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.

Personal Project Role: Modeling, Texturing, Shading, Lighting, Rendering Based on Gary's Tonge concept art,You can see that masterpiece: "Old back street". The main aim was to achieve a steampunk look, focusing at Leonardo Da Vinci in gathering references gave amazing results for me. I designed basic engines, some wings made from wood and skin, power supply and automatic mail box based on the right side of the scene. I used 3dsMax with Vray rendering engine, also Mudbox and Zbrush gave me a lot opportunity to work on details. For the post processig I chose Looks for AfterEffects, creating soft Chrommatic Abberation and add little smoke in Photoshop.

Software: 3ds max, vray, photoshop
