β Using High-Quality Assets from V-Ray Cosmos in SketchUp
V-Ray Cosmos is an online asset library built into V-Ray, offering high-quality 3D models, materials, HDRIs, and decals optimized for realistic rendering in SketchUp.
π― Step 1: Access V-Ray Cosmos in SketchUp
Open SketchUp and make sure V-Ray is installed.
Click the V-Ray Toolbar Cosmos Browser (π icon).
The V-Ray Cosmos Library will open, showing categories like:
Furniture ποΈ
Vehicles π
People π€
Plants & Trees π³
Lighting Assets π‘
HDRI Environments π
π οΈ Step 2: Download & Import High-Quality Assets
Browse & Select an asset (e.g., a realistic chair).
Click Download (assets are downloaded to your local library).
Click Import to place the asset directly into your SketchUp scene.
β¨ Step 3: Optimize V-Ray Cosmos Assets
β Why Cosmos Assets Are Great:
Optimized for V-Ray (no need for extra tweaking).
High-quality textures & realistic materials.
Pre-set lighting & reflections for better rendering.
π§ Customization Tips:
Modify Materials:
Open V-Ray Asset Editor Materials.
Adjust bump, reflection, or displacement for better realism.
Use V-Ray Proxies:
Convert heavy objects into V-Ray Proxies to improve performance.
Enhance Lighting:
Add V-Ray Lights or HDRI Environments for natural illumination.
π¬ Step 4: Render High-Quality Cosmos Assets in V-Ray
Set Render Quality to High or Ultra.
Use Global Illumination (GI) and Ambient Occlusion (AO).
Adjust Light Intensity & Shadows for the best results.
β Pro Tips:
β Use Cosmos Trees & Grass instead of SketchUp's default models for better realism.
β Mix Cosmos furniture with custom assets to create unique interiors.
β Use HDRI backgrounds from Cosmos for realistic outdoor lighting.
