SU Podium V2 - Photo-realistic rendering series Part 5: Night RenderingJim Allen has produced an insightful series of articles which explore how to produce realistic render images from SketchUp with Podium V2. The series looks at one particular model and explorers different ways to produce high quality renderings from this model.Part 5 is the last of the series and looks at night rendering.  3. SU Podium V2 Tip of the month - working with two point perspectiveSU Podium V2 does render two point perspective camera views (2PP). However, if you navigate the camera in 2PP and render again, Podium render's the previous camera position. To deal with this, change your camera position in perspective view and then invoke 2PP. Then render. Use perspective view to change the camera position before invoking 2PP to render.
