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.

The View

Made from concrete and glass, the Scenic Center’s purpose is to provide a rest area for adventurers and tourists after their arduous hike. The beauty about this space is the view, once inside, the windows create a massive frame of the landscape around it. Sunrise and sunset views can be appreciated from the space, but hard to catch due to the cloudy weather. The center will be open for seven days a week. This way, access to the center is easy in case of harsh weather.
