Use the drape tool to drape the grid on to the curtain.Use the sandbox to create an grid below the curtain.Delete al the unnecessary edges you that you only see the curtain itself.Use the Push pull to extrude one of the segments you have just made by dividing the rectangular via the Bezier curbs.Use the bezier curbs to create the flow of the curtain (I used a curve made out of a 100 segments).That is what is so great about SketchUP – there are many quality free tools you can add to it and use in your workflow with a large supporting community at your side too. Actually, everything that I modeled in SketchUP is created with the help of some plugin that adds more tools to create organic and realistic models. The cushions ware created with a plugin for SketchUP called subdivide and smooth.

The furniture I modeled myself or downloaded from the net, for example the carpet on the floor, that was from the Warehouse, thats a good place to find stuff, its a pity that some people use it to dump their designs on that are not build properly so I always search on most downloaded or best rated.

For the floor surface I used a concrete texture with a soft reflection so it gives you a contrast to the rest of the room. Eventually It came to me that I want to keep the colors basic but with a nice contrast. I did not had any idea about what materials I would like to use. I started to work with only my sketches and my imagination at my side. Since my background is architecture, and I tend to run concepts in my head for a long time and gather sketches about them, I just had to implement this specific one about an open living space where you can have the most common and general functions one will daily do. I wanted to know how far I could go and how realistic I could make things look. I designed this scene as a case study for the combined use of SketchUP, VRay and Photoshop. I was really glad to have won the prize because I was just starting out my own company in Holland, at age 19 at that time, and got great exposure after the win. The following render won the first VRay for SketchUP render competition. I’m sure Dirk will answer it all 🙂 Introduction He is a major contributor to the V-Ray Forums, and a huge part of the SketchUp community.įeel free to comment about any aspect of this article or things you think need more detailed explanation. Youve probably seen his V-Ray for SketchUp renders in the V-Ray Forum, ASGVIS website, newsletters, and other ASGVIS marketing materials. Dirk is the founder of DWanimations, a visualization studio creating images for the real-estate market and also providing training about SketchUP for architects and architectural firms to better their workflow.
