V-Ray is a very popular and high-quality third-party renderer for SketchUp. With V-Ray, you can add naturalistic lighting, cameras, reflections, and diffuse materials to your SketchUp models and scenes. This course will use a single arch viz scene (an architectural visualization with interior and exterior elements) to demonstrate all of these options. Author Brian Bradley covers all of the V-Ray light types (from Sun and Sky to Sphere), irradiance mapping, physical cameras, materials, and V-Ray quality controls. By the end of the course, you'll know how to use V-Ray features to make your SketchUp models look their very best.

Topics include:

* Locating V-Ray tools and features

* Using the RT Engine

* Creating daylight with V-Ray Sun and Sky

* Using image-based lighting

* Working with irradiance mapping

* Handling perspective correction in the physical camera

* Setting up a depth of field effect

* Creating and applying V-Ray materials

* Using fixed-rate sampling

* Color mapping

* Working with V-Ray proxies
