I am using sketchup diffusion to build textures of buildings.
At first I am looking for sketches of fassades.
then I import it to Sketchup, define the colors in the promt and render it.
then I project the texture on my object and model the rest.
This is very fast and effective.
@HornOxx this is a special workflow, there is an app, called RenderDoc, which is able to download geometrie of Googlemaps to your Sketchupfile. The quailty is bad, but for objects in distance it is great. I just modelled the buildings in the foreground.
I think this picture explains the geometrie:
I modelled this for planned reconstruction of an area of a sportsclub. the space is going to be used for a german supermarket.

and an easter leasure time project:
I took an idea of midjourney of a nice villa and remodelled it.
started yesterday night to model, and rendered today in twinmotion, some development in AI and photoshop...
It takes time to get warm with softare but when it's done it lasts a very long time.
I started with Sketchup in 2007 for free and started to pay for it when it comes out the pro version, I became a pro too and I know how to use it and I have no problem to pay for it because it is an important tool for me. Same with twinmotion. It started free in 2019, I became a pro, and I pay for it since last year. Same thing in Photoshop, My first Version was Photoshop4 around 1994 as a free gift for my scanner. I got familiar with it and I am paying for it the last 20 years.
At rayscaper it is not there and I still don't know, if it will be my renderengine of the future. At the moment the problems of using it are bigger then my poor results of the renderings.
At the end of 2024 Twilghtrender will have an end.
In the last five years I became a big fan of Twinmotion, a real good renderengine with great results.
I was using it paralell with Twilghtrender. Twilghtrender is a good tool for easy Jobs inside Sketchup. I don't have to export, I can manage everything inside Sketchup and do a fast render.
What render engine is most similar to Twilghtrender?
Esay to use, cheap and usable inside Sketchup.
I am trying different things but didn't find the right one
-skechupdiffusion looks good but is not yet there, It does not what I want.
-Rayscaper is still in development, but I didn't get warm with it. Now it isn't free anymore to test, many things are not working right now. to early for me to change and pay mony
further development in stable diffusion
sketchupdiffusion
in the current render there is an ugly branding. So I can't use the result.
the panos have 8000x4000 resolution. they took about 10 Minutes in Twinmotion with path tracer
overlay in photoshop:
-sketchtup
-skectchupdiffusion
-rayscaper
nice result
@l i am said:
I find it interesting that the sketchup dufusion and stable diffusion gave a very similar treatment to both images. For instance the sky is almost identical as is the lighting. The only difference I can see is the material mapping and roughness. I wonder why this is?
The Sketchup Diffusion Output is the Stable diffusion input. That is the reason both look similar but stable diffusion img2img devellops it a bit further to a better result.
twinmotion + stablediffusion gives the perfect imperfections...
I love this combination
yes, but after an update ComyUI does not work anymore. I am more familiar with automatic1111
In the End: I get the best results with renderings. Here: Twinmotion

It's very cool to see the interplay of accurate rendering and stable diffusion. Are you already using this technique for client renders, or is it just experimentation?

not yet, but I am trying to get better results with combining different methods. But I am still not happy with it.
and another one sketchup to controlnet- stable diffusion
