How to Change Chaos Library Model Materials So They Reflect in Interactive Render (SketchUp)

Hey everyone,

Is it possible to edit the materials or colors of 3D models from the Chaos Library in SketchUp?

When I start Render Interactive, any material or color changes I make to the Chaos asset in the SketchUp viewport don’t show up in the render (see the attached image). The model keeps using its original materials.

What’s the correct way to modify Chaos Library models so those changes are reflected in Interactive Render?

hello, in addition to bmike video, understand that every 3D assets you’ll import from chaos library are proxies. editing them directly in sketchup won’t have any effect on what’s going to be rendered as it will refer to an external vmesh file

That video is not mine, found it using internet search. Lots of options if you search.

This one is one I had bookmarked. It’s older so not sure if it’s 100% workable anymore.

Thank you! It finally worked.
