    Hey Guys,

    I was just wondering if anyone could give me a detailed run-down on how to use the free program Blender to render a SketchUp model. Honestly I am pretty lost so any information about the pipeline of programs you use or your process as a whole would be awesome. Thanks in advance, and do have a great day.

      take a look at Sketchucation magazine or just do a search over forums, esp corner bar

        Yes, there are lots of good blender tutorials out there. In terms of specifically getting a Sketchup model into Blender, I would suggest using TIG's obj exporter plugin in Sketchup to save your model file into an obj format that will import nicely into Blender.
