Instancing in Sketchup using indigo render

Ang instancing ay isang pamamaraan para bumilis ang pagrender ng isang scene na punong puno ng mga bagay na paulit ulit na kagaya ng mga halaman at puno. Unfortunately indigo render and kerkythea render are the only two I know at the moment that has this feature available in SketchUp. And there are some limitations too, like the model should be made inside sketchup and not imported from another 3d modeling app like max.

Some examples of renderings where instancing is used are shown below. These are from the GH house Archviz challenge.





Alam ko na hindi popular na rendering app ang indigo render but I still decided to post this just in case somebody would be interested in trying it out.

This is actually a repost. It was originally posted on this thread http://www.cgpinoy.org/first-5-post-3d-work-in-progress-f15/arch-viz-study-the-farnsworth-house-updates-with-settings-t11422.htm It was posted as an explanation on how I was able to to make hundreds of thousands copies of a grass plant and hundreds of trees on my scenes without crashing sketchup.

Para magawa ang exercise na ito kailangan may naka install na sketchup, Skindigo and indigo renderer.
Download skindigo here: http://www.indigorenderer.com/sketchup/
Download indigo here: http://www.indigorenderer.com/download
You also need a 3d tree. You can download the model used on the exercise here: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=af16934c4f7b06ca7b801fdf37c82cf1&prevstart=0


1. Gawing 'component' yung 3d tree. Choose the tree and right click, then choose 'Make component G'. (ang component ang katumbas ng 'block' sa autocad.



2. Bigyan mo ito ng pangalan na tree.



3. Mag model ng isang bagay na hugis punongkahoy sa mismong lugar ng tree component. Ito ang magsisilbing dummy or proxy.



4. Pagkatapos ay gawin mo rin itong component.



5. Bigyan mo ito ng pangalan na tree_dummy. Mahalaga na dapat ang pangalan ng dummy ay nasa unahan nito ang pangalan ng bagay na ipo-proxy nito. Sa halimbawang ito, ang kailangan nating iproxy ay yung tree kaya nasa unahan ng pangalan ng dummy ito. Ang pinakamahalaga ay yung '_dummy' na idudugtong sa pangalan sa huli. Kapag hindi naidagdag ito ay hindi lalabas yung bagay na naka proxy kapag nirerender na.



6. Choose and right click the tree component and choose 'Enable Instancing'. Gawin din ito sa tree_dummy component.




7. Kopyahin at ikalat ang tree_dummy. You can use component spray plugin to speed this task. (equivalent of vray scatter) Maddownload ito dito: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=11746
