Rendering in SketchUp: From Modeling to Presentation for Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design

Companion IRP Chapters

Software can change very quickly, given updates, patches, and new releases. SketchUp is established software; even with new version releases, the software at its core remains the same. Its tools, menus, and methods have not changed dramatically.

However, IRPs can and will change with new releases and updates. The specifics of each IRP can quickly become outdated.

To accommodate this changing landscape, companion chapters to this book are available online for your use. These review the settings and tools for other integrated rendering programs, and they are kept up-to-date. You should go to www.ambit-3d.com and download these chapters before you continue with the remainder of the book (Fig. 2.1, Fig. 2.2).

Part 6 provides detailed settings and instructions for using Shaderlight by ArtVPS. The online chapters follow the same format used in Part 6. As of the initial release of this book, the online chapters review Twilight Render.
