Good top quality Renderers for Sketchup

Rafferty94

Hi all, Please remove this if this has been answered before.

I am looking for a good renderer for sketchup, Currently using Brighter3D. It's good but kind of basic.

So I'm asking for all your opinions on what to get?

Plug-ins and external Render Engines are welcome.

Did a quick search on here and I don't think I found anything asking this

Google is pretty outdated with most links up to 2011..

Thanks for any response guys!

What's your budget?

Boy, if I had a £ for each time this has been asked!
As Rich is implying, you pays your money and takes your choice.
Often more money does mean more complexity, and thus a steeper learning curve.
I'm with vray and have been for a long time. Its fast and effective, and now, at last has some presets (the equivalent of the 'Auto' button on a camera).
There are as many opinions on what is best as there are products to choose from.
What would be interesting is a scientific approach to assessing which is best, using some sort of assessment matrix - maybe someone has already done one?
