The SketchUp + V-Ray for Interior Design short course is a practical, hands-on program designed to teach participants how to create professional 3D interior models and photorealistic renderings. SketchUp’s intuitive modeling tools make it one of the most popular platforms for quickly developing interior spaces, while V-Ray adds the power of realistic lighting, materials, and rendering to produce high-quality images suitable for client presentations.
Throughout the course, students will learn how to build accurate 3D interior models in SketchUp, including walls, furniture, and decorative elements. They will then apply textures, materials, and lighting setups before moving into V-Ray to render their projects with realistic detail. The course also covers camera composition, rendering settings, and post-processing techniques, enabling participants to present their designs at a professional standard.
By the end of the program, learners will be able to confidently use SketchUp and V-Ray to design, model, and render interior spaces, creating polished visuals for portfolios, client meetings, or real-world projects. These skills are highly valuable for interior designers, architects, and students who want to elevate their presentations and compete in today’s design industry.
The SketchUp + V-Ray for Interior Design short course introduces learners to the complete workflow of creating and presenting interior spaces in 3D. Using SketchUp, students will learn how to build accurate 3D models of rooms, furniture, and decorative elements with speed and precision. Once the models are created, the course moves into V-Ray, where learners apply realistic materials, lighting, and rendering techniques to transform basic models into high-quality, photorealistic images.
Participants will also explore how to set up camera views, create effective compositions, and use V-Ray’s rendering settings to produce polished outputs. The course emphasizes hands-on practice, ensuring students not only understand the software tools but also how to apply them in real design scenarios.
By the end of the program, learners will have the skills to design, model, and render interiors that are both visually compelling and presentation-ready. This makes the course ideal for interior designers, architects, and design students looking to upgrade their portfolios and communicate ideas more effectively to clients and stakeholders.
Learn to navigate the SketchUp interface and essential tools. Set up project units and templates for interiors, then model kitchen walls, floors, and ceilings. Begin creating cabinets, countertops, and basic furniture. Practice: draft the base layout of a kitchen.
Add key details such as doors, windows, and partitions. Import and place appliances including sink, stove, and fridge. Create shelves, drawers, and storage units while using components and groups for efficient modeling. Practice: complete a full 3D kitchen model.
Apply realistic materials like wood, marble, tiles, glass, and metals. Set up natural daylight and artificial lighting such as pendant lights and spotlights. Configure cameras for interior perspectives. Practice: prepare the kitchen scene for rendering.
Learn V-Ray render settings to produce high-quality images. Adjust exposure, reflections, and shadows for realism. Render final kitchen perspectives and apply basic post-processing for polished results. Final Showcase: present rendered kitchen designs.
