This can of course result in having huge image textures for some objects, but you can still compensate with the other ones. Most importantly is the size of your texture images, that it is properly scaled to the real world. I often use “ Arroway Textures” or textures downloaded from “ SketchUp Texture Warehouse” web site.

You can find many web sites from which you can download nice texture images. If you apply textures properly to your objects and use realistic texture images, with special care to its size, you will be half way there to your desired result.

One of the most important parts of achieving realism in your visualizations is texturing.

Non-realistic models (not in scale, the way they are modeled or “bad” textures, etc.) will certainly not lead you to the result you are looking for.

If you cannot find it, try to model it by yourself, instead of having a “bad” one in you project. Give yourself time to look for “good” ones.

When using 3D models downloaded from the 3D Warehouse or any other similar website, try to use those that look realistic and correctly modeled.

Have your objects in proper scale according to each other as well as according to the real world. Clean unnecessary edges (lines), weld those that are in the same direction, have surfaces properly oriented (always facing a camera), etc.

Try to have your object geometry as clean as possible.

To achieve realism in your visualizations, you will have to take care about several other things, which are no more less important than proper setting of your rendering options. Therefore, if you set its parameters correctly you will get nothing else but nice lighting. Due to this, almost all its parameters are about setting different light calculation methods. It calculates how light travels through your scene and it bounces from different surfaces, in order to potentially get a realistic image. You have to understand that any rendering engine, including “V-Ray”, does nothing else but what is based on your parameters setup.

Many people ask me about “V-Ray” options (.visopt file), and how I set up the rendering parameters, expecting that if they do the same they will get a realistic image.

Before I explain my workflow, I just want to mention a few important points that I believe are crucial in achieving a good 3D render, and are far more important than just following a workflow explanation.

Some of them are free to download but if you’re needs are of a more professional nature (your professional work), I suggest you invest in buying quality texture images and even 3D models. For lighting techniques, I used HDRI images that you can also find on the Internet. I have also used several 3D models downloaded from the 3D Warehouse.

I am sure with a little patience you could find some more web sites, from where you can download “.vismat” files. I also using predefined materials (.vismat files) I often use these in my projects, downloaded from “ Chaos Group”, “ Visual Dynamics” and “ Flying Architecture” web sites. The rendering engine I used for the final visualization was V-Ray.

First, I want you to notice that this project have been created in SketchUp. This will include texturing, lighting and the rendering processes. As you all know, making such a project requires a certain amount of knowledge and experience in the CG industry, as well as in interior design, so I will cover only what I believe people commonly have most trouble with. In this tutorial, I will explain my workflow in a project I called “Interior Design of a Living Room”. Some working knowledge of SketchUp and V-Ray is needed to follow and understand this tutorial. This tutorial can only be described as the ‘How and Why’ of good rendering. There is a lot of good solid information here with many tips to suit all levels of experience. He has kindly offered to share this detailed workflow in the production of an interior living room design, in which he uses SketchUp for the model and V-Ray for the render.
