sketchup and rendering

[Gary Ledgerwood]

I love Kerkythea as a free option. I am able to produce reasonably nice images given the limitations. Certainly nothing like quality I see on this forum, but hey, I cant afford max. Here is an example. Modeling and texturing in Sketchup. Rendering in Kerky.

V-Ray definitely has the best render quality, but has more rendering time. So decide it wisely,,, i render this scene with v-ray

Kerkythea is great. Twilight is a new one and works inside Sketchup, so no need to export.

Hi Guys,

I am Amir from Holland,

I usualy work with sketch up and rendering in Kerky thea, its perfect!

 

i just have one question, I hope there is someone who can help me:

 

i must import a 3DS file in to sketch up. everythings works fine except

the fact that i dont get surfaces, and its a very complicated art work and its not an option for me to draw it in sketch up.

 

is there someone who can help me?

Please!

1. Twilight render is simple and fun + kerkythea export options and you can

use kerkythea materials.

2. Kerkythea is way to go coz. is very good and free + nice tutorials

3. Vray one of the best I know ( ies files in new version wuhuuuuu)

4. Maxwell is very good to, but it takes a lot of time to render (I cant get

noise free results, but that is me )

Hi Amir,

 

try to import in some other format and maybe that will solve your problem or maybe is just layer problem so explode and put everthing on same layer befor importing.

try maxwell for realistic result.

still loving fryrender, but now in combination with Arion...stuff some nice geforce GTX570 cards in your system and rendering in Arion is faster than anything else...
