Best free render?
-
Kerkythea is wonderful and I guess my tutorial ( KT fast start 4 architects ) may help you.
BTW twilight render (not free but reasonable price ) is also nice and you may render, fully functioning with it, just watermark.
another choice also is maxwell render.
Both KT and Maxwell are nice, but a bit complicated, while Twilight is easy to learn IMO. -
The best free engine is Kerkythea because it is truly open source and has no limitations. I would recommend playing with Maxwell if you don't need to render high resolution images. Having your engine stay withing SketchUp is very useful and is a time saver.

Have to correct the "open source" part. kerkythea is free, but no open source. But there are some open source renderers (or actually GPL), if really needed; Cycles (Blender), Lux render and Mitsuba are maybe best know. Kerkythea been proven to work, so it still maybe a fine option.

What about indigo?

Or does something else get the best results?
Results are very close between all renderers!

Blender Cycles...
And soon it will be standalone so you will be able to render to Cycles from SketchUp if someone writes a plugin

I'd go for Kerky as well. Free, there's tutorials available (some even explicitly aimed at SU users), and they have ready-made materials to dissect as well.

I also prefer Kerkythea

For me Kerkethea is Best..... because it so easy and provide better results.
But
I need some experts support for the exterior rendering while i do stone jali and stone art wall, as i belongs to jodhpur where every next home made with stone art .. but kerkethea didn't provide me the depth of that art
