@whiterabbitdesigncompany - That video should have been 2 mins instead 9! Ha. I’ll try to simplify the main take away from it to address @dmhmaestro’s ask:
-
Firstly, using V-Ray without doing any work on materials, lighting, entourage, etc doesn’t yield a much better result than just exporting the model directly out of SketchUp. Adding lines will just make it look more like a ‘straight-from-SketchUp’ export. As @robertjuch said, you can add edges to materials in V-Ray but you’d have to do it to each material so it’s easier/faster to do the way @whiterabbitdesigncompany and @DaveR have suggested to export lines from SketchUp and overlay on top of your V-Ray render.
-
Contrary to what the video shows, set your style to hidden line and in styles, make sure profiles are on and set to ‘1’ and your background is white with no sky or ground showing.
-
To match camera sizes, in V-Ray, choose ‘Match Viewport’ in V-Ray and set your pixel dimensions. Then in SketchUp, when exporting your lines image (JPEG or PNG), choose ‘Use View Size’. Then if you want to match exact pixels as V-Ray, uncheck ‘Use View Size’ and make sure the little chain ‘lock aspect’ icon is set and change viewport pixels - this makes sure that there is no need for re-sizing later in photo editor.
- Lastly, combine and adjust in photo-editor as desired.
Let us know how it turns out!
