          Nice image but very grainy - is that the look you are after? Concrete is a bit too white in colour for me too.

          When you burn your arse - you gotta sit on the blisters!!

            Dermotcoll,
            Render is grainy because I did a 15 minute test render on an old laptop.
            Im trying to get my materials settings. The white is a plastic material.
            I want to get materials ready before i render scenes with more objects.
            Grass looks to saturated.

              Here is another render and also grainy because of low render time.
              This one was done also with Luxrender months ago.

                    Majid,
                    There is a ruby script to export your SketchUp Model to Luxrender and the
                    name is SU2LUX (SketchUp Exporter).
                    http://www.luxrender.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=35

                    I use that method and another from SU to blender with script called:
                    lwo_export.rb

                    One helps the other.

                          Hi, cool renders, I have seen some very nice shots on the Luxrender website. Is it a free application ?
