I won't be going with SUPodium, while I had the very original first release, it's just not perfect way too slow.
Try the latest version. I am confident you'll be surprised.

With Vray, everything is done inside SU. You can even render with 64bit without leaving SU.
Sounds and looks great, but $835.00 is way, way too much to spend.

Mitsuba it's free !

Mitsuba looks interesting.
But it looks a little crude yet.Fake Grass via Motion Blur is a cool and creative solution, but I remain a little unconvinced.
Do you know of any large renderings of outdoor architectural scenes where I can see the results? -
I don't do any paid renders and I'm not very good at it... But I can tell you which one I've been wanting. Thea Presto.

Sure, but you have to export the model.
That's exactly the step i'm looking to omit. -
Are any of them truly, actually inside sketchup? What's the problem with exporting? are you on freemake?

Kris - is Presto inside SU - as opposed to Thea which has that studio thing? Or does Presto have to export to a studio as well? I am assuming jman0war is referring to a manual export process - where it's possible to make changes in an external studio that are not necessarily transferred back to SU.
Edit: I see Pete has answered...
-
Yeah, I'm talking about Thea Presto, not Thea standalone.

That's exactly the step i'm looking to omit.The exporting mentioned on the Thea for Sketchup page is simply an option to export to Thea Studio.
There is no need to export and you can use Thea without leaving Sketchup - just as you can with Vray, Twighlight or the other integrated rendering software.

Really?
I did not pick up on that when I browsed their website.
The renders look great. -

The problem with exporting is that I get people looking at a render and then wanting additional changes.
Changes that require going back into Sketchup and then having to re-export.So a solution whereby I can do it all in SU would be best for me.

-
One big up for Thea for Sketchup is it does animation and sections.
-
Wow!
It reminds me of Vue in certain ways.They're placing 3D trees in SU and it's showing the render window in real-time.
What Thea product is that?
