Architectural Rendering using sketchup


Architectural rendering comes in a variety of methods and softwares use. Sketchup is a great way to produce architectural rendering. With its unique presentation and wide variety of styles, this is becoming the architect's choice! 

The sketchy style is still attractive to many although it has capabilities of producing high quality photo realistic rendering, yet there are options to do a different kind of presentation as if it is done by the very hand of the artist.

I find this complimentary to 3Dsmax instead of competition. Combining both capabilities, this will result in a more accurate and more refined rendering.

Using sketchup in the 3d modeling and establishing the scene, you can easily show the design right in front of your client, it is more interactive and user friendly.



What are the benefits of using Sketchup?

There are a lot of benefits you can get from using sketchup, here are some of the benefits;

  1. It is so flexible that you can choose any style
  2. It easy to use, you just need to practice and get familiar with creation tools which are literally translated from your manual sketching into digital form
  3. It creates a very low file size but not compromising the quality of rendering and presentation you need
  4. 3D scenes can be created at once and all views can be seen immediately
  5. The actual file from your computer is enough to show the initial design created
  6. Quick editing can be done easily
  7. It is compatible with vray plugin so you can produce a more photo realistic rendering
  8. shades and shadows can be turned on and off and you can create a different mood and scenarios depicting a particular time of the day
