Maxwell vs IDX Renditioner

Why are you limiting yourself to Maxwell and Renditioner? There's a whole gamma of rendering apps out there - try as many as you can, until you find the one that fits your needs, budget and skills.
Unfortunately, I'm on a Mac. Normally, that's a good thing, but there are precious few renderers that run on it.

OK, I'm impressed. As in my jaw drops. Wow, I had no idea what Sketchup and a good renderer could do.

Hmmm; but I see Kerkythea runs on Mac. I think I'll try that next.

Good choice. I'd stick with it for a while, and learn as much as I can. Kim's excellent "Getting Started" tutorial should get you, er, started.

Have fun!

Also worth seeing if you want other examples of what SketchUp can do when rendering is here:

I always say that solid post-production skills are almost as valuable as fully knowing your engine -- since good post techniques can elevate just about any render.
Whichever way you go I would definitely stick with one of the free render options until you have a good idea of what you really need and want.
Best,

Listen to the man. Or you might end up spending lots of money on an app which, a couple of months down the road, turns out to be a bad choice for you.
Trust me.

Oh, just double-checking -- "Kerkythea 2008 Echo" is the latest version, right?
-
That's right. Kerkythea Echo 2008 is officially the latest version.
There is also Kerkythea Boost version which is still under development.
You can get the Boost version in the forum if you'd like to try the dev version. -

@ Falk are still using SU 6 or have you not updated your profile, just wondering
