| Goal | Action in V-Ray for SketchUp 2022 | |------|-----------------------------------| | Faster test renders | Switch to Progressive mode, lower Max samples to 100–200, enable Render mask (region render). | | Reduce noise | Increase Subdivs in lights/materials (use 24–32), enable Denoiser (Intel Open Image Denoiser is fastest). | | Improve GI quality | Set Brute Force for primary + Light Cache for secondary. Increase LC subdivs to 2000–3000 for interiors. | | Save memory | Use V-Ray Proxy for complex components (trees, cars, furniture). SketchUp geometry stays lightweight. |
Before we discuss rendering, we must appreciate the host software. SketchUp Pro 2022 was a landmark release. Unlike later versions that focused on cloud collaboration, 2022 honed the core desktop experience. Sketchup Pro 2022 Vray

If you are currently using a newer version, many professionals maintain a parallel installation of SketchUp Pro 2022 because of its reputation for stability during long V-Ray IPR (Interactive Product Rendering) sessions. If you are currently using a newer version,
Rendering is computationally expensive. The SketchUp Pro 2022 + V-Ray pipeline requires specific optimization strategies to maintain efficiency.
