Backgrounds Matter in SketchUp
HDRI backgrounds provide realistic context and lighting for architectural presentations. Most designers use limited asset libraries or generic skies. Custom backgrounds give your renders professional polish and client specific context.

What SketchUp Professionals Are Creating
Custom HDRIs let you provide accurate environmental context for client presentations, whether it's residential designs with neighborhood appropriate settings, commercial projects with urban contexts, or landscape architecture with specific lighting conditions. Professionals are using Skybox AI to generate site specific backgrounds that help clients visualize projects in realistic settings without expensive photography or generic stock images.
