I quickly tried it at work. The Geforce 9800 GT I have installed was too slow to make it useful.
Also, panning/zooming/orbiting is not fast enough for now and the fact that it relies on .obj exports from Sketchup makes it somewhat limited (it doesn't hold SU cameras etc...)
Let's hope a direct SU plugin will follow in later beta's.I do think that GPU rendering will have a nice future.
A pitty that Asgvis is way behind with implementing Vray RT for Sketchup. A shame actually...Then take alook here;

..but that link refers to Vray RT for Max, not VrayforSU by Asgvis
Asgvis is still using an old Vray engine for its Sketchup bridge

Thanks Khai!!
.....but.......that's a UV exporter....I want to convert my .skp model to an .obj file.erm. it exports the file as a OBJ file for the UVmapper to read........

here's a side effect I never thought of. found by a user over at Rendo..
he's rendering in Octane and Poser 8... at the same time. Poser's unaffected and he's getting 6fp's out of Octane....
the fact you have one on the CPU and one on the GPU.. there's a whole avenue of render machines that can render 2 different projects at the same time opening up!

So what are the commersial alternatives for obj exports? A far from Su proexporters, that is. They never work for me.
Ive tried Okino, and that one work nicely. A tad expensive just for conversion. But still really good. -
Hi guys!
I can't find the SketchY-2-Octane is!I found this http://vimeo.com/13075558 : so it must exists
Is it sort of a PRO feature? I only downloaded the demo..

You can find this one at the registered area of the octane forum page. It was written by TIG

Octane demo users can't get the exporters...
You need to be a 'licensed member' to get access to special parts of the Octane web-site to be able to download the various exporters and other goodies - and that includes the Sketchup Octane Render Exporter that I wrote for them last year [(c) Refractive Software]. It was recently updated to overcome a sudden and unexpected glitch with the new version of web-browser caused by Safari in the latest MAC OS, but it now works the same way on PC and MAC as it did before
