Rendering in SketchUp: From Modeling to Presentation for Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design

Chapter 7

The Texture Library

To attain the best rendering results, you’ll need to obtain material textures to apply to the SketchUp model. After you download your textures, you’ll need to organize them into a coherent library (Fig. 7.1) so that they are easily accessible and can be reused. SketchUp can be linked to the Texture Library, which will enable you to directly insert custom materials into your models.
