      Hello,

      I am quite new to SU and I’ve just finished a model of a room with interior equipment and now I would like to see how different light sources affect the appearance of the room.

      My question is which Plug-ins out there are suitable to simulate realistically the effect of certain sources of light?

      I would be glad if someone can give me recommendations.

        You mean rendering software? There are as many answers as there are people 😄
        Some of the popular ones built into SketchUp are V-Ray, Maxwell, LightUp, Thea and others. The price range is broad, and most offer demos/limited versions.
        Kerkythea is free though.
