Well my friend, I was finally able to make a really good photorealistic render thanks to you. You earnd my sub and respect. Keep it up!

Wow! Thank you for the kind words! We really appreciate it!

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked it!

We take our coffee as seriously as we take our V-Ray for SketchUp training 😉. Glad you noticed!

@@SketchUpSchool, I have a coffee roasting machine in my kitchen... I notice these things... 🤔😂

You're so welcome!

Thank you! Will do!

Please email team@sketchupschool.com with your question and an instructor will follow up with you to try to help.

I'm gonna send a mail too. Having same issues.

De rien 😊

Thank you for the kind words!

Glad you think so!

While you can certainly try to get as far as you can with your assignment, it will take longer than 5 days to really learn V-Ray for SketchUp well. Best of luck, and maybe after your assignment is done you can invest some time into learning V-Ray so that you're ready before your next one.

You're welcome!

Thanks for the kind words!

You can sign-up for a 30-day free trial of SketchUp Pro here: sketchup.com/try-sketchup

Thank you! Cheers!

You're welcome!

Yes, that would be a better strategy for lowering rendering times while getting the look you want.

@@SketchUpSchool Thank you!

Glad to hear you liked the video! Here is a link to the notes: www.sketchupschool.com/the-secret-to-better-vray-renderings/notes

@@SketchUpSchool Thank you so much. But when I click on the Green button "get a copy of the notes", nothing happens :(

A Key light is just another way of saying "the main light" or "the primary light". So in V-Ray, there are different light types and you can use whichever one makes sense as a key or primary light.

Hi Rehyantaka 👋 I am not sure I understand your question... can you send a message to team@sketchupschool.com and explain a bit more?

If I understand the question correctly, it sounds like this is what you would also encounter in the real-world: At more dead-on angles you would be able to more clearly see through a window into the inside, but at wider angles you would see more of the reflected light/environment outside the window. If I've missed the issue, please email team@sketchupschool.com and we'd be happy to try to help further.

You can change your camera exposure before rendering to balance the lighting (and make it brighter)

Hi Zabir 👋 If I understand your question correctly, you can create constraints in SketchUp by creating Dynamic Components. Or, if you know the Ruby programming language, then you can create a script or extension to help with that. As for using a fillet tool: There isn't a fillet tool included in SketchUp's toolset, but you can download and install the FredoCorner extension to add tools to help with that: sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FredoCorner

You have hidden the Default Tray. To show the tray again, select Window > Default Tray > Show Tray

@@SketchUpSchool tqsm

We have a video about rendering Exteriors in V-Ray that you can find here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ft9xpNtnu62rnqs.html

8GB of RAM is the minimum system requirement, but Chaos Group recommends 16GB of RAM. You can find their system recommendations here: docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VSKETCHUP/System+Requirements

@@SketchUpSchool thank you sir. Could you please make video about bitmap in vrat SketchUp.

Yes, that's correct. Sometimes it's more simple to just use your own lighting set-up and not fight the sun or environment light.

@@SketchUpSchool Thank you for answering, sir. That is really helpful

Sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience trying to create photorealistic renderings in the past. The truth is that most courses make it too complicated - the steps to creating photorealistic renderings are actually fairly straightforward. The challenge is not just knowing those steps, but knowing how to make corrections as you go. No one creates a perfect rendering with the first click of the render button. It's about taking a simple approach to testing and iterating your way from a not-so-good rendering to a photorealistic one. For background, I (Alex) am not here on KZfaq to perform or try to become popular or anything like that. I have been teaching real professionals in the real world how to produce the renderings they need since 2005. And I have been trying to condense our proven training approach into videos that more people can find on KZfaq so that I can help more people realize what's possible. I welcome you to contact us (and me) by sending a message to team@sketchupschool.com with any follow-up questions you might have. Even if you never take one of our video courses on our website, we would still be happy to try to help you overcome the issues that you have run into in the past.

For our KZfaq channel, we try to give a more condensed and quick overview to help you understand what goes into creating better renderings. You can adjust the playback speed and/or pause the video if you're trying to follow along as well. But then we also offer more comprehensive, step-by-step courses on our website that are likely to be paced more to your liking: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library
