Furniture and rendering furniture

[Grant]

I use sketchup exclusively for designing furniture. I need some pointers on more realistic rendering for furniture. Which rendering plugin is best for furniture? Directions to any furniture or woodworking related tutorials or plugins would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Grant,

There are lots of woodworkers around here who will be able to help you out with any design issues related to SU.

As for rendering, there are a whole bunch of external rendering softwares - some more or less integrated into SU, some free, some cost a bit of money, some extremely expensive.

Here is a link to a list of rendering applications.
I myself have only tried out Podium (which is a not expensive, nicely integrated and easy to use renderer) and Kerkythea (which is also integrated, a bit more complex but free renderer) so far.

There are people however with much more experience than me.

Welcome to the forums, by the way...
