Cryengine eye candy.

nice...
-
For a bit of fun, I recreated one of these in SketchUp this morning. Came out pretty well.
-
Adsm s that just using lightup or in unity? im aware lightups lighting can be imported directly into unity and textures can also be baked, can you link us to a tutorial on how to do these, nice render btw
-
Very impressive Adam, love the materials. Is the depth of field an option in Lightup?

Its just modelled in SketchUp and rendered in LightUp.
Yes, you can export your lit model from LightUp using Autodesk FBX which will be automatically ingested into Unity.
Or you can export as Collada DAE.There is a very old video tutorials showing exporting to Unity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNI2RjNsRwY)
I'll see if I can cook up a new one using the latest version of LightUp and Unity. -

Yes, during Tourtool you can adjust the Depth of Field using the DOF slider. The focus point is taken in the direction the camera is pointing and marked by a small red circle on the surface that is being focused.
You can lock the current focus distance by clicking on the small padlock icon. You can then change your view direction but have a fixed focus distance.. So the workflow was to look at the floor tiles, lock focus distance and then look at the wall further away with the result that the floor is sharply in focus, the walls are blurred.

Very nice Adam... I ran both movies side by side and saw little difference that wasn't modeling.

Adam They look Great!
Does Lightup have the ability regarding textures to ..... mmm how to explain it (they'll be a word or phase for it) so in Koolaas the textures reflect a roughness so some parts reflect smooth and some rough. the corridor for instance in the movie shows thisheres another example of Unreal 4 - its german

Sure, its called a specular map and controls which parts of the texture reflect. LightUp creates one automatically for you from your base texture based on grayscale brightness. If you need (or have) something different, you can set a filename with an image. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22FSi1aT2bg (around 10m30s in).

wow

now especially since Unreal engine is now free, we should be seeing more arch viz from this platform.

That is just it, we are on a Sketchup forum discussing a new engine but there does not seem to be any support for skp files, so how will the workflow go?
I am very interested in using Unreal but I refuse to have to use a 3rd party software to bridge the two as it makes no sense to complicate my workflow.
So, the challenge goes out as to how SKP and Unreal can work together or if if can.

You could use the SDKs of both apps to make a direct pipeline between both.
There's probably one already out there.
I wonder how lightup fbx export would work? It is used a lot in Unity from what I understand.
