Interior design living 3D prespective drawing

julian — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 23:38:33 +0000

I have been missing from posting for a week …….! I have been busy learning how to use sketchup 3D drawing and vray rendering software. I spend 3 days to a week to understanding how to draw 3d with sketchup and it is indeed very easy and quick to learn. You do not need to be the tech expert or being a genius to able to product something like this. I must say Google really come out with a wining formular it really powerful and easy to use. Not to mention It cheap …. The retail download price is US$495. for sketchup pro 8 or if you do not want to the pro 8 and i believe that you can download the normal version and it free. Anyway, i strongly recommend you to try it.

Have you try Vray?

Vray claim to be the best rendering software and guess what i agreed with it. So many tutorial online and you just follow the simple steps and wow la ……. you can be a semi-pro. You also can download the trial version and install onto Sketchup.

Here is a picture of a interior living design I recently draw by sketchup and rendering using Vray engine. You can see the details of the reflection and the colour picture. For amateur like me also can produce something like that …. and it just take a week to learn .

Interior design, design software, artlantis rendering software

Here is a design of a study room with book shelving i rendering using artlantis v 2.1. I still testing the rendering software and it prove to be much better then Artlantis v1.2. The con about this software is that it take longer time to render a picture compare to v1.2. But the pro about this software is that the effect and the details prove to be much better.
