Making of Beauty Salon

By  Do Phu Hoang Nguyen – Phunguyen

In this V-Ray for SketchUp tutorial I will be covering the use of materials and light to create this interior lighted beauty salon image.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr.Whitehorse for collaborating with me on this tutorial by creating this great model shown in the image below.

SketchUp 3D Model

Step 1. Setting up Parameters in Render Options Panel

Settings 1

Settings 2

Settings 3

Settings 4

Settings 5

Settings 6

Settings 7

Step 2.  Setting up Light Sources with Rectangle Light Parameters

When creating wall lights usually  I use  Rectangle Lights in different colors. Different positioning and different light sources require different intensities so I use a multiplier in the range of  500-1200 depending on the effect I want to create.

Step 2

Step 3. Setting up Light Source with Omni Light Parameters

Light Parameters -1

Light Parameters – 2

Light Parameters – 3

Light Parameters – 4

Light Parameters – 5

Light Parameters – 6

Notice that in this tutorial I used only 36 Omni and 9 Rectangle effects to create light sources and I didn’t use GI (Skylight) and background light.

Step 4. Setting Glass Material Parameters

Step 4

After completing all these above settings I am ready to render the model
