Simple Lights

Dal1980

Hi Guys

I'm using the barebones Sketchup (free), I'm not really wanting to spend thousands on Sketchup and VRay or other advanced modelling extensions etc as I only use Sketchup for building little home hobby projects.

Can anyone suggest a basic lighting package. I'm really only after lighting up LED bulbs to see the effect.

I'm after free and easy if possible

Many thanks
Dal

You could look at the free version of Twilight Render or maybe keykethera (sp).

Thanks ntxdave, I couldn't find anything when I searched Keykethera (sp) but Twilight Render seems to do the trick - thank you.

Kerkythea is an amazing free renderer to try out too when you have some time to spend-lots to learn.

Thanks for correcting my spelling and providing a link.

You could also take a look at Indigo which can be used free for non-commercial work, renders are then limited to 0.7MP and has the Indigo watermark.
