Sketchup 2017 - Vray

V-Ray’s rendering core relies on Global Illumination algorithms—specifically Irradiance Map and Light Cache. This technology simulates indirect lighting (light bouncing off walls). In the SketchUp 2017 workflow, the setup of these engines was automated through "Render Presets." Users could toggle between "Draft" and "High Quality," removing the need to understand the underlying mathematical sampling algorithms.

The physical camera model allowed control over shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO. Output could be set to Render Elements (e.g., shadow, reflection, alpha masks) for post-processing in Photoshop. sketchup 2017 vray
