      You are right to have voted yes as you do render, regardless of it being for a living or hobby.

        I'm still wearing the rookie badge and having decided to learn how for pleasure rather than business

        But it will be introduced to the business (Aviation) as soon as i'm conifident with rendering

        Roll on 2014

          Not yet. Probably never.
          Simple sketch figures work best for me, often as overlays with Photomatch.
          I use SU a lot, but mostly for geo-location with Google Earth and overlaying golf course architect grading plans.

            I render, but only as a means to get reflections, the effects of bouncing light, and bumps in order to improve on Su's output. However I have seen unrendered Su presentations that are better then my rendered ones.

              Yes but without any regulates: default parameters is sufficient just for a basic neat image ๐Ÿ˜„
              Elaborated render is tricky specialist's matter ๐Ÿ˜‰

                i always render.
                Haven't had one single project that the client didn't wanted render (or wihtout last minute changes...lol). They also, normally, don't know sketchup or most of the software so they don't care where it's done or how the basic output of each software is.
                But i don't work exclusivly in archviz (con't know if that matter's)

                  Yes ! Now that the whole model can be lit fast, at quite an acceptable quality, I always trigger LightUp ! โ˜€

                      Yes but mostly to define specific details more clearly. Overall I prefer to just do a nice SU drawing, often with minimal texturing. Mostly I'm trying to show the overall feeling and intent, spatial relationships etc. I have found all together to often that to much detail is often very distracting for my clients. As we proceed we will hand pick veneers and hardwoods to suit the specific customer.

                          Solidseal, some free options for you:

                          Renditioner Express Free by IMSI Design is, well, free, with a limit of 640x480 (enough for posting in forums). Really simple to use and a good starting point if you're totally new to rendering and don't want to invest any money yet, in my humble opinion:

                          Kerkythea is freeware without any limits, and also quite popular here:

                          Indigo can be used freely for non-commercial puposes, with an image size limit of 0.7 MP (For example, 1000x700) and an "Indigo" logo stamped on all your renders:
