Upon opening SketchUp after the install process youll be prompted to 'Sign in with Trimble' which will open a browser.

HDRI VRAY SKETCHUP HOW TO
Would be great if vray had 4 standard HDRI Domelights with corresponding standard settings. Hdri lighting / vray 3.4 for sketchup Few notes on how Dome light works in the new vray 3.4 for sketchup, and how to use the hdri files from Mediterranean light this is the light toolbar, choose the 6th icon it referes to dome light. Once youve completed the installation you can launch SketchUp. For the lighting I’ve put a VRay Dome with a sky HDRI map and set it to invisible. The attached image is ok, but is there any way to make the sun seem brighter? ie more sun on the sunlit all looks like weak hazy sunshine.I have messed with the domelight texture gamma and intensity.but the sky just gets bleached and the shadows lighten too much. I was wondering about the use with this settup of the Sketchup Sun? I move it around with the Sketchup Shadows tab, is this the best way to move shadows? Would they be more "correct" if I rotated the Skydome texture? I have been through all the relevant Chaos group etc tutorials, this one mentions that the vray domelight turns the brightest spot in the sky to a spotlight, and uses that as the sun, but then to move the sketchup sun independently of the sky wouldn't be the best thing to do? Also how do i turn off the sketchup sun, i have tried ticking and un ticking within SKP the "use sun for shading", no effect. It is an IBL tool, that means it has a lot of interesting features: it works. It is a technique that allows a larger span or range of luminance between the light and dark areas of an image.
