Yes, its LightUp using realtime sun with AO. Collision + Gravity enabled to stop walking through walls.

This is pretty awesome stuff.

Looks great Adam

Captured on a Macbook using decent screencast software (ScreenFlow) gives a much better sense of the smoothness.

Nice!
There seem to be a problem with the sunposition in the shown sperical panorama, the sky should be rotated 180° I think...

fantastic, fast panorama production.

olishea

wow thats incredible!!!

pilou

Middle age revival!

jo-ke

Wow, this is really fast. I also like the realtime rendering inside SU!

Bryan K

Wow, that is incredible!

Aw man, how do you get the specular, detailed shadows and otherwise photorealistic lighting in sketchup? not that my system could ever handle it, but it's still a cool looking set of features

Thank you Adam, tThis is amazing. Could you please post the specs of the MacBook this walkthrough was taken on.

LightUp works on a very wide range of PC / graphics cards. You don't need a "Beast" to get it to run.

That was recorded using a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz

Thank you Adam,

I was not questioning LightUp requirements, I was mainly amazed how smooth your movement around the model was.

I think there maybe something wrong with my system. I can't navigate the model this smoothly even without LightUp and with all plugins disabled. Every time I move all textures disappear until I stop.

Here are my specs:

3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
OS X 10.9.3

Never really considered LightUP before but that was seriously impressive!
Think I'll have to take a closer look at it.

Magic is to have the complete model in render real time after a little calculate!

Yes, in regular SketchUp my laptop struggles and switches to wireframe etc, but in LightUp its fine.
Your system specs look fine.

Funny is to put any color lights and move after all the model in any positions from any pivot!

Very interesting. This just shows SketchUp's inability to take advantage of current hardware and highlights its lag in performance when compared to other software.
