Furniture Design Masterclass with Vray for Sketchup

Configure SketchUp for furniture modeling by setting up view shortcuts, grouping and hiding components, using x-ray mode, and selecting units in meters, millimeters, centimeters, or inches.

Learn to use Pureref to organize reference images for furniture modeling in SketchUp, keep high-resolution references on screen, and streamline alignment and saving workflows.

learn to place reference images in SketchUp by importing plans as images or textures, scaling with the tape measure tool, and organizing references into groups for accurate modeling.

Create placeholders by placing boxed blocks with the rectangle tool, grouping them, and snapping in the front view, then use height shortcuts and guidelines to align for quad modeling.

Learn quad modeling in SketchUp using free quad phase tools and paid Sub D plugin to craft a smooth cushion with edge loops, subdivision, crease, and vertex tools.

Master cushion modeling in SketchUp by applying subdivision, creasing edges, and using quad push tools to shape, copy, and assemble side cushions as components.

Learn to model sofa legs in SketchUp by drawing precise rectangles with axis locking, extruding thickness, adding openings, using x-ray view, and applying the round corner plugin, then mirroring components.

Create sofa cushions with clothworks in SketchUp, shaping a pillow from a rectangle, wrapping it around cushions with colliders, and tuning gravity, viscosity, bend, and self-collision for realism.

Use the cloth works plugin to turn cushions into cloth simulations, adjusting subdivisions, thickness, and collider settings to reveal natural creases.

Create sofa seams in SketchUp using simple quad tools and lines, adjust tube diameter and position to produce flat or circular seams, for multiple sofas and cushions.

Learn to fix UVs in SketchUp using the V-Ray texture positioning tools and SketchUp plugin options, mastering planar and box map projections to achieve clean texture mapping on 3D models.

Apply high-quality fabric textures in SketchUp using diffuse, reflection, glossiness, and normal maps; wrap textures around models, adjust seams, and verify mapping with projection for a realistic finish.

Learn to set up studio lighting for product renders in SketchUp with Vray, using HDR studio textures, light mix, and RTX interactive rendering for a polished final image.

Learn to produce a final 4k product render in V-Ray for SketchUp, using interactive render, two-point perspective, material ID workflows, and post-production in the frame buffer.
