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 Secret Garden" - Evermotion Challenge

Once again hi to everyone. To start with I would like to mention that this is the first that I am participating in this competition, and the reason I have applied was a very inspiring topic. I have started working on the project two months ago, but due to my other duties and holidays I had to make some breaks. This is the first draft from which point I started my project. The thing I prefer while working on an architectural project is to immediately take/include real dimensions, therefore I started with cubes in real size in order to avoid confusion in proportion later. 176913 What I wanted to represent here is a kind of a parallel world, meaning a world of nature in urban setting. I wanted to give it some character and make it alive, to represent it as a separate entity that has taken over its space and put it in some kind of parallel reality within which it exists/lives and functions according to its own rules, and which is available only to those to seek to see it.
