I have actually a question about the small dots or points on my glas
is that because of too much light or not enough light ?
I tried different things and Im still not sure what might cause that light noise in my model.

hi kate
thanks for your replay these background images are awesome.
I will try them out in my next project.
Im working on a masterbedroom for a friend right now. She wanted me to design it for her
and Im happy with shaderlight it gives my designs a very nice realstic look.
I would like to show you some pf my work and also ask for some advice how to get more out of my light and shadow effects. I played around tried different things. but I have the feeling Im still doing something wrong.

here are some examples of my masterbedroom

hi notareal,
thanks for all the information it was very helpful.
I just bought a license for shaderlight cuz I find it easy and its all I need so far to get
the results I was looking for. in the future I will try out Thea render it seems very interesting and powerful to me.
I will also try LuxRender and see how that works.
what I really like about shaderlight is that it has limited options which makes it automaticaly very simple to use. If I will keep working with it I will for sure get more out of it.

I was wondering does anyone know a good website where I can get nice background pictures of any kind of landscape etc. ?

Hi notareal,
I didnt know it would be that complicated to create videos within kerkythea
are there some other rendering programms that could for example even render a whole SU animation ?
I looked up some results and the videos look great. if there wont be any other solution for me I will try to learn everything about kerkythea.

I tried shaderlight so far and I like that I can make my texture changes and everything within sketchup. is twilight similar to that ?
I was on the twilight website and I realized there is no Mac version of twilight ?

hey Rich
I followed your advice and got the trial for ShaderLight
so far it seems really good and easy to use for me.. I created some nice looking pics of one of my designed models. but Im not sure if that is good enough. maybe I do something wrong or maybe its just the limited options I have in the trial version. but I cant do much with light and backgrounds.
I guess I will be able to do more as soon as I purchased the full version.
here are some examples what I tried so far.

Hi mandar
I never used a render programm before so Im pretty new to that stuff.I was thinking about to get V-ray and now Im not sure if I should or not.
is it actually good to use and is it also possible to create animations with it ?

Dave Fust

I got a new question
I heard from some people about v-ray rendering
is that a good plugin/programm or would you guys recommend it ?

regards

Thanks for your replay
I looked up Kerkythea and it seems really nice to me. I will try that first and see if I will need something more powerfull. I got a couple questions for Kerkythea tho.
is it possible to create animations with it like small videos etc. ? How long does it usually take to render a project ?
is it possible to share files here in that forum for example a sketch up file ?

Hi Guys Im Dave and new here in SketchUcation
Im not sure if u guys introduced yourself before starting posting here etc. but I will do it quick
Im 18 and originally from Germany and moved to canada about 2 and a half years ago please excuse my language Im still learning
My goal is to find here the perfect programm that Im looking for to make my sketch up projects look more realistic and nice.
I would be glad if someone would give me some tipps or introduce me some programms that are not too expensive even free would be fine

Thank you in anticipation
Dave
