With Thea for SketchUp you can adjust the Global Medium of your scene, via the settings at the Environment tab. Stereoscopic image output exports two 360-degree images for both eyes, letting you see the model in 3D using simple red-cyan glasses or VR headset. Since downloaded materials are saved locally, there is no need to re-download them. After the download is complete, the material can be applied with the Bucket tool. To download an online material, double-click the thumbnail. The Online Repository can now be accessed directly from the Thea content browser. While importing a file the user is able to adjust the proxy materials. In Thea for SketchUp it is possible to import FBX, OBJ, DAE and 3DS files and convert them to Proxy Models. On top of that, three new exposure presets have been added for different scene types (interior, interior with sunlight, exterior).

The Adjust Exposure button takes away the manual process of finding the correct exposure of the rendered image with one click. The user interface has been redesigned from scratch following SketchUp's simplicity and ease of use. The advanced Thea material editor has been fully integrated in SketchUp, bringing all the advanced and unique features of Thea materials. It is a valuable tool in the workflow as it gives you an immediate visualization of modifications to the geometry, environment, depth of field, reflections, light distribution, material properties and external Thea models. Additionally, with the use of interactive region rendering, you can select and render a region of the SketchUp view, providing ultra-fast feedback for complex scenery. Thea for SketchUp allows you to run interactive rendering either inside Thea window or directly inside the SketchUp view, a feature that we call interactive render overlay.

The plugin lets you enrich your models with highly detailed three dimensional content, breaking old limitations related to handled model complexity.ĭifferent materials can be applied to the front and back face of a surface allowing the creation of unique effects like fabric, leaves and more. Having biased, unbiased and interactive render modes including GPU support at your fingertips, inside SketchUp view, is a joyful experience. Thea for SketchUp is a combination of powerful rendering engines of Thea with the simplicity of SketchUp.
