Vray for SketchUp Tutorial Part 3: POST-PROCESSING
I manipulate photos a lot — what I do with my renderings is no different.
If you have seen my Interior Photoshop Tutorial, you’d know the extent of editing that I can do. However, I usually tone down my post-processing when it comes to my Vray renders. Why would I cover up with Photoshop the illumination and material settings I tried to perfect for hours? Definitely a few basic adjustments will do. With that, I assure you, you can do the following steps in five minutes or so. 🙂
By the way, post-processing is a matter a taste. You don’t have to do all the steps and you may already stop at any point. Preferably, just pick up a few tips and try to experiment on your own. Again, the following are the most basic of the basic steps so some of you may already know most of it.
The photo above shows my FINAL IMAGE – rendered and post-processed. What do you think?
I added in a few effects like light leaks and lens flares but those are just my personal preferences. You may or may not do the same. I have been experimenting with light leaks lately, an attempt to imitate (film) photography. Maybe I can tell you more about it next time. For now, how about some of your thoughts?
Hope you liked this three-part tutorial!

nice.. ahm can i ask something?? is it applicable in a lower version of sketch up??
Post processing? Of course. You just have to save the rendered image to JPEG and PNG and do the editing in Photoshop.
In case you are asking about the rendering, just install Vray. I think it can be installed in any SketchUp version. 🙂
