Alusion Material

Extending SketchUp V-Ray for SketchUp
1

Hi,

I would like to recreate a LED lighten Alusion wall. Like this one:

What would be the best method to use to get the more realistic render? I’m using Vray.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers.

Alex

Create an Emissive material and add a texture to Color slot (try Noise, Cellular, Speckle. etc.)

Thanks a lot for that little demo. Very useful!

Now if I wanted to give some height to those ‘holes’ of light, do I have to create a texture in photoshop? or there’s a way to do it in Vray?

you can probably use that same texture as bumb or displacement map

5

I’ll try. And if I wanted the black part to have a different color and reflection?

6

the black is called “Color A” in Mihais animation

7

Yeah but I change that color, it also becomes an emission source.

8

also you said to use the same texture, but sorry for what seems a stupid question, how do I export the vray material I created as bitmap texture to then be able to use for my height?

9

you can right click on the texture slot and copy it, move the mouse over another texture slot (displacement e.g.) and paste it there as a copy

10

can I ask how to create the alusion wall panel or is there a texture to download?

hi,

have you watched mihai’s video ? it shows everything step by step.

so no need to download a specific texture. try the above solution
