Quick tip - This month's tip is short production timelapse demonstrating how a kitchen panorama can be created in SU Podium using only models from Podium Browser.
The six minute video with narration explains how to design your space using Podium Browser components, setup lighting and presets, and examines some best practices for creating a Panorama render and uploading it to the Pano Server.
360° Podium Panoramas can now be uploaded and embedded on a Facebook page or timeline post with only one additional step.
Watch a video explaining how to do this here, or read about it here.
Lighting tip - SU Podium provides two separate sliders to control lighting in the environment tab: intensity and exposure. In short, the intensity slider corresponds to the strength/brightness of the SketchUp sun, and the exposure slider controls the amount of indirect "ambient" light from the sky and surrounding environment.
Click here to see a set of sample iamges demonstrating how the two sliders effect the lighting and tone distribution in your image.
We're still working tirelessly to expand the Podium Browser catalog. So far this month we've added a set of complete retail/commercial building exteriors:
These new buildings work perfectly with the large selection of exterior public/commercial items we've added in the past year.
