Eliminate Entourage
• Get rid of any plants• Also, bottles, plates, silverware, etc• 3D people• These can be flat image-based components in
SketchUp• get used to Photoshopping these in
Control visibility with Styles
Control objects you see with Layers
IRender only selections
Break apart model if needed
• save a copy of your project FIRST• delete everything but the part of the model
you need for that particular view• cross your fingers
Other options for rendering
• Work on the desktops (marginally faster)• Other rendering programs– Kerkythea, IDX, 3D Studio Max– Require re-creating lighting; changes hard
Why render anyway?
• Photoshop– Filters– Lighting– Compositing
• AutoDesk Impression – for “hand rendering” AutoCAD format drawings– File>Export>2D Graphic…, or File>Export>CAD
Formats…– Use markers, pencils, etc.
