I may hold off for a while to learn sketchup....and hopefully they release a compatible 2016 plugin in the near future. Why wait? As you can see, even the output straight from SketchUp looks pretty cool. This thread has some suggestions for other free renderers. http://forums.sketchup.com/t/best-quality-renderer-that-wont-bankrupt-me/18051/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what I was getting at was that I want to be proficient enough in building out structures in SketchUp so that when the time comes to render, they'll look presentable.

XenonDesigns Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Do you think you can show how you do exterior textures? Like the building you did here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thazer Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 do.....as in apply them or find them? the textures are based on the discovery museum in newcastle. linky ---> boop theres i think 4 textures total on the bldg. the turret, the huge arch window, the 3 story windows, and the roof tiles. the turret roof is just green tinted concrete. applying textures seem straight forward, unless there's particular problems you're having?

I just have trouble finding them and then making them look right on the object in sketchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
