Beginner Tips

Post by Fcerquinho » Fri Aug 21, 2020 10:09 am

Hi
I started to work with Twilight Render for Sketchup (free version) and I would like to have some help:
I mostly do interior bathrooms (small ones, 4 m2 to 6 m2). Which best environment should I choose?The backgound are always outside backgrounds. There are any specific environment for interiors?
How can I enlarge the scene view? Meaning, how can zoom it so that it looks bigger? Attached a render file (please comment)

For interior renderings, fastest rendering is to set sky to "Background Color" and make the color white or black and only use interior lighting.

If you want the sky to appear like natural daylight outside, you can put an image outside your window, and set it to light emitting material low voltage and FAKE Emit, or shine a light onto the surface of the background picture.

Setting the correct exposure for your image in the post process button on the Render Dialog is critical.

Start with any surface that you want to be white as 70%. Any surface as black as 10%. keep all colors between those color ranges. Never darker or brighter.

Please follow the 6 essentials video tutorial series linked in my signature.
See also the video tutorial about lighting a bathroom, it may be particularly helpful. It shows how to use sky portal with your bathroom.

There is a lot to learn. Remember it's a journey, keep it simple, keep it fun. ;)
