I'm going to check out these other rendering engines you mention. I tried a few quick models I put together. You might want to check them out for compatibility before downloading / installing / buying. There are still more, you can do a search on these forums as well that will yield some results. PovRay (free) I don't know who still uses this though Mitsuba (free) export models to collada/dae for use here Maxwell (payware, slightly more costly) Blender Cycles (free) but ptobably best to use plugin to export from SketchUp to Blender (like BlendUp, payware) Juju wrote:Oooh, rendering engines, there are soooo many to choose from (depending on your intended use), but if free / low cost ones are what you're after then look at (in no specific order of preference): I'm thinking that I need to upgrade my entire System and upgrade from Sketchup 8 to be able to use the rendering addons. My computer System consists of Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, NVidia Geforce GT610, 2x2GB RAM Chips, Intel Core i3-3220 CPU and Sketchup 8. If only the rendered scene / model that I created could look that good. The "samples" shown on the websites look nice. This kinda cuts into the environment of creativity for the average user. Most of the rendering addons were costly. But, Sketchup, in itself, IS limited in its rendering. I REALLY like Sketchup for the fact that I can create just about anything.
I'm trying to find a solution to this dilemma. iRender nXT DID render a scene I put together, but it always came out grainy. I tried Bright 3D which was quick but didn't have to much in the way of options. I've been trying to find a rendering addon for Sketchup 8.
