Automatic Materials: When Automatic Materials is on, SU Podium understand that certain SketchUp standard materials will be assigned pre-defined Podium photo-realistic material properties.
Podium Browser Materials: Podium library of higher resolution textures and hundreds of pre-made render ready Podium materials in the Podium Browser.You can use standard SketchUp materials as well higher resolution textures from a variety of libraries as well as Podium Browser content. When rendered these properties bring the model to life by reflecting light and the environment. Reflections, refractions, bump maps and other advanced properties can be applied to a specific SketchUp materials. SU Podium can turn these plain textures into very realistic materials, quickly and intuitively via the Podium material user interface. Realistic Materials: An essential part of creating SketchUp models is applying textures to faces.
