What is your favorite overall rendering engine for SketchUp?
-
I just introduced SketchUp to the design/build firm I started working for recently. They love being able to show clients detailed models of their designs, complete with site info, materials, shadows, etc. I would like to up the ante a bit and begin using a rendering engine and creating fly-through clips that we can send to clients. Since this purchase will be out of pocket for me (I already own SU8 pro), price is a big consideration. From what I have been able to find online, it seems that RenderIn and Podium would be within my price range. Other than price though, I know nothing about these programs. Is one better than the other in quality, features, render time, ease of use, etc? Thanks in advance for any info!

Between RenderIn and Podium : easy of use - the same --> very easy!
Podium has more functions and is more powerful -
Recent Trick i learn from trial and error experience, and may be usefull for you guys.
The only way I have found to work the conversion of Sketchup to Vue is not using the plugin of e-on software, or exporting to obj. Artlantis is the only way i found that work..
Open the sketchup file in Artlantis, export it to obj and import from that file into Vue, work perfectly without it being the classic heavy file or misplaced textures.Who would have thought that Artlantis is the best way to use Vue for sketchup.

Bloom Unit. I work at migenius, who created it but I've never had any cause to use anything else.

Vue is my favorite mainly for it's vegetation tools. Nothing is as incredible as building your own custom Eco-system and then seeing it populate or painting with it.

My favourite render engine is Thetwidium.

Mine is now LumenRT4 Studio. It is by far the fastest with the most accurate lighting and intuitive tools I've tried. Even straight exports without material edit work wonderfully due to it recognizing material names. Animation is incredibly fast with most of my animations at 720P & over 2 minutes long taking less than an hour to render.

I vote for the hammer myself
Anyone using the 1.6 beta want to change their answer to this poll? I see a lot of people mentioning bugs we fixed in this beta when talking about why they don't like V-Ray. Also... we're faster now.

I deserve that! But I do think it should at least be on the list.

I can't say enough good things about vray. Every time I've tried another render engine, I've always founds something or many things lacking in comparison. Now with the new beta, vray for Sketchup is doing its best to break the bounds of SU. Proxies are a thing of beauty

Bloom should be in the list, I don't use it but it's a fine looking system. I don't like pay as you go though.
