This tutorial demonstrates how to achieve realistic interior rendering using 3D SketchUp and V-Ray for SketchUp. It covers setting up and optimizing V-Ray render settings for interior scenes in 3Ds Max, including the use of V-ray two-sided material to improve interior lighting and add realistic details. V-Ray for SketchUp offers various lights essential for a good render, which can be found in the V-Ray toolbar or in the Asset Editor.

V-Ray Product Specialist Ricardo Ortiz uses an interior scene to demonstrate how these powerful new additions can accelerate creative processes and add extra details. To create a clean hidden line render, one can drop the resolution with VRAYTOON and then combine the render with a sketchup monochrome line output placed on top in Photoshop using a “multiply” layer mode.

To show mortise/tenon as hidden dashed lines, one must change their ridge and rafter tags to dashed.

Line and shadow backgrounds with the hidden line above work pretty well to give a classic shadowed elevation look.

In summary, this tutorial provides tips and tricks for creating realistic interior rendering using 3D SketchUp and V-Ray for SketchUp. By following these steps, users can achieve realistic interior rendering and scale up their architectural visuals.
