V-Ray for SketchUp Rendering - 2 Day Advanced Training Course
Build on your existing SketchUp modelling skills to get the most out of SketchUp & V-Ray for amazing realistic renders with this bespoke course. The advanced content is tailored to your requirements and covers tips and tricks for model preparation and rendering techniques.
SketchUp is one of the most easy to learn and widely used 3D Modelling software products on the available today and now with V-Ray for SketchUp users have one of the most powerful rendering tools available to visualise their models with the upmost quality and realism. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflows.
This course is designed for experienced SketchUp users who are looking to improve on their current SketchUp skills by adding the powerful rendering tools V-Ray brings to SketchUp for improved visualisation of 3D models. The course provided will be fully tailored based on your current skill levels in terms of both SketchUp and V-Ray and adapted accordingly. The course will also be adjusted based on your modelling requirements and preferences for rendering and quality of final output.
The following is a general outline. The range of topics covered during your training is dependent upon student level, time available and preferences of your course booking.
