This thing is might be something you forget to put on your services and your image, so you don't get the result as you want.  

For quite a long time I didn’t really understood what storytelling through architectural visualization image was. 

 It was after I read this book called “All Marketer Tells a Story” by Seth Godin that I finally understood what it meant and changed the way I provide my services.  

I wish you guys the best of luck in the future.

Hey, Reinaldo here have you been using SketchUp consistently? Back when it was 2004 until 2008 where I started out working as an interior design. I have been using SketchUp for quite a long time as a Full-timer in the 3D industry. V-Ray is also available for SketchUp, but there’s something wrong with it.

The problem was that V-Ray for SketchUp at the time was built for 32-bit. This doesn’t support my RAM power for more than 4 GB, this limitation shows lots of problems. Because of this, it forces me to use a different version of V-Ray 5 and I got comfortable with it.

Funny enough recently V-Ray launched V-Ray 5. This new software was also launched along with SketchUp 5.0, this made me mad. I got comfortable with another platform and now SketchUp 5.0 is better and they have a new feature.

This feature can create a real-time presentation with just a press of a button. This feature is named V-Ray Vision and this makes me really jealous. I solely hate V-ray for SketchUp because of this.

So if you are planning to use V-Ray for SketchUp or you have been using it for a long time. I definitely recommend you to use this software with its real-time presentation feature which will tremendously help you with a press of a button.

Now go ahead and use V-Ray for SketchUp, and best of luck!!

Back in 2004, a fire started in my family’s factory. It burnt everything and even left us in debt for 100.000 USD.

After the fire, we all have to move on from the past. I established my design and built the company. Things didn’t go well since I got no job or projects to do, why you might be asking? It is because at that time I believed in the quote “Good things will come to those who wait”. Well, like what the quote says I waited. This is where things went wrong it’s because even if I waited good things won’t come because people didn’t know me. I did nothing about the market, I didn’t introduce myself to the market.

At this point, my eyes were opened and I realize that I interpreted the quote in the wrong way, I took it too literally. Then I realize that this quote is a good quote as long as you interpret it in the right way, effort is always needed the more accurate quote should be “Good things will come to those who put in the effort”. I started taking actions such as introducing myself to the market, doing small exhibitions, and from the exhibitions, I started building relations. Finally, the path is starting to open, it gave me more jobs and projects.

Have you been struggling to get your desired render quality?

Back in 2008, I used to struggle as well in terms of quality. But the one to blame is not the engine but us.

The engine itself only calculates the GI and the lighting as well, it also provides materials and tools. With detailed planning before using V-Ray will help you.

So these are my 5 quick tips to prepare your 3d model ready for V-Ray SketchUp and best of luck!!
