      two more
      LuxRender http://www.luxrender.net/
      There is an Su2Lux plugin, and some users in these forums.

      Mitsuba http://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/
      uses DAE Collada format, but very much beta, and no recent updates.

      All have relatively steep learning curves, though.

                 There ARE no  F R E E rendering plugins for Sketchup.  The prices start at $150 on up to $1000.   Out of curiosity, I checked myself.  Sorry to bust your bubble.

                Twilight Render v2 Hobby is now a fully featured free product, with a inexpensive upgrade to the full Pro version. Well worth trying.

                            Kris, your list has Maxwell at $775. That is for the full suite. The standalone engine\plugin for SU is $99. Might want to list them both. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                No problem. I have the $99 version and it's a damn good, low cost option that can good work with a bit of set up.
