When sun light is on, you can use Podium's Physical Sky to create a realistic sky background with atmospheric qualities such as turbidity and realistic tonemapping. The sun's brightness, exposure, and shadow direction can be controlled by changing SketchUp's date and time of day in the shadows dialog. Sun Light - Sun light is a directional light source that uses SketchUp's sky and shadow settings (SketchUp shadows must be turned on). Sky Light: - Sky light is an ambient light source applied evenly to the entire SketchUp background.

These are both 'exterior' lights but will have a lot of effect on interior renderings if you are using windows and openings to the exterior. Lighting up exteriors and interiors: SU Podium V2.5 has two types of natural lights. Using this option can save you a lot of time in applying good reflection, blur, refraction or bump properties to materials if you are using SketchUp standard materials.Ĭlick here to watch an introduction video on Podium Material properties. Podium Browser Materials: Podium library of higher resolution textures and hundreds of pre-made render ready Podium materials in the Podium Browser.Īutomatic Materials: When Automatic Materials is on, SU Podium understand that certain SketchUp standard materials will be assigned pre-defined Podium photo-realistic material properties. You can use standard SketchUp materials as well higher resolution textures from a variety of libraries as well as Podium Browser content. When rendered these properties bring the model to life by reflecting light and the environment. Reflections, refractions, bump maps and other advanced properties can be applied to a specific SketchUp material. SU Podium can turn these plain textures into realistic materials quickly and intuitively via the Podium material user interface. Realistic Materials: An essential part of creating SketchUp models is applying textures to faces.

Earlier SketchUp version users will need to install SU Podium V2.5, which is backward compatible to SketchUp 2014.

Podium is not a hybrid render-engine for a GPU based solution, we offer ProWalker GPU powered by NVIDIA Iray.Ĭross-platform accessibility: SU Podium V2.6 supports Windows or Mac operating systems, with support for SketchUp 2017, 2018, 20. Multi-Threading: SU Podium uses multi-threading to take advantage of all your CPU cores and threads. Although the user does not have to be aware of what technology is being used, it's important to note that you can obtain high quality images with realistic reflection and lighting, quickly. Raytracing and Global Illumination: SU Podium uses a photon mapping algorithm that provides accurate raytracing and global illumination that yields beautiful, photo-realistic images. The user interface is simply and does not require advanced knowledge of rendering techniques. SU Podium V2.6 employs advanced rendering technology but sticks to it's original intention: To make photo-realistic rendering for SketchUp an easy and rewarding task. SU Podium V2.6 is a photorealistic rendering plug-in for SketchUp developed to turn your SketchUp model into a photo-real image with realistic lighting, material properties, reflection, and refraction.
