                        Please consider Air, http://www.sitexgraphics.com/ , but also this rather comprehensive listing of Rendering tools and engines http://www.pointzero.nl/renderers/

                          Diego, does "AIR" handle SketchUp files natively, or do you need an exporter as with some of the other rendering applications?

                                  I liked the idea of this being locked w/o all the zillions of posts and notices of updates below. If we do lock it again, feel free to delete this post.

                                      I though the idea was to have a single post at the top with all renderers. As someone wants to add a new one, it gets PM'ed to a Admin who then adds it to the list. Then there would not be a zillion posts like this underneath. Just a nice clean list. It doesn't have to be that way, its just what I was envisioning based on Coen's original post.
