dude, not only i liked your way of explanation i subscribed in an instance! No mumbling, clear voice, no strange leveling up your voice, no boring explanations. Just perfect!

I thought i was ready to learn v-ray but after watching this video, I realized I still have a lot to learn on sketchup. Thanks so much for this!!

[dhruvbs]

Fantastic video. No intimidation. Concise and no flair. Love it.

A fantastic introduction, SketchUp School, thank you. As a long time SU user who has been timid of jumping into the world of photorealistic rendering, you have given me the confidence to go for it! Thank you!

EXTREMELY helpful, you explained everything very clearly. I came with so many questions in my mind about a project I'm working on, solved them all ! So lucky ! Your advice on polygons is gold.

Alex thanks for advice. What I learned year after year. You just summarized within few minute. I prefer your course to everyone before they get started with Vray and sketchup. 😊

I like Alex, he's a natural, quite charismatic and explains well. Thanks for this!

Orienting the model is a must. Because lighting is very important in rendering

[SilviaKarounos]

Great video!. I am self taught sketch up person, learning by videos and a lot of effort and dedication for about 3 years, and never saw an explanation so clear, thanks so much!

[Rahma-stgj]

this saved my life i used to struggle with 3ds max but now I'm leaving it and going for sketchup instead. tysm!!

[zareenhumayra]

5:50 You explain everything so easily and in such a well composed manner! Everything looks like a piece of cake from this point! Thanks mate!

[vagadesign]

I've always found that its better to label by object rather than colour, say like with your cabinet, calling it 'Navy Cabinet' means that you have to sift through all the colours rather than objects, if you go 'Cabinet Navy' it means that you will find all the colours in that area a lot quicker.

This video was very import as an introduction to V-Ray. Thank you for clear and to the point instruction.
