Rendering in SketchUp: From Modeling to Presentation for Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design
by Daniel Tal
Chapter 9
Apply, Assess, and Adjust
In what follows, “the three As” (Apply, Assess, and Adjust) refers to the steps taken to achieve rich, realistic textures laid out onto model surfaces. The three As are part checklist and part actions to be performed. This chapter will teach you the specifics for each step. Use this chapter as a reference manual and refer back to it as you progress through the rendering process.
You should follow all of the Apply steps. The Assess and Adjust steps are optional if you are new to rendering. Assess and Adjust are good practices to adopt as you gain more experience and practice. However, if you are new to rendering, be patient with yourself and gradually implement these additional steps. Your time is better spent mastering the basic techniques before trying to fully implement these additional Assess and Adjust steps. Eventually, with time and practice, the three As should become an integral and habitual part of your rendering process.
