Shaderlight for SketchUp v2 is a Photorealistic rendering plugin for both the Free and Pro versions of Google SketchUp versions 7.1 or 8. With the variety of render modes available it allows for an optimised workflow and the choice of progressive rendering with auto-updates for interactive feedback and a single frame full quality render you can achieve the best result possible.
Replace Me is a unique functionality to Shaderlight v2 that allows you to render detailed models without filling the scene with geometry meaning the response times of SketchUp whilst modelling remain unaffected.
Scene animations can be rendered by Shaderlight due to the addition of the new button on the toolbar. Once you have created your scene within SketchUp, Shaderlight can render it out as a sequence of photorealistic frames.
The accurate lighting adds to the photorealism of your SketchUp render passes. This is achieved via the use of the SketchUp sun, image based lighting or physical sky or even your own images for the exterior lighting. For interior lighting point, spot, area, portal or IES lights can be utilised from Shaderlights light editor.
The presentation of the renders isn't prescribed either, with numerous options available to you. You can create isometric viewpoints, standard elevation details, render plans and even opt for the Chalk Render Mode for quick studies of the model.
