If you are on the fence, consider this: The AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry is moving toward .

: Instead of standard SketchUp textures, use the Chaos Cosmos library. These assets are pre-optimized with complex properties like reflection, refraction, and bump maps. Switch from CPU to V-Ray GPU in the

Use V-Ray Vision (real-time preview) or V-Ray Interactive Render at a low resolution to tweak lighting and materials on the fly.

If you are looking to refine your visualization pipeline, let me know: Are you primarily rendering or exteriors ? : Instead of standard SketchUp textures, use the

Switch to this mode only when you are ready to export your final image. Turn off interactive rendering to free up system resources. CPU vs. GPU Rendering

The 2023 updates improved post-processing directly within the VFB, including support for chromatic aberration and better color distribution control via a new histogram widget. Enhancing Workflow with SketchUp Studio
