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.

Bergen, Norway

Residential project in Bergen, Norway. Starting this project we carefully studied preferences of the architects and real estate developer. I met with them in Bergen and tried to get as much information about all the details as we could. We were focused on: nice Scandinavian greenery as architects work carefully to integrate the project in the landscape; sunny weather, as in Norway not so much of sunny days and Norwegian adore sunny weather; family mood, as the project is for families with kids. I hope we succeed in it and would be glad to hear your comments.
