      Hi,
      Does anyone have any suggestions for a good quality free plugin render engine to use with sketch up? Any thoughts on Yafaray?

      Who uses any others?

        have a look at indigo

        great quality. decently easy to learn (though you have to at least try to learn it 😉 )

        a free version is available (with output size limits)

          I agree 😄.
          Indigo is still a wonderful quality renderer...and really not that hard to get into.
          Whaat (developer of the SU plugin) did a brilliant job, especially the material presets work easy peasy

            Is yafaray availabe for SU? I thought it was only for Blender. Another suggestion - you could try the free Maxwell plugin.

              Kerkythea is must to look, if you are looking a totally free renderer, no resolution limits. You will need to install both Kerkythea and SU2KT exporter. Most likelly you need to read trough tutorials. Perhaps start with fast-start-4architects.
