Simple Steps to Create HDR environment in Vray for SketchUp

this is what normal rendering without the use of HDR image to create background environment looks like. Just normal render setting with vraysunlight as the source of light.

WIP : high-end residential apartment

recent works using hdri for the GI lighting, and a bit photoshopping for the background. quite light rendering (took about 30 minutes to render for 5000pix). all in all quite satisfying results!  :D
