SketchUp's Real-Time Rendering Moment: Lumion View, AI Render, and the End of the Export Workflow

SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.

A model I created back in 2009 to increase my modelling skills in 3ds Max. Based on a toy I own, I learned new ways to generate textures and displacement on that model. I made it come to live in 2012 with new renders to make her look better, the plan was to create a studio photo light style using Mental Ray and photometric lights. Then the images were adjusted in post with curves and a bunch of other "photo" effects.

Software: 3ds Max, Mental Ray, Photoshop, After Effects,
