Yeah, Interesting, I see how it is being done in that video. Here is a good example of what I am after: Does anyone have a clue on how to achieve this using our editor? Tech has suggested making physical puddles on top of the asphalt which seems to me to be really time consuming and awkward. I want to add a generic material and make that white and highly reflective and transparent. In the Sketchup tutorial they use Blend Material for the water surface but in our editor we can only add from the drop down list into the Blend. I have watched several tutorials on this for Max and Sketchup but our editor is drastically different from theirs. Then it needs a layer on top of that which is the water and that needs to be highly reflective and have a bump map to raise it up off the surface a bit. The asphalt needs to have a bump map which is easy. What I am after is a single material in Vray that can mimic this accurately. This would add so much drama to my images if I could make it work. If you study great architectural photographs they often wet the streets down in front of the buildings.

It offers high-level capabilities for layer-based image editing and composition, as well as modifying lighting scenes after rendering.I have been beating my head against my keyboard all weekend trying to get a decent result for this. * The V-Ray Frame Buffer is the render image holder window. Once you have finished your framing, update the scene camera. You can choose between several options the rule of thirds is one of the most common approaches in photography, and it will help you here. If you import models from other DDC Apps, they can contain other colors and materials in our scene, so with Material Override we can focus solely on the lighting and shadows.Ĭlick on the teapot icon to start the interactive render (teapot icon) and, with the help of the Proportion Guides Layer in the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB*), refine your composition. This will switch off the default color in SketchUp, which is white and not convenient for rendering. This will produce a relatively low-resolution image, but we can increase it later to improve the detail.

Select an Aspect Ratio of 4:3, set the resolution to 800圆00, and enable Safe Frame to see the expected render output area in the viewport. Open the V-Ray Asset Editor > Settings > Render Output.
