      Bloom Unit. I work at migenius, who created it but I've never had any cause to use anything else.

        Vue is my favorite mainly for it's vegetation tools. Nothing is as incredible as building your own custom Eco-system and then seeing it populate or painting with it.

                Mine is now LumenRT4 Studio. It is by far the fastest with the most accurate lighting and intuitive tools I've tried. Even straight exports without material edit work wonderfully due to it recognizing material names. Animation is incredibly fast with most of my animations at 720P & over 2 minutes long taking less than an hour to render.

                  I vote for the hammer myself πŸ˜‰

                  Anyone using the 1.6 beta want to change their answer to this poll? I see a lot of people mentioning bugs we fixed in this beta when talking about why they don't like V-Ray. Also... we're faster now.

                    I deserve that! But I do think it should at least be on the list.

                      I can't say enough good things about vray. Every time I've tried another render engine, I've always founds something or many things lacking in comparison. Now with the new beta, vray for Sketchup is doing its best to break the bounds of SU. Proxies are a thing of beauty πŸ˜„

                        Bloom should be in the list, I don't use it but it's a fine looking system. I don't like pay as you go though.
