hello there, this forum has a lot of information on this topic... I think the most recent thread was this one: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=27476 my recommendation would be Twilight render. It is implemented into SU, has a lot of features that the "big" renderers have, yet easy to use and VERY affordable. Good luck! (would be nice to see your decision posted here) alex

@aesthete.design said: Hi, Just wanted to introduce ourselves. We are Aesthete Designs, LLC. We are a young and vibrant interior design working with residential clients in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. We came across the site while searching for Artlantis Studio 3 reviews/complaints. We are not "new" to SketchUp as we have had it installed for awhile; however, we have not yet played with it and need to go through the tutorials and such. Looks like this site has a lot of great information and we look forward to browsing around as we start to use SketchUp more often. Thanks Welcome to the forum from a fellow Hoosier (Crown Point). You will not regret stumbling on to this group. By all means play with SU and although it is a very intuitive program, the tutorials are great for getting a fast start. Forum topic areas are also a great way to pick up and offer info when your ready. Browse the Gallery too, it is a good way to see how the program is used over many different professions, trades and purely artistic endevors. Again, welcome and look forward to seeing you somewhere in the forum Jim
