Gelato rendering software allows anyone with an NVIDIA GPU to create stunning images fast. A hardware-accelerated, non-real-time renderer, Gelato was originally designed for the creation of 3D visual effects and animation in feature films. But Gelato is a powerful tool for any number of industries, including film & broadcast, CAD, architecture, and print.Page Not Found | NVIDIA

Jim, how do you use that?

Nothing like writing code to get a quick a rendering!

Our fellow SCF member (and occasionally my boss) Diego Matho likes this better:

A little more user-friendly, but it is essentially a shader designer. With a that node-based graphical scripting that I think, along with Diego, might be the real future of coding, although you could I guess resort to Python scripting.
Between Gelato and Fx Composer, you can finally come up with that dream renderer for SU you've always wanted. Assuming you have A LOT of time on your hands.

It's specifically made to take advantage of nvidia hardware. I guess it's geared towards Maya and Max, as plugins are provided for these applications. But that also means a SketchUp plugin is a possibility.
As Lewis says, it's probably not practical to use with SketchUp at this time.
