It does this by searching for nearby geometry that could occlude the ambient lighting in your scene, so it is normal to give some cut-off beyond which the software wont search. We do this by opening the LightUp preferences and changing the drop-down menu for Combine with AO to Screen.ĪO works by calculating how much non-directional local shadowing there is. This is because weve accepted the default LightUp lighting resolution which is very conservative, so we can improve that by editing the Resolution and changing it to a absolute distance.īecause we can set lighting (and therefore shadow) Resolution as an absolute distance, its sometimes useful to use the SketchUp TapeMeasure to measure a feature in your model to help choose an appropriate Resolution. The room is dark apart from a little sunlight getting through the slattered windows.įirst thing you will notice is the sun shadows are very indistinct. You can see Use Sun is checked which means LightUp will be using the sun position as defined by SketchUp.īecause we have not specified a skybox hdr file, LightUp will create one for us based on the time day and time of year.
This particular model was used on a Italian 3ds MaxV-Ray site and is called the Tatami Room.Īfter downloading it, open up the file in SketchUp and open the LightUp preferences dialog. LightUp for SketchUp is a SketchUp plugin that adds realistic, realtime lighting to your SketchUp models. This is the output directly from the realtime engine wihout any tonemapping applied which we will do in the last section. The sketchup users can also make a walkthrough of their model. The sketchup users can put elegant reflected light, area lights, point lights, sunlight as well as soft shadows, subtle heading etc.
