![]() ![]() ![]() Choose high quality cutout trees for faceme componentĪbout 70% of the final result of the image, in the case of 2D vegetation, is how well we manage to use the tree textures and how to place them, in order to not feel affected if we want to rotate the camera for taking another angle still shot of the scene.įirst of all, 2D vegetation MUST be a high-quality cutout version of a tree/plant for applying it to our scene. 2D vegetation can also reinforce that kind of “instant” effect that we may want for our renderings, as if we took a shot from a distant point of the scene itself, and also tend to not drag as much attention as high detailed 3D models (this of course if the 2D vegetation files are properly used), and also can be used to create unrealistic render-styles often commonly used in Site Planning renders or even for concept idea renders as they take only 1/10 percent of the time 3D vegetation takes to render. Animations with 2D vegetation seem like a sin for most designers, as the effect of working with plane 2D image is really obvious when you are rotating the camera view while you move. But notice that this only works for 3D Renderings. On the other hand 2D vegetation allows us to create beautiful scenes with less RAM consumption. You can use plugins to create 3d vegetations in Sketchup like in this example: In this tutorial we are going to learn how to use 2d vegetation images as faceme components in sketchup – a must for everybody who is interested in architecture visualization in Sketchup. Why “faceme component”? Because you can define that this plane should always face the camera! This is great because now you do not have to make sure that all the trees you use are aligned to the active camera! The genereal idea is to use a cutout tree image that is mapped on a plane which can be placed in your scenery like a billboard. Here the Sketchup faceme components are ideal to use for trees. Often times we need a good result in a reasonable time frame. As we learned using 3d vegetations and trees components in Sketchup could bring great results, but slow down the rendering process and overall workflow quite a bit. ![]()
