What’s happening ladies and gentlemen,
this is Minh from Architecture Inspirations.
Today I’m going to show you how to render online
using Vray Cloud for Sketchup.
Let’s get started.
So a couple of weeks ago ChaosGroup
gave me access to Vray Cloud
which is a cloud rendering service
specifically for Vray,
so a huge thanks to them!
Vray Cloud is in Beta right now,
so you can request access by going to this link here
Once you have access to Vray Cloud,
go to your Sketchup model and to start a render.
First, go to the Vray asset editor.
Then click on this arrow here,
and select this cloud icon
to send your current scene to Vray Cloud.
Next you should see a web page open.
Just use your ChaosGroup account to sign in.
After that, you will see this page,
which is where you can submit a job or a render
There are also other tabs here,
such as Portal,
which is where you can see current jobs
that are in progress.
You can have up to 10 active jobs at the same time
which is super awesome!
Right now I have no current job in Queue.
So I can back to the Render Tab.
There are also sections for Terms
and for Frequently Asked Questions as well
Here you can change the job and project name,
in this case I will keep it as it is.
But I will increase the resolution to 3840 by 2160,
which is equivalent to a 4K Image.
Here you can see the output format.
If you want to change the output format,
you have to do it within Sketchup
before you start Vray Cloud
You can do that using the Save Image option here,
and then choose the file type like so.
I will keep the default output format settings as an EXR
and click here to submit the render.
It will take a while to upload your scene,
depending on the complexity of your model.
After it’s done, you can click here to view the progress.
There you go, now you can let this run
and continue working on your model
or add another job if you want.
Or you can just sit back and relax
When the render is completed,
you can look at the side bar here to see some information,
such as the render time
and how many credits were used.
Now I’m going to click here to download the images.
It will be downloaded as a ZIP file so just extract it.
Here I have an EXR file, a JPG file,
and a Vray Correction Controls file.
With a quick look at the JPG file,
you can see that the render looks really good.
But, where are the Render Elements?
To get render elements, you have to open up the EXR file.
To do that, open up Sketchup,
Next, open the Vray Frame Buffer Window
by clicking this button here.
Or you also go to the Asset Editor and click here.
Then click on this icon to load an image.
Make sure you select the right type of file here.
In this case, we are looking for an EXR file.
It might take a while to load
depending on the size of the image.
There it is!
Now remember that correction control file earlier?
That file is for the global settings
of the Vray correction controls.
Here you can see that it’s set to default
and none of the settings are on.
So I’m going to click here and load in that file.
There we go, you can see that some of these settings
are now turned on
which reflect my correction controls settings
of the original model.
The more important side of this
is that you get all of the render elements here.
And you can save all of these images
by holding down this button
and choose this option to save all.
There we go, that's how you can render online
using Vray Cloud for Sketchup
And that’s all for today guys,
leave a like if you enjoyed the video.

stay inspired guys, and I will see you, Next Time
