        If you want o make your lighting look better you need ot render your scene really. For this you need a render engine like kerkythea or podium

        Another little trick thats a lot faster, but doesnt give as good results, is to reverse the position of the light and dark sliders in the shadow settings.

          IRender has implemented most of the SketchUp lights so that they cast shadows in the scene without your having to specify them as lights and assign wattages to them.

          Just place the light from the SketchUp component and click render.

          SketchUp component rendered as light. (Mirror was added with the IRender mirror wiazard.)

              If LightUp doesn't work, please contact the author. His name is Adam Billyard, and he is an active member of this community. I'm sure he would appreciate the report.
