It can do basic things fairly well, but not much of any complexity. Serious professional visualisers will always want to use a more capable modeller than SketchUp, and for animation, no-one should seriously consider SketchUp as a tool for professional high quality output. but actually he knows rendering 3D in very basic level which is enough for him to help with coding) I use Kray 9 years and there/here is nobody who knows this Engine better (except G. My personal opinion about K2.x: still a lot potential which are not discovered. In my opinion first option is for amateurs (no offence, please!), first step in 3D rendering, students, etc.Īnd in the last, the most important: Sketchup+Podium will never achieve quality level of LW+Kray.is just impossible - software limits.even with new Core K3. Lightwave with whole his own system can handle really huge scenes Modelere+LWCAD (this is really BIG PLUS) easy animation system and very flexible (let`s say honestly: many movies are done by Lightwave) full options in Kray menu + commands line (still K2.x) kind of big base of models ready to use (This one should be for minus because they are very poor: wire and textures) some details which make easier to use Render Engine (limited options menu, presets) very basic software (Google SketchUp + Podium.even children can use this) There are several Podium Material cubes in the Free library and and a growing number of hundreds in the Paid section.Brownie wrote:I've just watched the SU podium Internet pages and I'm back here with a simple question : what's the main difference between KRay and Podium, and why should I stay sticked to LW+Kray instead of jumping in something that seems to be quite easier to manage ? Also, you can use SketchUp’s eye dropper to quickly paint Podium materials to other faces. Use the Paint bucket to paint SketchUp faces with the selected material. To use the Podium materials on other faces, go to SketchUp’s Material dialog located in the Windows menu.įrom the SketchUp Material dialog, click on the In Model icon and then select a Podium material. You can use the particular Podium material on other faces in your model. When selected, a cube with a Podium material is inserted into SketchUp. The Podium Materials components are “clicked and dropped” into SketchUp like the light fixtures, furnishings and plants. These materials can be applied to any face within your SketchUp model to make the setup of your rendering environment very fast. “Render ready” materials means that the materials have pre-defined reflection, blurs, refractions, bump maps and other Podium properties. The Podium Materials category has cubes with Podium “render ready” materials on each of the cube’s faces. However the Podium Materials work the same way in the current version. This video is based on Podium Browser 1 which is an older interface. This simple video tutorial will show how the material cubes work and how easy it is to get high quality render ready materials into your model. Materials can then be transferred to your model using the SketchUp eyedropper and paint bucket tool. Podium Materials are imported into SketchUp painted on cube shaped components. The Podium Browser material section now has hundreds of Podium Materials that are material files with Podium render-ready properties on them. Click above to watch the embedded YouTube video.
