Features of top shading network software
view port
With the new viewport rendering function, you can easily select and render multiple regions at once, and you can also use the shortcut Ctrl+/- to control transparency and quickly blend V-Ray renderings and SketchUp models.
Powerful GPU rendering
Faster and more powerful GPU rendering capability, new support for air perspective, displacement, subsurface scattering, mask/shadow, and more functions.
GPU+CPU hybrid rendering
The V-Ray GPU renderer running on NVIDIA CUDA can make full use of all hardware resources, including CPU and GPU.
Adaptive Lights
For scenes with many lights, the new adaptive light mode can save up to 7 times the time.
Smart UI
Now the V-Ray for SketchUp interface has become simpler and more intuitive, and its support for 4K displays has been further improved.
File Manager
Manage all scene files in one interface.Set the file path, create a scene archive, and manage the location of resource files, such as texture maps, IES files, and proxy objects.
V-Ray Color Selector
The new color selector is easy to use and powerful.Select a color in the screen sRGB (0 – 255) color space or the linear rendering (0.0 – 1.0) color space.
V-Ray scene import
Import and render V-Ray scene files (. vrscene) from other platforms, such as 3ds Max, Rhino, Revit.
Sunshine simulation
Use SketchUp sun animation to make the effect picture of sunlight and shadow simulation.
Volume fog
Add layers to your scene with new 3D fog and light scattering effects.
New Texture Map
Use the new gradient, color temperature and procedural noise texture map to improve the details of the scene.
2D displacement
With optimized 2D displacement, you can quickly add details to the scene without additional modeling - especially suitable for architectural materials such as bricks and stones.
Animated proxy
Use animated V-Ray proxy objects to easily add pre animated 3D models, such as pedestrians, trees in the wind, etc.
Proxy Preview
Controls the appearance of the V-Ray proxy object in the SketchUp viewport.You can select the complete model, border cube, initial point, and new low model preview mode.
Improve the material effect of viewports
Preview the appearance of the V-Ray material more accurately in the SketchUp viewport.
Improved Denoiser noise reducer
The V-Ray Denoiser noise reducer is now easier to use, and you can even adjust the parameters repeatedly after rendering.
Tutorial of Top shading
1. Software installation
VRay 3.6 Top Configuration Toolbox is a green software, which does not need to be installed. It is placed on the desktop and can be opened by double clicking the software icon.
2. Software overview
The software includes three sets of tools: Sketchup tool, VRay 3.6 tool, VRay authorization service management tool, and related download application authorization links.
3. Use of Sketchup tool
Select a version: It can be used to select the version of SketchUp installed on the computer. If this tool is not installed, it is not available.
Clean plug-ins: one click to clear all plug-ins except VRay. Some people have installed plug-ins with errors. You can use this tool to clear them completely to eliminate errors.
Turn on VRay: if checked, VRay will be loaded when the sketch master is turned on, otherwise it will not be loaded.
