 Studio rendering techniques

In this tutorial, we analyze some common studio techniques used to photograph isolated subjects for catalogue, marketing, product design, and lifestyle imagery.

We then model a generic studio configuraion in SketchUp and use it to render three different examples in ProWalker GPU (tough any of the techniques work just as well in SU Podium.)

 About Podium Browser

Podium Browser paid content includes thousands of render ready components that you can click and drop into SketchUp.

Embedded in the various categories are thousands of Podium materials, furniture items, plants, faucets, sinks, microwaves, refrigerators, 3D and 2D trees, grass, 2D people, 3D cars, exterior items, thousands of light fixtures and much more. These components are all modeled with skill and crafted in SketchUp with SU Podium V2 & V2+ properties. This will enable you to create your kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, exteriors and landscape designs in SketchUp effectively.

Rendering the Browser components photo-realistically with SU Podium V2 or Podium Walker does not require anything but to turn the render button on. Podium Browser free content is included in SU Podium V2 free trial or full version. The Paid content must be purchased.
