    Hi all. I'm after some recommendations for rendering software for SketchUp that INCLUDE the ability to create fully rendered flythroughs as well. I've seen Lumion in action and it's impressive but have a problem with the graphics card in my work laptop for that software. Can anyone recommend any other software I could look at? Thx.

        Thx Pilou. My graphic card is actually an Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M (more of a 'cad' type card) whereas Lumion needs a better 'gaming' card like an NVidia 460GTX / ATI 5850 or faster. Will look at those others you listed. As I mentioned we really need that extra option of saving mini-movies out of the fly-thru's. Cheers.

          Lumion is awesome, and the pro for the pro version is pretty expensive, so if you were willing to use Lumion (and pay for it) a suitable GPU would be less than 10% of it's price.

          Now if the work you intend to do is work related for a client and lumion is the right tool then I say you should seriously consider the business investment.

          I'd also dump the laptop for a more robust desktop however.

            We use Twilight Render on its own or with Kerkythea. It isn't the quickest on our work PC's, but is reliable & gives.results that impresses the clients.

              Thea render also can do flythroughs with thea4su and a plugin. It's fast too.
