Questions about Sketchup and KT
Hey guys, I am new to 3D modeling and raytracing. I am trying various renderers with SU such as KT, Indigo, Brighter, and ArielVision. A lot of people speak highly of KT so I have begun testing it out. I built a scene with my computer desk and some items on it like a monitor, iPhone, iPad. Here is the render with Indigo:
Here is the render with KT:
The immediate problems I have are that the glass that I made is rendering as solid grey instead of the glass material I assigned in SU. The reflective surfaces I made on the monitor, iPad, and iPhone don't render with reflection either. How can I get these objects to render properly like they do in Indigo? Is there something I have to change with the materials I assigned in order to get them to render properly?
Really the whole render is not anywhere near photo realistic like my Indigo render. Have I done something wrong?
Also, is there a way to not use SU's sunlight and make the bulb in the desk lamp illuminate?
