Thea Rendering - what am I doing wrong?

I have SketchUp Pro. I’m ready to go to the next level of rendering to more realistic images. I’ve tried a few different software systems and gave up after hours of trying to navigate them. Then I gave Thea a try yesterday and spent about 6 hours struggling to figure it out. But my images are grainy, blurry. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Can one of you help? Should I try a different software program?

I’m working from a very simple SketchUp image to practice. And every rendering turns out terrible. Here is the sketch up iimage with 3 different attempts to render.

Hi, above all I am completely beginner and I would be grateful for your advice.
Can you recommend an extension similar to roadkill or wrapR but which works on macOS? I can’t find something like that, but maybe someone can help :slight_smile:

Hello all,

I am new here, and came to seek desperate help.

Ive been trying to render an iterior scene but it takes forever.
I am working on win 10 64-bit, I7 procecor latest model, 16 gb ram and nvidia rtx 2060 6 gb.
the scene has sun light and 3 more light sources, no hdri image as background, and most materials are default sketchup except 2 wood textures I prepared.
I tried rendering in low and medium quaility + denoiser, tried custom settings and tried iraddience map + light cache and brute force + light cache.

I’v been trying for a week now! render time in multiple attempts was at 20-30% after 24 hours of render…

I’ll be greatfull for any help,

thank you!

I have SketchUp and the tool is working for me. But i have a friend (doesn’t have access to this forum so I’m asking instead of her) and the tool doesnt work at all. Is there any possible way to troubleshoot this? We tried reinstalling the extension and nothing changed. Here is a picture of her extension manager window.

Thank you very much for the replies.

What can I do to make this render better?

Hi everyone,

First, I hope you are all well! Crazy times…

I was wondering if any of you can help me make this render better, this is my first try with Sketchup 2019 and Vray next. The wall are blotchy, there is still a little noise and the reason the photo is such low quality is because it is a screenshot. I will attach what happens after I save the photo when I finish rendering.

Thanks in advance.

Skalp & Profile Builder 3 interactions problem

Hi Guy

@Guy We have been using Skalp for years, & generally have a good system going. Just started using Profile Builder 3 plugin at the same time.

I find if I make a hole in an object & the section is through that hole, then the skalp fill does not show.

I thought this may be 2019 Skalp & Sketchup 2019 and Profile Builder 3 hole tool, there may be an incompatibility, but i find it is with solids made with basic tools also.

I have turned off any plugins not rated for SK2019. I have also tested backwards skalp 2017 on SK2017, & this issue does not happen.

Is this a known issue? Does anybody have any workarounds or way it can be fixed?

Love the tool, but this is some issue, if it is not my usage, which it would seem not to be ! :wink:

Hello,

I am very new to SketchUp and VRay.

I am trying to create a single 360 degree Panorama that i can load into 3DVista as a Virtual Tour.

I found a free model on TurboSquid (https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/1523709)

I’ve made a few adjustments to the room like book covers etc.

When i export/render the panorama i get quite a few errors…

  1. Light is leaking through the door
  2. My poster is not appearing in the picture frame
  3. My background image is not appearing.
  4. My Computer screen is transparent
  5. There is a TON of noise
  6. My black plastic elements (Phone, computer chassis, Screen Chair etc) is all pink?

Is there anyone that can assist me with some render settings or tips?

Here is my render:

I would love to be able to create a single 360 degree panorama at 3000x6000 pixels at a similar render quality to the version uploaded as a preview to TurboSquid (Image Attached)

Thank you very much

Oliver K.

Using reshade to get some AO

hi there together,

i am currently trying to run the “reshade” post processing fx library on sketchup…

the idea is, to use it to get some nice ambient occlusion effects (MXAO) or softshadows or anything like it into the sketchup viewport - that would be sooo ■■■■ cool :upside_down_face:

unfortunately i cant get it to run or at least i cant open the options via the home key…

i have a thread open at the reshade.me forum… as of now i have no feedback :slight_smile: looks like thte geeks and nerds are more into gaming and less into sketchup hehe…

anyway, if some of you also find the idea of using https://reshade.me/ for sketchup intriguing im happy to welcome you :slight_smile:

best, franz

Fredo6 plugins - LEGACY versions prior SU2016

For users of Sketchup versions PRIOR to SU2016

Due to a change of in the Trimble framework for releasing extensions, I am no longer able to create new versions of my plugins for SketchUp versions prior to SU2016.

FROM NOW ON, all my plugins will ONLY be maintained for SU2016 and above.

For convenience, I have archived the latest versions of my plugins in the Sketchucation ExtensionStore. They are all prefixed with Prior2016 keyword.

These legacy versions are

  • compatible with SU versions up to SU2015 included
  • NOT compatible with SU2016 and later version
    I have also disabled the Check Plugins for Update functionality in these legacy versions.

Here are the link to legacy versions released so far in the ExtensionStore.

Lights not emitting any light even at full intensity?

Hello everyone, I am very new to 3D rendering but I have a question about lighting in V-Ray. I manage to create a light (in my case rectangular but I tried with any type) however the light itself does not emit any lighting to the interior. When I change the intensity only the intensity of the Rectangular lightbox changes without any light emitting to the scene again. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I’ve started following some SubD videos and when I select live mesh analysis I get the color variations as expected but they won’t turn off. The button appears to be one that highlights on and off and I can see it change. However, both objects in the file remain green. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Toolbar editor - Unable to add icon for ruby code

[Extension] MrHide (the lost toolbar) - Show/Hide visual elements

@Fredo6 wrote:

MrHide is a Toolbar providing direct access to functions which have no dedicated icons in Sketchup or are embedded deeply in the UI.

MrHide - Toolbar

MrHide is published at Sketchucation

In the first version, the functions are related to showing / hiding visual elements in SketchUp, most of them being style and scene parameters

  • hidden geometry and hidden objects
  • axes, dimensions, guides, text labels
  • shadow, sun shading, fog
  • Edit Component: show other instances and show rest of the model

Based on an original idea by JClements, who also designed all the icons.

Here is a short video illustrating the features

Render with vray memory error

Hi team,

I am using Sketchup Pro 2020 with vray 4.20. My computer is a Lenovo P53, intel i7, 32GB RAM and a nvidia Quadro T2000 with 4GB RAM.

When I render 4K resolution images I got this kind of errors:

Using 11 threads for CPU, 6 threads per GPU device

Num samples per thread reduced to 32768, rendering might be slower

D:\cgrepo\vraysdk\samples\vray_plugins\rt_private\rt_opencl_pri(3623) : CUDA error 2 : unable to allocate enough memory to perform the requested operation (out-of-mem)

This error appears when I render using CUDA. The result has lot of noise. When I use CPU I got no errors and the image is really clear. Is it possible to use system RAM memory when using CUDA render engine? Another weird think is that I have no D drive, I only have C drive in my laptop.

If I downgrade image resolution, I got no errors using CUDA and the image is clear.

Is there any setting that must be changed?

Thanks
