        How it's done? You're spoilt for choice really! There are plugins for SketchUp like Twilight, Podium, Render-In, Shader-Light......Or there are studios like Kerkythea, Thea..... Either method basically takes your instructions for assigning values to materials to create real world reactions to light.

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

          Here is another link from the SketchUp Sage site with some rendering information:

          Rendering Features

          This explains a number of rendering features, such as: Anti-aliasing, Bump Mapping, Depth of Field, Edge Highlighting, Fog, Glow, Morphing, Motion Blur, Non-Photorealistic Rendering, Radiosity, Reflection, Refraction, Shading, Shadows, Soft Shadows, Texture Mapping, Translucency, Transparency — sharp transmission of light through solid objects.

          SketchUp model rendered in SketchUp using OpenGL - include lighting and shadows from the sun.

          https://docs.google.com/File?id=dd3gmtxm_698gbd33xcz_b

          Same model rendered with an add-on rendering package. Demonstrates reflection, and shadows from lights.
