Here's a link to some tutorials to get you started:

thank you.. but the thing i dont understand is all the rendering setttings tr1 2 and options.. its very different from vray the approach and all.. i understand its material system but the rendering options/camera etc etc

10 minutes gpu cpu, used radial blur 15% to get hazy look. BSD 25 tracing depth.
No post processing.Thea 1.3 is amazingly fast, this is an interior, and they are normally slow to render, exteriors render in seconds to a couple of minutes.

This is very great Pete... my problem is that i just dont know how to use thea.. i have downloaded the trial version but its like alien thing for me.. am using vray for sketchup.. but really wanted to try thea.. and tutorials/pdf mini tutorials are missing.. i wish they make a good tutorial for noobs like me that dont understand ABC of rendering 
i think personal spaces depends on country to country and culture to culture.. i am from pakistan and here we have very open spaces attached bath to every bedroom even in apartments we had attach bath with every bed even servant room. which i think think is luxury in country like germany/UK etc.
the left part of house is 8' wide inside wall to wall and the right one is 10'..
thats my assumption i guessed from furniture layout
@srx said:
Is it a joke, or there is a reason for making the house this tight?
Japanese house are most of the time this tight.... but one wont feel it tight because of the use of double heights/windows and open spaces across the house... and if you search for more you ll find more tight then this one

I just loved this house and wanted to make it 3D for fun and practice.
here are original snaps and plan.

Make your form without hole and with a little tchickness wanted
Then insert little cylinder any where you want with diameter wanted
Then Intersect them with the form if you have no Pro version
else boolean Diff operation
i have pro version and what is bolean diff operation? and thank you so so much. never thought of this actualyy
Hello all. can any body help me that how can i achieve this shape. i have tried it and made it by extrude edges by lattice and also made the face by extrude edges by face and applied lattice maker.. but it wont help me. i am attaching the two image.. the one i made with EEBL it is like horizontal grid and i want a diagonal grid and the inner shape can be anything square circle, triangle like in EEBL ( circles would be great )...
following are the attached images..
one is 3d that i made and the other is sketch thats how i wanted the form please help me.
If you can see the shape i made had both diagonal and horizontal lines but i want the diagonal line on both side and not like this.
the inner hollow shapes can be squares/parallelograms but i want them in diagonal and the lattice maker/extrude edges by lattice will make it straight.
I have another query is there anyway i can make diagonal line and lattice.. reference image is attached?
@dave r said:
With the number of segments you've used for the circle at the base of your model, each segment is only about 3/8" long. TIG is correct that you'll need to scale the model up dramatically to avoid the tiny faces.
oh yes i think i got it now thanks a lot a lot
the arc radius is 8' and the height is 56', and i am using extrude edges by lattice, and then i make the face with extrude edge by face and applied the lattice maker but still wont happen let me show u with hidden geometry. am attaching 2 images .. one is zoomed and the other is full view but i think you are right it might be due to the size...
in the previous post i have attached the SU file can u h ave a look please.
Hello i am trying to use Extrude edges by lattice but its not working, my sketchup hangs and i left it for 3 hours but ot working. i make the shape with other tool and run lattice maker it still wont work... i am attaching an image of sketch and also the 3D model please sit have a look and give me some feed back.. the model is that i want to make one half and then copy and rotate and make it a circle..
here are image and 3D model
and i am using many plugins but they were working fine with it and suddenly this happen.
and besides i installed sketchup 2013 with no plugin in it but still sketchup crashes whenever i tried to import vismat material.
Hello i have this problem whenever i try to import vismat material my sketchup crashes i was using SU 8 and till yesterday it was fine but today its doing this. i download and install su 2013 make but it still happen and crashes please if anybody can help me out.
i am using vzray 2 for sketchup. but i used it yesterday and it was working fine till this happen.. and following is the attached file of bug report.
following are my bug reports

If you are using 1.6 beta - use the dome light to use an HDRI to light your scene. If you just want the HDRI as your background, go to options and under Environment. place the HDRI in the BG slot.
In your Output under options, make sure to click Get view aspect so Vray will match SU.
that i know.. but the Background is not placed according to the model.. its like my model will be on some wall, on some window or on some top, or hanging in air.
Hello.. I am new to vray For sketchup Exterior Renders.. I am Using vray 1.6 Beta version..
Q.1 How can i use HDRI for Background in vray? i have seen many tutorials for Hdri but haven't seen how to adjust the HDRI for background... like if am using an Urban HDRI and want my model to render in the center or an empty spot.. but it wont work.. i do rotate HDRI but my model will be on some roof, some wall etc.. so please Help me with HDRI BACKGROUND...
Q.2.. My Second Question is About how to render multistory apartment/offices Building.. I tried to render but it is very bad.. and if i used SU camera zoomed to model and render in Vray it will be away... So please Help me about it... i am attaching a sample image of my building i am trying to render...
@andybot said:
um, silly question, but are you trying to render a line in vray? If you are, you need to give it a face. Vray doesn't render lines, no matter what material you give it.
You could also share your test file and maybe the answer is in there.
lol no i wasn't trying to render a line thats why i was using toon material 
I dont know what was problem but i restart my pc and make a new file and it work like a charm..
