Curious to get your feedback: Which part of The Photographer Method was most helpful for you? Do us a favor and let us know in the comments below. Thanks!

To be honest all of these steps were super valuable and have taught me about rendering in Sketch Up. The photography method is a great way to explain rendering to students and sketch up beginners.

Alex, as an advanced SketchUp user having been using it since it was released and successfully completing many projects over the years, I am rethinking and relearning how to do everything in SU. I have many complex projects to complete in SU this coming year but decided to take a break and develop a solid set of skills targeted toward organized, efficient and quality modeling. I am about two weeks into my SketchUp School subscription and am already light years ahead of the "advanced" skills that I have developed over 20 years. Your teaching methods are fantastic and I only which I had started learning SketchUp the right way sooner. I also photograph real estate and have a good understanding of light and how to use it in the real world, so I am looking forward to learning SU rendering from you, but only after I relearn everything else.😎🤙

It is literally reducing the panic about sketch up.... iam a self leaner through KZfaq.... your videos are too great sir

I just went through 2 classes, I feel most of the main problems I've been facing are sorted out. Thanks Alex

Alex, your structure for presenting retainable information is remarkable. Thank you from all of us learning.

I am a 13 year old. I obviously don't know how to use it, because I am just getting started with Sketch Up. My Uncle offered me a job on doing Interior Designs for his clients in Dubai, because of it, I get a living for my life. I'd like to thank you for what you have taught us so far, and thanks for making Sketch Up easier than any other applications.

Love your videos. I think the lighting aspects are obviously the most important section. Love this method approach. Another important process in rendering is knowing when to stop. Just like in painting, there is a point of diminished returns. I find that when your scene imbues you with a feeling or emotional response, you will say something like. "That's what I'm talking about!" or "Now we're talkin'" or something to that affect. The emotional response is when you are close. That's when you save camera angles and scenes and effects arsenals. Hit that render button!

This tutorial finds me like flying without wings. Thanks and works better for me Oliver! Be blessed

Tip on lighting was most helpful to me.

I'm learning how to design and render in sketch up as a hobby and to make my future home exactly the way I want it to be. This was very helpful, thanks man!

Alex, you really make things easy, your way of approach is simple and effective. photographer method was very helpful, Thanks for making this video. Am melwin from Bangalore.

What I found most useful? The two points lighting. Thank you, very much.

Photography means painting with light by definition. Great approach and very simply explained! The most useful tip? Probably setting up the exposure in the camera, can save you hours thinking the light could be too bright or too dimmed.. I liked the detail of the brush tool over the lamp!

Well done. I knew nothing about rendering and that has changed dramatically after watching your video. I am not a professional and do not expect to render any models.

I learned something new here, in Photoshop, adjusting the hue, specifically the yellow channel! Great tip!!

i think the photoshop one was the most useful i honestly never thought of adjusting the pictures after taking them out of the program!! so thank you :)

I really liked the first two steps! I'm a newbie at SketchUp, and trying to absorb what I can. Thanks for these SketchUp insights and tips!

I had forgotten about the importance of adding light sources to renderings - thank you for the tip!

3rd part. Easy step. World of difference for new renderer. Thx.

the lighting tip opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me! by adding the appropriate lighting, a lot more drama and character would be added to the final output. and it was really emphasized since the example you used has a dark setting/during night. you earned a new sub!

I found the two point lighting bit most useful. I've struggled with setting up light. I'll give this a go soon, thank you!

This video is very helpful for me to understand the sketchup rendering basic extensions & ideas

Really nice knowledge enhancer, found it quite useful. The second set of advice is quite useful.

Absolutely Fantastic Tutoring, many thanks

Hard to separate the three parts (all great), but the lighting part was the most useful (for me). Great video, keep them coming! I like to see more on this subject!

the lighting and the 90° rule! thank you

All 3 steps are great!

Lighting Part was most useful. Thanks

2.nd step was most valuable this time:)

Brief and very clear, thank you ! what i found the most useful was the FILL & KEY lights. uuuurkh i used to waste so much time just adding light sources everywhere.

i like the lighting part

So important as new user to get some simple grounding, to work from. Lighting for me is key. Thanks.

lighting and photoshop technics just amazed me sir

Adding two lights across opposite above of different types

Thank you for easy to follow advice, it's easily understandable and makes sense. Since you ask I found the micro adjustment lighting effects something I hadn't considered. Many thanks. Tom

Thank you for the tutorial. For me, the most useful is the second method (great lighting)

Thanks it will all be useful but I like more is the Photoshop enhancements

very helpful and to the point, crisp information. I have been looking forward to have a go at blender as well as SU/Vray to create an interior. I am aware of how to use these tools but wanted to have info on how to start and take it till the end. So thank you so much!

Hi, I think your videos are so helpful. I've taught myself sketch up by playing along and wish I had known about these earlier, I am retraining with your advice. I found the lighting the toughest thing to teach myself so will find an extension and try your recommendations on how to use it. Thanks.

Powerful video! Well explained in a short, clear way. The best video about rendering in Sketchup, i've seen yet. I'm definately showing this to my students! Thanks for sharing!

Super informative. The great lighting is most helpful and useful.

This is GREAT! I like the last part with the photoshop. It makes me wanna try it out. Thanks for this wonderful video :)

Great and clear explanation, very usefull.

Very yousefull and clear video: the most usefull part is second one. Still all complex is great

It is so important to have these insights before getting started! Thanks a lot for your help! It filled the gaps in my head :)

Thanks a bunch for the information.

Hey man. Excellent video, thank you. It really helps to simplify the mental approach to rendering. The part that I find more interesting is the Lighting, because the first step is, as you've said, not so critical as you could choose any rendering tool. The last step is the easiest to me, as I'm very experienced in PS. Again, thank you for this.

Wonderful tutorial, very helpful. Great job Alex!

Great advice, the photoshop finish was advice I would have never considered.

Thanks for the video, personally find both second & third part useful

One of the best put together and informative videos I’ve seen in some time, on any topic. Truly excellent. Thanks so much for sharing! For me it’s a tie between the lighting and photoshop methods.

Wow! Alex, this is a great tutorial. I am going to start working like this tomorrow. Thank you very much.

thank you I learned new things

Very helpful and easi to understand.

EXCELLENT VIDEO & TIPS!

Great video, tutorial, man!

I just want to take what I can see in my minds eye and put it on paper, but a complete novice at this kind of tool. The most helpful was the lighting segment (not a photographer either). 1 suggestion: Use a pane that maintains the scene your talking about throughout the video, that shows the adjustments as you talk about them. I like you style in sharing information. Thank you.

The lighting part. Thank you for sharing.

great simple tutorial for rendering on SketchUp. thanks

this was my last shot to learn vray and sketchup. great teaching is all that is needed. thank you so much.

Super helpful and clear description of all steps. Really good tutorial.

All good tips - Lighting method was most useful for me. 😊

Nice channel! Good job. 2. Great Lighting

Excellent. I enjoyed the whole video

This is a new level for me in Sketchup, I am actually a lighting designer. Most useful part of this video was getting an idea of the work flow. Which is something I love about your videos. Some of this is clear, but I'm new enough to Sketchup to be a little confused about your mention of an extension? Where can I get more info on that? regards, JB

love the way u teach sir...🙂

This is really useful,thank you

Great video! Awesome method and explanation.

I actually just learned all of this Thanks

Wao great video now I have a better understanding of my Rendering it's really an eye-opener for me thanks, SketchUp School
