A fantastic introduction, SketchUp School, thank you. As a long time SU user who has been timid of jumping into the world of photorealistic rendering, you have given me the confidence to go for it! Thank you!
Great video!. I am self taught sketch up person, learning by videos and a lot of effort and dedication for about 3 years, and never saw an explanation so clear, thanks so much!
EXTREMELY helpful, you explained everything very clearly. I came with so many questions in my mind about a project I'm working on, solved them all ! So lucky ! Your advice on polygons is gold.

Alex thanks for advice. What I learned year after year. You just summarized within few minute. I prefer your course to everyone before they get started with Vray and sketchup. 😊
Hi.Am just starting off with SketchUp and Vray and the first part of the checklist I will be implementing will be the Model Orientation followed closely by file optimization. Thanks alot for sharing. I will go ahead and enrol in SketchUp School.
Wow. Here is a school in a box!! Well done Alex your teaching is superb and exemplary like I'm in a classroom; if I had known I would have started learning on this before wasting loads of money without learning about rendering and visualisation soon but you make it seem so seamless; Keep the good work!!
Thank you for the amazingly kind words! It's never too late to go back and pick-up any of the fundamentals you've missed along the way. Hopefully our videos here on UA-cam as well as our Video Courses on our website will continue to be helpful for you!
Wow; its amazing!!! I have years trying to conquer Vray and now im starting again so this recomendations are so helpful!!!!!! I will definitly apply all of them but that one about poligons and realistic details according with the camera position blow my mind!!! a Great video and so enjoyable too... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!
WOW i love sketchup school. Audible the smooth explanation. I subscribed even before i finish watching the video. please keep it coming i love it. I am sure the public will agree with me👍👍👍👍
I've always found that its better to label by object rather than colour, say like with your cabinet, calling it 'Navy Cabinet' means that you have to sift through all the colours rather than objects, if you go 'Cabinet Navy' it means that you will find all the colours in that area a lot quicker.
Great point. To take it one step further: You should definitely come up with a system of naming conventions ahead of time that suit your particular project's needs. As you mention: It will save you a bunch of time later when you need to find/edit something.
i was about to get into interior collage, and i saw ur vids, its amazing, seems hard but might gonna keep watching ur vids to learn it faster than the other 😂
It is definitely one of the best and most useful channel on sketchup and vray I came across. Thank you very much for your work! PS. I will start with the first point - checking if the model is well oriented. ;)
Great app. I have a heavy background with Autocad and Microstation so for me the switch was easy, but anyone can learn this app in almost no time. There is no limit to what you can do, and if you have a good imagination, you should have no trouble at all learning this thing in about a day or so. OK, maybe two days.
Hi Bro, for enclosed room do i need to make sure the sun direction is correct before i move forward? because the room got no window no glass at all .....reallyu need u advised.
No, if there is no window and the room is enclosed, the sun direction doesn't matter because it won't shine into the room. You'll just need to add artificial lights to the inside of the room.
@@SketchUpSchool I need to illustrate a house from different angles for work, and as I started drawing it occured to me I could build it in SketchUp and then hopefully save some time! It's been a little while since I built anything in there so we'll see how it goes!
We are just about to release a new version of this video and will cover any updates from SketchUp 2021 and V-Ray 5. Be sure to subscribe to our channel and turn-on notifications so you are alerted when the new video is published... likely within the next couple of weeks.
@@SketchUpSchool already subscribed .. your videos are informative and professional .. waiting for your next video and please include the problems of the new release of sketchup and vray 5 .. as well how to fix them, thanks :)
I am a newbie in software use. But Somehow I want to learn both of these softwares as soon as possible . Please enlighten my path how to make it easier.
The fastest, most efficient way to learn SketchUp and V-Ray for SketchUp would be to take professional courses that walk through them step-by-step. One option for that would be to take a look at our Video Course Library, which starts with our Complete Intro to SketchUp course and includes a comprehensive set of courses covering V-Ray for SketchUp. You can learn more about our Video Course Library here: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library
great video , thanks... one important setting you did not mention is making sure all your model only shows front faces....allowing you to render single sided materials in rendering software...theoretically reducing render time by 50%... 6 things you need to know and this is probably number 1 on complex models
Can you elaborate on that a bit? Do you have an option in Vray for Sketchup for rendering only front faces? And what does "theoretically" mean here, have you tried it and does it really render faster? Thanks in advance.
@@zlataha I am not familiar with Vray but I would expect it has a setting to enable [single sided] rendering...ie front face only.. so if you are careful with your SU model and make sure only front faces are external,, ie no back faces visible,, you can take advantage of the rendering software option to render single sided... eg reducing the face count by 50%... the face count reduction may not be as large as that as other software factors may also reduce face count.. eg camera field of view or line of sight... here is a link to a 3DMax explanation of this knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-4EACDADD-2F96-4869-91EC-34983EBED732-htm.html

Hi, it's very long to find this guidance.... But I am still need more guidance in my drawing. I am still newbie to learn SU with VR. In my drawing, I had a box with 5 different materials and 3 position of light : front, left and right. In SU, I can extract these 5 materials. And after render with VR, I need the 5 faces after get VR lights. How can I extract these 5 faces ? Pls guide me. Thx in advance ...
Good job.i have a project file which has size of 35mb and when i start render with vray sketchup will crash and close all .. but when i try rendering the model which has file size 1.02gb its working. so what you suggest me to check in this problem.
There are many different factors that could be causing a crash. Your best bet would be to post the issue to the V-Ray for SketchUp forums to get help diagnosing the problem: forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/v-ray-for-sketchup-forums
@@SketchUpSchool I thought you have solution Vray or sketchUP support only licence user they don't give support for trail users. i am already tried that.anyway thanks for reply. continue teaching and learning that's appreciated .. .
My contractor is asking about rendering software. Simply, an example is a customer wants to add pocket lights outside but wants to see a rendering of different options. What is the most user friendly software to be able to take a picture of your project, import it and the add pocket lights to see how they look.
Unfortunately, there really isn't a software that gives you a super simple way to do that. You would have to use a 3D modeling software like SketchUp to import the picture and then manually draw a 3D model of the room based off the picture, then use a rendering software to add the realistic lighting (and switch between different options). So you can definitely use SketchUp to do what you want, but if you're new to SketchUp, it's not a quick thing to learn and accomplish. You would need to plan to invest the time into learning how to use SketchUp well, and then more time into how to create realistic renderings. (This would be true in other 3D and rendering software too).
@@SketchUpSchool Thanks for the input. I doubt he'll want to or be able to do that. It's really basic but I've managed an artistic mockup using MS Paint. Cheers. If you know of a better software that could be used the same way I'd be open to trying that.
