Recommendations for product rendering?

I've been trying out Thea for a couple of days and been happy with it so far. It's a lot of program for the price and the interface is good. It has most of the major features of a high end renderer with similar results. Not super speedy though.
The speed depends on a lot of different factors, such as lighting, render method (plus settings)and material complexity etc.
I don't have a particularly high spec PC, but when I work on product-viz projects with Thea I regularly get clean unbiased results in 20 minutes and good quality biased renders in 5 minutes or less.

i'd say thea is pretty damn fast!!

That was my point

V-Ray for SketchUp 1.6 Beta just started up recently
... RT is pretty fast. -

Seems you like it...
That would be an affirmative. Keyframe is so much more powerful than I expected.
As far as Thea goes, I guess I don't really know what is considered to be fast when dealing with renderings for Sketchup, but with the low polygon counts that are typical in my Sketchup models, a rendering in any typical animation program might take a minute or two at most for a good biased rendering. But I do understand that animation programs are in a whole different class and price point.

Oh I know, I was just responding to xiombarg and confirming your findings.

You could try Thea Presto GPU engine when it will be available publicly.

The Rolex and diamond ring animations look excellent. I haven't committed myself to anything yet so Thea Presto GPU looks like a really good option.

The Thea HDRI pack sounds like an awesome addition for product rendering. The HDRI pack combined with the Presto GPU and all combined with a very reasonable price point, Thea seems to be the best rendering software for your dollar available.
