3. When using 3D models downloaded from the 3D Warehouse or any other similar website, try to use those that look realistic and correctly modeled. Give yourself time to look for “good” ones. If you cannot find it, try to model it by yourself, instead of having a “bad” one in you project. 2. Try to have your object geometry as clean as possible. Clean unnecessary edges (lines), weld those that are in the same direction, have surfaces properly oriented (always facing a camera), etc. Have your objects in proper scale according to each other as well as according to the real world. 1. Many people ask me about “VRay” options (.visopt file), and how I set up the rendering parameters, expecting that if they do the same they will get a realistic image. You have to understand that any rendering engine, including “VRay”, does nothing else but what is based on your parameters setup. It calculates how light travels through your scene and it bounces from different surfaces, in order to potentially get a realistic image. Due to this, almost all its parameters are about setting different light calculation methods. Therefore, if you set its parameters correctly you will get nothing else but nice lighting. To achieve realism in your visualizations, you will have to take care about several other things, which are no more less important than proper setting of your rendering options. ![]() In this tutorial, I will explain my workflow in a project I called “Interior Design of a Living Room”. As you all know, making such a project requires a certain amount of knowledge and experience in the CG industry, as well as in interior design, so I will cover only what I believe people commonly have most trouble with. This will include texturing, lighting and the rendering processes. First, I want you to notice that this project have been created in SketchUp. The rendering engine I used for the final visualization was VRay. I also using predefined materials (.vismat files); I often use these in my projects, downloaded from “Chaos Group”, “Visual Dynamics” and “Flying Architecture” web sites. I am sure with a little patience you could find some more web sites, from where you can download “.vismat” files. I have also used several 3D models downloaded from the 3D Warehouse. The others I just modeled by myself. For lighting techniques, I used HDRI images that you can also find on the Internet. Some of them are free to download but if you’re needs are of a more professional nature (your professional work), I suggest you invest in buying quality texture images and even 3D models. Before I explain my workflow, I just want to mention a few important points that I believe are crucial in achieving a good 3D render, and are far more important than just following a workflow explanation. andvray/interiordesignofalivingroomsketchupandvray/ Mario Goleš is a very talented interior designer and 3D architectural visualizer, currently working and based in Zagreb, Croatia. He has kindly offered to share this detailed workflow in the production of an interior living room design, in which he uses SketchUp for the model and VRay for the render. There is a lot of good solid information here with many tips to suit all levels of experience. This tutorial can only be described as the ‘How and Why’ of good rendering. Some working knowledge of SketchUp and VRay is needed to follow and understand this tutorial. ![]() ![]() Interior Design of a Living Room – SketchUp and VRay Home About Spotlight Software & Plugins SketchUpArtists 3D Modelers 3D Artists Authors and Books Business Presentations Techniques Design Tips & Tricks Tutorials SketchUp and Blender SketchUp and VRay SketchUp and Kerkythea SketchUp and Photoshop SketchUp and Podium SketchUp and Traditional/Tradigital Drawing SketchUp and Shaderlight SketchUp and Match Photo SketchUp and Piranesi SketchUp and Artlantis SketchUp and Advanced Modeling SketchUp and Matte Painting SketchUp and Maxwell SketchUp and Twilight Render SketchUp and Thea Render SketchUp and LightUp Raylectron for SketchUp SketchUp Modeling SketchUp Styles SketchUp and Visualizer SketchUp and 3ds Max Styles Downloads Resources Interior Design of a Living Room – SketchUp and VRay :: SketchUp 3D Rendering Tutorials by SketchUpArtists
