This will be particularly useful for some users who would prefer to focus on the design of their building or environment rather than on complex material settings.

The material library has been extended to give you access to over 500 ready-to-go materials. The layered material is perfect for creating materials that have a coat or sheen including metals, woods and fabrics. They’ve given users a new layered V-Ray material as well as an improved material library. We can’t cover all the features but I’d like to draw your attention to materials in this release. You can send progress visuals quickly and easily, avoiding time consuming and unnecessary hold ups at the end of the project as you try to figure out exactly what the client wants in terms of look and feel. It also streamlines the process of keeping clients updated and in the loop. This will be particularly good news for anyone who designs their work in SketchUp including architects and product designers. That’s impressive.Ī project becomes something of a continual crafting of the final output rather than building something, only to then add the materials and lighting hoping it’ll all come together visualization becomes the centerpiece of the project from beginning to end, rather than just something you do at the end. It’s a game changer for SketchUp users and it not only reduces that gap between design and final visualization but completely eliminates it. The VP of product management at Chaos Group, Phillip Miller, says “V-Ray Vision is going to transform how designers work in SketchUp, bringing an always-on real-time view of every project”. The major selling point for this release is called V-Ray Vision.
