      Hi my name is Toman Kubik and I'm young architect.
      I have a new mate in office who introduced me to Sketchup. I'm Cinema 4D user for about 7 years. I decided to corssplatform upgrade, mainly because I expect that college will do the visualisation work and I can do the concepts and meetings with clients.
      My problem-question is:
      1, is it worth to go fof Pro SU vs.free SU? I will not use Layout, I will not use Style builder. I only miss the dwg/dwxf inport a bit.

      2.which render is worth to buy? Ihave been using Advanced render form Cinema for some years but I see that results are not enough for me in case of quality. My top spot is Vray for sketchup. But it seems to me like there are big differences in final pictures between vray for 3ds and vray for sketchup? are there any limitation in vray for SU? is there any render wort to think of?

      Thank you very much for any advice. Kind regards
      PS sorry for my english

        If you don't use the added extra that come with Pro then you've answered your own query. But I do think it merits purchasing from the point if view that the day you need those features you'll tear your hair out.

        As for rendering choice, this seems to grow everyday and everyone has an opinion. It will boil sown to cost and your user level. My recommendation would be Thea Render as it's cross platform, 64bit and very very very good. But that's just me. If it's some integrated into SU I would suggest TwiLight.
