✅ Modeling for V-Ray Performance & Efficiency in SketchUp
Creating high-quality renders in V-Ray for SketchUp requires efficient modeling to maintain speed and avoid crashes. Here’s how to optimize your SketchUp models for smooth performance and fast V-Ray rendering.

🎯 Step 1: Optimize Your 3D Model
Use Low-Poly Models When Possible

Download optimized models from 3D Warehouse or V-Ray Cosmos.

Avoid excessive high-poly furniture and trees.

Convert Heavy Objects to V-Ray Proxies

Convert complex objects (trees, cars, furniture) into V-Ray Proxies.

Go to V-Ray Toolbar Export Proxy.

This keeps the SketchUp file lightweight while maintaining render quality.

Clean the Model

Remove unused components:

Window Model Info Purge Unused.

Use "CleanUp³" Plugin to delete hidden geometry and duplicate faces.

🛠️ Step 2: Optimize Materials & Textures
Use Compressed, Lower-Resolution Textures

Avoid textures above 4K resolution unless necessary.

Use JPEG instead of PNG for smaller file sizes.

Enable Texture Optimization in V-Ray

Go to V-Ray Asset Editor Settings GPU.

Enable Optimize Textures to reduce memory usage.

Use V-Ray Triplanar Mapping Instead of UV Mapping

Avoid large-scale UV-mapped textures and use Triplanar Mapping for seamless textures.

✨ Step 3: Optimize Lighting for Faster Renders
Use V-Ray Sun & Sky Instead of HDRI

HDRI environments can slow down renders.

Instead, use V-Ray Sun & Sky for natural lighting.

Limit the Number of Artificial Lights

More V-Ray Lights = Longer Render Time.

Use V-Ray Rectangle Lights efficiently.

Enable Adaptive Lights in V-Ray

Go to V-Ray Settings Light Cache.

Enable Adaptive Lights for faster calculations.

🌄 Step 4: Optimize Render Settings for Efficiency
Use Progressive Rendering for Previews

Turn on Interactive Rendering to test scenes quickly.

Enable Denoiser to Reduce Noise

Activate Intel or NVIDIA Denoiser in V-Ray Settings.

Use Adaptive Sampling

In V-Ray Settings Sampler Type, choose Adaptive.

This improves render speed by focusing on important details.

🎬 Step 5: Render Smartly for Performance
Use Region Rendering for Previews

Render only specific areas instead of the full scene.

Start with Low-Resolution Renders

Use 800x600 for quick previews before rendering in HD or 4K.

Use V-Ray Swarm for Faster Rendering

If you have multiple computers, enable Swarm to distribute the workload.

✅ Pro Tips:
✔ Convert high-poly models to Proxies for better SketchUp performance.
✔ Optimize glass reflections and shadows to reduce render times.
✔ Use fewer light sources and let Global Illumination (GI) do the work.
