Position the camera about 5 feet above the ground and as close to the origin as possible.Open an empty SketchUp scene and select the Podium Twilight SketchUp style.
WHY WONT SHADOWS CAST ON GROUND ON SU PODIUM HOW TO
How to create an HDRI image from the SU Podium 'Twilight' Style. What if you want an HDRI background for ProWalker that is identical to one of your commonly used SketchUp styles? This can be accomplished using the SU Podium V2.5+ panoramic option to create a 360° render of an empty SketchUp scene. Explaining this workflow in detail is beyond the scope of this page, there is an excellent explanation of the workflow here: Creating custom studio HDRIs in Photoshop. Simply by enlarging and changing the shape of the light source, you can see we have softened the shadows considerably. If you wanted softer shadows you could use the 50% Gray HDRI background available at the top of this page, and then use LEM lights in your SketchUp scene to cast soft shadows.Ī more advanced technique is to try creating your own HDRI studio images directly in Photoshop, which is what we have done for the image below. Any of the sun/sky simulations would have worked just as well with this scene. This render was lit with a gray HDRI background, which contains a sun to cast hard directional shadows. With this method, our render contains a vivid, colorful background that complements the paint color of the bed but does not wash it out. In this example we used a simple 90° curve with about 80 segments, painted solid blue. Instead, we can achieve a more pleasing result by physically adding a colored background into the SketchUp scene. The resulting image will have a very pronounced color cast which overpowers the subject (as seen right). HDR based lighting replaces the sun and sky so if you use a solid blue HDRI background, all the ambient light being emitted into your scene will be blue. This is where the "HDRI only" approach starts to break down. Can I use a solid-colored HDR other than white, black, or gray?
