The Light editing tool not only allows precise light positioning, but it can also give live feedback while rendering interactively in the main window. Thea for SketchUp has its own point lights. Section cuts allow you to cut through buildings and rooms maintaining the same interior lighting as if the external walls were still in place.
Section cuts are now supported in SketchUp 2014 (and newer versions). This makes it possible to turn off geometry updates when you only want to edit materials or lighting.

The Custom Scene Update buttons allow the user to control the update of materials, geometry, lights, and proxies every time the scene starts rendering. The Fog preset allows you to control the fog density, the bottom and top positions, and create unique photorealistic renderings.Īdditionally, there is also a Cloud material preset for adding volumetric effects on defined solid groups or components. With Thea for SketchUp you can adjust the Global Medium of your scene, via the settings at the Environment tab. Stereoscopic image output exports two 360-degree images for both eyes, letting you see the model in 3D using simple red-cyan glasses or VR headset. Since downloaded materials are saved locally, there is no need to re-download them.

After the download is complete, the material can be applied with the Bucket tool. To download an online material, double-click the thumbnail. The Online Repository can now be accessed directly from the Thea content browser. While importing a file the user is able to adjust the proxy materials. In Thea for SketchUp it is possible to import FBX, OBJ, DAE and 3DS files and convert them to Proxy Models. On top of that, three new exposure presets have been added for different scene types (interior, interior with sunlight, exterior).
#Thea render v1.3 manual
The Adjust Exposure button takes away the manual process of finding the correct exposure of the rendered image with one click. The user interface has been redesigned from scratch following SketchUp’s simplicity and ease of use.
The advanced Thea material editor has been fully integrated in SketchUp, bringing all the advanced and unique features of Thea materials.
It is a valuable tool in the workflow as it gives you an immediate visualization of modifications to the geometry, environment, depth of field, reflections, light distribution, material properties and external Thea models. Additionally, with the use of interactive region rendering, you can select and render a region of the SketchUp view, providing ultra-fast feedback for complex scenery. Thea for SketchUp allows you to run interactive rendering either inside Thea window or directly inside the SketchUp view, a feature that we call interactive render overlay. Different materials can be applied to the front and back face of a surface allowing the creation of unique effects like fabric, leaves and more.
