I have tried almost all of your suggetions and in the end i proceeded with the Trimble visualizer, as it was the easier to use for my colleagues that are not so familiar with rendering procedures, thanks again!
Indeed, if i had to choose for personal use i would choose D5, but as its a choice intended for people who need fast basic good looking pictures without having to set much stuff i think it gets to the main goal, thank you all!
You should look at the Substance for Blender plugin it works well as a find and replace material editor for the SU files and you dont need to open anything in substance painter (but you do need a license key).
It means I can directly add substance materials to sketchup models in Blender in a few seconds without opening any of the substance apps. Use Substance files (SBSAR) inside Blender 2.81 (install & use) - YouTube
I successfully imported my SU files (2 of them) into Blender. One other though failed, it only imported a small portion of the model? I suppose it might be the size perhaps? Drawn to scale its nearly 400m long and the actual dae. file is 140 mb.
please use the Blender forum and create a topic, there. The way discourse forums work is that it is actually one big pile of posts and mixing problems from other software messes things up for users that are looking for their problems with SketchUp camera settings.
The Enscape SketchUp real time rendering plugin provides you with the ability to render, walkthrough, flythrough, create animations, and virtually experience your model in 3D with incredible simplicity.
Using Enscape as your SketchUp renderer can help you bring your visualizations to life since Enscape comes with a built-in asset library with over 1,900 high-quality assets, a materials editor and lighting options for SketchUp.
Enscape is designed to allow the process of rendering an image quick and easy. To begin, you must start the Enscape viewport, which can be done by clicking on the start button located on the toolbar. Read this article for a full overview.
Good modeling is fundamental to creating realistic renderings. It is a crucial aspect. No matter how awesome your rendering configuration is, if your model is of poor quality, your result will be as well. Read this article for a full overview.
Enscape for Mac is now available. Plug Enscape directly into your SketchUp software and discover the ease and speed of an integrated design and visualization workflow. Visit this page for more information.
SketchUp was released in 2000 as a general 2D/3D modeling software. It was then acquired by Google in 2006 and renamed Google SketchUp. Trimble purchased SketchUp from Google in 2012, and the software continues to evolve and be used by millions around the world.
When you design a model in SketchUp, it appears as a simple drawing that can show shadows colors and material textures, but it does not process reflections, lighting from lights or the sun, etc. Many designers want their models to look photoreal, and rendering software is needed to do this.
For exterior scenes, you will get good renderings because of the software shadows and lighting of the renderer and the natural reflection of glass and other transparent objects. In the image below, the water in the pool was marked as reflective and given a bump effect.
Hi. Yes of course you can do that in 3dsMax. Have no idea why rendermaster are saying "no way", since it is in fact quite easy - when you first know how to do it. In fact there are more ways to do it. The "fastes" being using Nitrous "Stylized" presets (Graphite, Color Pencil, Ink etc.) - but you will need to find a script to tweek the settings to get a decent result. Then there's the "mr Contour Shaders" and Scanline/Standard "Ink&Paint", that can be used together if you're using the mr renderer.
Personally I mostly use multimaterials nested inside a Ink&Paint material rendered with mental ray (mr). I've attached a picture-example. There is a few tricks one need to know to make it work, but instead of trying to explain, I've attached an example file (max2014).
Thanks for this Brian. It works well.
What is the best way to get the dark shadows you see in the renders I had enclosed?
Is the intention on this to be able to apply the materials without putzing around with texture mapping (rather, just assigning the material into the layer/object)?
Is it best to turn on curves in the render display mode or in the universal render settings?
Thanks!
(are there concrete board form textures that you know of per chance?)4-10-2017 9-23-40 PM.jpg1252769 169 KB
Powerful engine combined with the simplicity of Trimble SketchUp. Unbiased and Interactive Render modes with the joy of rendering inside SketchUp view. Enrich your models with highly detailed content, with no limitations.
Run interactive rendering either inside Thea window or directly inside the SketchUp view. Additionally, with the use of interactive region rendering, you can select and render a region of the SketchUp view, providing ultra-fast feedback for complex scenery. With the addition of the NVIDIA and Intel AI denoisers, it is also possible to make use of denoising while in interactive mode.
Relight creates infinite images from a single render. When Relight is enabled, every light in the scene can be modified (intensity, color and status) and create different lighting setups in post production. Every Relight setup can be saved in the Relight Editor panel as a snapshot and then loaded back to the rendering window for further editing or exported as an image file.
