        If youve got a lot of time and need short learning curve indigo is the way to go.

        If you need your render done quickly kerkythea is probably a better option. Theres loads of tutorials available to get you started, as well.

          Thanks a lot for the suggestions. And these can work with Sketch-Up (not just the Pro version) right?

            Yes, they all work with both the pro and free versions of sketchup.

              indigo is alot easier to use and you get better results with much less effort IMO. 9 times out of 10 you can get a great render with the click of a button. be propared to wait overnight for the results though.

                  Thanks everyone for the tips. And thanks for the heads up about the rendering time. I thought that only applied to renders for 3D's MAX and Maya.

                    IDX renditioner, Podium, Kerkythea, and the Su2Pov3 plugin (if your OS is Windows based) for Pov-Ray. All have their good, and bad points. It also depends on what you are primarily interested in rendering.

                      Kerkythea and Podium are available for Mac... πŸ˜‰

                        Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I was only referring to the Su2Pov3 system.
