Starting from Left to Right, these are the available Light options with links to their Chaos Group information pages: So, in this guide we’ll be focusing on how to light up a model with every single lighting object VRay has to offer. In order to produce a good design render, one of the main skills you need is being able to add good lighting to your space. Your materials and objects will look weird not to mention all the weird shadows and highlight burns your final image will suffer from. You can’t render with bad lighting either. These are the 4 main lights I’ll be focusing on in this tutorial. In Vray, there are 4 types of lights that are most commonly used rectangle light, spot light, omni light, and dome light. I’m using the same scene from the Daylight render ( linked here), but with added light fixtures. I already made a video on lighting up a night scene using ambient light which is perfect if you’re looking for a moody render ( Linked here), but this time we’re aiming for a bright and well lit interior. Here is a screen shot of the particular interior that I will be using.Since the video before this one was about lighting up a scene using daylight or Sunlight, it only makes sense if I made this video on lighting up a scene at night. In this tutorial I will be using the same model that I used in the previous tutorial “Interior Lighting for Beginners” and will be adding components and materials to achieve the desired effect. You will learn how to create a realistic lampshade material and how to position the rectangular lights to achieve the right effect for your shade. In this first tutorial I will be using V-Ray Beta version 1.48.99 ( V-Ray for SketchUp User Manual Version 1.48) and SketchUp version 7.0. I will be focusing on IES, Spotlight, Rectagular and emissive lighting. Since many new features have been added with the latest version of V-Ray for SketchUp, we have decided to do this mini series of tutorials with the latest versions.

Previously Nomer Adona wrote a simple tutorial entitled “Interior Lighting for Beginners” which was published at . In that tutorial he used version 1.05 of V-Ray for SketchUp. Lighting with V-Ray for SketchUp – definitive guide part 1
