Plans, sections and elevations are then exported to CAD software to prepare the construction documents.
#Maxwell render sketchup 20154shared pro
Everything starts with handmade sketches, then we create a SketchUp 3D model, we use the pro version to prepare the layouts for permit drawings. Edit - There are now tutorial videos showing the basics of using the new plugin available at the link above.

Modeling with SketchUp is so simple, and has a key role on the design process at the office. There is a brand new FREE plugin just released by Next Limit (makers of Maxwell Render) that will allow you to render with realtime feedback within the regular free version of Sketchup (versions 6,7,8). The project selected for this ‘making of’ is a private house designed by arkitekter, an architecture practice based in Malmö, Sweden where I work. Technical Architectural Lighting (tal.be/en/photometrics) – HEB 150-150 HEB150LED.LDT OPENFOOTAGE – HDRI 360 Field airport Salzburg, Austria Unfortunately I can’t distribute the textures used here as they are not my property, but I can tell you where to find them:ĬG TEXTURES – Plaster Bare 0122_3_S (Texture #64692), Soil Mud 0019_5_S (Texture #32070) and Metal Bare 0104_1_L (Texture #13550). Here are the ‘ Turfstone’ pavers/scene and grass map. You can download the files to follow along with Maxwell for SketchUp tutorial. For 3D trees and vegetation I used Arbaro (a free tree generation software) and Photoshop for final post-production. The software used in this two part tutorial is Sketchup 8 and Maxwell for SketchUp. The Maxwell for SketchUp plugin has been designed for rendering within SketchUp and you don’t need to export your scene anywhere. This is the first of a two part tutorial about the use of the Maxwell for SketchUp in architectural visualization. Victor is currently working for Malmö based architectural practice arkitekter and kindly shares a two part tutorial for us. He is a member of the Swedish Association of Architects and is based in Lund, Sweden. Use the best rendering engine to experiment with a photorealistic illumination, and feel the warmth of the Californian sunset in your project from your screen.
