Summary


In this chapter, you have learned how to double your skills as a rendering artist. You have learned how to take renderings and native SketchUp images and add some seasoning. In particular, you will keep coming back to compositing photos and renderings into one image and tweaking levels to give realistic lighting. Creating the depth of field effects and adding reflection to windows can also be used in many scenes to make them look more realistic.

These are some of the main skills a 3D artist needs to get to grips with, and along the way, you picked up the skills to use these tools and methods in many other ways too. You have now graduated from SketchUp Architectural Visualization School! In the next chapter, you will learn how to storyboard and create flythrough animations.
