#HOW TO CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR IN SKETCHUP 2017 DOWNLOAD#
You can download the styles from the Styles page on Note: When your SketchUp shadows are on, Sun light is on regardless of what background option has been selected.
These styles are simply modified SketchUp sky and background colors. We have made some SketchUp styles to help you. In some cases, you may want to turn off Physical Sky and use your own SketchUp styles. If your SketchUp Shadows are on, change the time of day of month so the sun is at a different angle.You can also turn off or on SketchUp's Sky. Go to SketchUp Styles and then to Background.Turn off Physical Sky in the SU Podium Options/Environment dialog.You may want to do a night rendering or need others atmospheres or you may find the physical sky is too bright and want to control background light with SketchUp colors. There are situations that you do not want the physically accurate sky simulation. If you don’t like this effect and/ or want to have control of the sky color as well as additional control of sun light, do the following: The color will depend on the time of the day and year that your SketchUp shadows are set to. Physical Sky has a sky color gradient that you can not control. For example, morning and evening will be yellow and noon will be white/blue. There is a specific color to every time of the day. But after a while, the tint will disappear. If you are inside an artificially lightened building around noon on a sunny day and go outside, you will immediately notice this blue tint. In the real world, we don’t notice the blue tint (on a sunny day) because our eyes accommodate for the colors.
However, like in the real world, midday sky casts a bluish tint. Therefore, Physical Sky is almost always the best option. It produces a realistic background with a greater color depth than SketchUp’s default background. SU Podium's physical sky creates an accurate simulation of the real sky. Physical Sky will only be on when SketchUp Shadows are on. Physical Sky will ignore the SketchUp background colors but rather is controlled by the preset variables, time day and year, location. Physical Sky is a setting where Podium calculates and displays Sky turbidity (haziness caused by particles suspended in the atmosphere) and depth. Default Back to Environment Settings TOCĭefault will use your current SketchUp background color and/or SketchUp Sky settings (set in your SketchUp Style) for the rendered image's background colors.
