For a bit of fun, I recreated one of these in SketchUp this morning. Came out pretty well.

To install LightUp for older versions of SketchUp without .rbz Extension support, you'll need to:

1. Add ".zip" to the download filename and double click to open it.
2. Drag the file "lightup.rb" and folder "lightup" to your SketchUp Plugins folder.

LightUp supports SketchUp 8,SketchUp 2013, SketchUp 2014, SketchUp 2015, SketchUp 2016

Back in 2010 when LightUp was first launched, SketchUp had no support to install Plugins and Extensions. This meant LightUp had to have its own installer to copy files to the correct locations.

Starting with SketchUp 2015, there is now a built-in Extensions Installer that offers a simple method to install plugins via .rbz files. It lives in Preferences->Extensions->Install Extension

We have started to transition over to using the SketchUp Extensions Installer system for LightUp. Initially it will be for the free 30-day DEMO on WIndows. Website www.light-up.co.uk

Please let us know if you have questions are problems.

THANK YOU!

I've updated the German text with what is suggested.

As you will have seen, we have been updating the website. How is it best to express in German the new English text?

May be better to simply have a single rectangle of glass material behind this material.

The LightUp website has been spruced up for Spring, check it out: https://light-up.co.uk/index.php

Also updated iPad LightUp Player available with improved performance and fixes.
Get it here: https://light-up.co.uk/index.php?t=player

New Android LightUp Player is nearing completion and looking great.

Last but not least, a new version of LightUp for SketchUp released (v4.2e) that has improved realtime Section Planes for Poche effects, and continuous 2-point Perspective mode which is very handy when doing flybys.

FREE to develop, yes. But Its 5% royalties on shipping applications.

LightUp builds atlases internally, so you could export using LightUp using Autodesk Filmbox format (FBX) and choose 'Single Layer' and 'Dynamic Resolution' to get what you want - and you could export the Ambient Occlusion at the same time.

LightUp also has an Editor script for Unity that makes dual layer imports very simple.

Also be aware that many raytracing tutorials use 'time-lapse / fast-forward' to avoid long delays in the video - are you sure it was really 3 seconds of elapsed time?
