Professional artists, hobbyist or anyone who creates 3D designs and wishes to turn their models into photorealism presentations, and/or to view their models in 3D stereo as if they were real, now have the opportunity to use Raylectron. “Raylectron does not need any editing by other graphic software (such as Photoshop) to produce photorealistic renders.” – just released by SoftByte Laboratory, Inc. It will change the 3D design into a realistic image.

This means I will be relying totally on Emissive materials to light up my scene.Raylectron v3 is an affordable, simple, fast and a powerful Sketchup render and animation plugin. Again, just like my part 1 tutorial in this series, the Camera and Physical Sky are turned off. I will be using this simple scene to show you how to access this material easily. Emissive material is normally used as self illuminating material for glow sticks, neon’s, bulbs and LED lights. But before that, let me reintroduce the basic function of it and how you can access this in V-Ray for SketchUp. In this 2 nd Part of my tutorial, I will try my best to share my knowledge and my experience in using Emissive material. is this the case though? Can I possibly produce quality rendering just by using Emissive lighting? When I first used V-Ray for SketchUp, I was not encouraged to use pure Emissive Material to light up my model. In other rendering engines, they call this a “self-illuminating material” or in V-Ray Max it is equivalent to V-Ray Light Material.

It also allows a plane, a face or an object applied with this material to turn into an actual light source. You will need a reasonable knowledge of SketchUp, rendering and the use of Photoshop for this tutorial.Įmissive Material is actually a special material layer of V-Ray for SketchUp used for producing self-illuminated surfaces. In this guide Nomer checks out Emissve materials to help light your SketchUp models.

Nomer continues his great collection of lighting tutorials to help you get to grips with and simplify this often complex process, with some easy solutions to this often frustrating and confusing aspect to rendering. Also for additional help V-Ray for SketchUp User Manual Version 1.48. This is part 2 of the definitive guide to lighting with V-Ray for SketchUp by Nomer Adona.
