How to do an architectural model?

[darkoivic]

Hi guys,

I have a task to do a simple model in sketchup with vray, that has to look like a physical architectural cardboard or styrofoam model, kinda we do in architectural schools....here are some examples!

can you please give some tips for materials and ligthing?

I want my shadows to be soft, and for the styrofoam material I don't want use simple white, because it looks too dead when I render, so I suppose I should add a bit reflections but I am not quite sure how to get that styrofoam effect

 

 

thanx
