Visualizer for SketchUp
-
Reflections are in the pipeline?
-
There are reflections. Translucent materials have reflections. You can see them in the pool here. Much less visible in the windows.
It seems to me that it quickly stops getting better with baking, and the low resolution guarantees you can't use it more than just for a "fun" quick look at your model. If it stopped being blurry I might show it to clients (those not asking for an actual rendering but who want to see a model).
-
I meant like basic material editing; I doubt the render would know that this texture is wood floor, and should have a form of reflection.
-
Yes, I see. I wonder if it's ever going to be that sort of SW, or if. at this quality of image, it really matters. Exposure seems to be a problem too.

Definitely a cool toy. Reminds me of Maxwell Fire without lights or materials.

Our goal is to make realistic image creation instantly available to Sketchup users.
Actually there are 2 lights, the sun and the sky.
Also in the current version there are two materials.
One is a none shiny material.
The other is a shiny "glass" which the artist indicates by reducing opacity below 100.We have received many requests from customers for more features and the team is working hard to add them. The challenge is to keep it easy to use.
Hopefully we have succeeded in making the Visualizer interface so intuitive that you can be productive within minutes of installing the extension.
Thanks for the positive comparison considering Maxwell is over 40 times the purchase price.

Wondering if there are any tricks to lose the shadows.
When doing an interior render without a ceiling/roof i get the sun/sky shadows and with a ceiling it is pretty dark in there!cheers

I noticed too... I went to 12:00 noon sun over o,o,o located model.

Hi Bob and Krisidious,
Yes with the sun and sky currently being the only light sources, interiors can be pretty dark.
For now you can open Window/EntityInfo for an object or group and toggle off the "Cast Shadows" option.Will

I'll try that Willanie

Visualizer1.3 has an enhanced materials mode ... its the icon at the top of the window that looks like an arrow line reflecting. Enhanced material mode recognizes many of the built in Sketchup materials and assigns appropriate reflection settings. As always ease of use is the goal so its all auto magic settings but if you want to tweak things take a look at this link for a brief but concise description.
https://getvisualizer.com/blog/enhanced-materials.htmlAttaching an example image render with enhanced mode on.
When enhanced mode is on the glossy reflections will sometimes propagate bright speckles also called fireflies. For this you can use the de-noising modes to filter them out. The de-speckle icon looks like random dots and is next to the enhanced mode icon.
As was mentioned in another post Visualizer1.3 is the last version of this renderer and is now free.
