Illuminating Simulation
-
Hello,
I am quite new to SU and Iโve just finished a model of a room with interior equipment and now I would like to see how different light sources affect the appearance of the room.
My question is which Plug-ins out there are suitable to simulate realistically the effect of certain sources of light?
I would be glad if someone can give me recommendations.

You mean rendering software? There are as many answers as there are people

Some of the popular ones built into SketchUp are V-Ray, Maxwell, LightUp, Thea and others. The price range is broad, and most offer demos/limited versions.
Kerkythea is free though. -
THX for the answer.
