How To Give Shadow Effect on SketchUp


One of the settings that can beautify the 3D model that we make is to give a shadow effect on the model. by giving this shadow effect, the model will look more real so that the model looks more alive

Sketchup has the facility of providing shadow or sunlight effects to support the model so looks more real. Uniquely in Sketchup, the setting of the shadow rendering is in accordance with the location of the sun on the earth that we live in. so we do not need  to give the light to the model manually.

Now for those of you who are confused about how to give shadow effects to SketchUp, here are the steps you can follow.

To activate this shadowing facility you can do this by selecting the window tab> default extension and selecting shadow, the shadow settings tab will appear and the shadow will appear on the model. Or for SketchUp 2015 and above, you can directly open the Shadow tab located on the right side of the screen

  

You can adjust the location of the sun according to your desire by sliding the setting slider in the Shadows Settings tab. Settings that you can do are the position of the time in  hour, moon, the intensity of the light etc.
