Sketchup 2025 Hdri Environment & Realistic Materials

SketchUp 2025: The Best 3 Key New Features

• 1. Enhanced Environments Panel The new Environments panel allows users to toggle and add 360° image files (Hdri) to their SketchUp models. This feature includes a sky dome and dynamic lighting for improved reflections.
• 2. Photoreal Materials Introducing Photoreal Materials, a new face style that utilizes physically based rendering (PBR) textures. These materials interact dynamically with light and the surrounding environment, enhancing realism in your models.
• 3. Generative AI for Textures A groundbreaking generative AI tool is now available when editing materials. This tool automatically creates PBR textures for materials lacking them, streamlining your modeling process.
