In this video I show the new functions time of day and year animation. It is commented in German.

This German tutorial explains how to create a color scheme for an interior using Colored Architecture and SketchUp. We will use 5 photos of the room to be designed as well as the length, width and height measured with a folding rule as a template. So we practically start from scratch and end up with a beautifully designed 3D model of our room with an interactive color scheme and realistic radiosity visualization.

This software supports designing efficient and plausible colour schemes and material selections in the architectural design process. The Colored Architecture software prototype makes it possible to rapidly and realistically assess the effect of colour, materials and light in architectural modelling using a parameter-driven system. The traditional way of rendering architectural models use radiosity visualization is often too time-consuming to be of practical use in the design process. To improve the workflow, the live radiosity calculation of Colored Architecture provides a physically correct visualization of the material whilst allowing the parameters position of the sun, cloudiness and surface-colour to be adjusted interactively.
