I want to do the plastic glossy texture to an object what I did and to put a lighting effect to a LED strip and a lamp.
The object can be seen here holder with plate - YouTube
Could you help me?
Thanks a lot.
there is no ‘native’ way in SketchUp, you would need to use a render extension for that. These extensions can set materials to be ‘emissive’ and render it in a realistic way:
Render[in] has a very simple way:
Yes, that I want. It’s great.
I’m afraid that it’s too much for me. I’m beginer in Sketchup. It’s my first 3D project.
Render [in] it is an extension? Where I can find it?
Your video sample with lighting looking nice, but how can I do that? Have you an template step by step for beginers?
I still not have discovered how to do realistic my object.
Could you help me more?
PLEASE!

It working with Sketchup free edition?
I ask because here write SketchUp 2018 :((
Thank you!
I think that this is the best solution for me.
Mike, please look at private message what I sent you.
kerkythea too is free one? I’ve not used it but it looks good.
It was a long time ago that I used Kerkthea, it was free, but now Altair has Thea Render, evolved from KerkThea, I thought, which is not free…
I use Thea myself, which as you say came from Kerkythea? (which I too tried many years ago - then went to V-Ray, but now use Thea) but Kerkythea is still freeware: Kerkythea - Home
Looking through the gallery it has some decent renders.

Thank you for your help, but you speak Chinese for me.
I told you, I’m a beginner in 3D. This is the first 3D drawing and use technical words.
Frankly, I do not understand too much.
I still hope that someone will help me at Commercial and Collaborative Work - SketchUp Community
I’ve just begun to stand in my foot up and you want to run to marathon.
