Pixero, the lighting you are seeing in the videos is 100% real-time. There is still the option to bake the lighting for even better quality.
In terms of pricing, if you get LumenRT 4 today with maintenance, you will get LumenRT 2015 free.

Hi Jay,

Sorry I missed your post. I'm not sure I understand your problem with the underwater lights, but the answer to your question about visible lights is to turn on the light flares in the scene settings.

Are you able to export simple scenes?
Do you have any other plug-ins that might be conflicting with LumenRT?

You don't need the Publisher to export stills or animations. If you right/long click on the Play movie icon, this brings up the export movie icon. It's also on the Timeline bar.

Deal!

Send me a PM with your e-mail, and I'll have someone prepare a copy for you.

You're a smart businessman

dtrarch, can you provide the scene? We haven't found any scenes that crash SketchUp once the Fast export option is disabled.
Thanks!

No sale here I am afraid.

No problem!

So, where does it crash? Inside of SketchUp, or is it inside of the LumenRT real-time playback? Your video board should work just fine.

Thanks for getting back.

dtarch, did you try disabling the Fast Export option?
Can you tell us what your GPU is (video board)? It's not listed in your system specs above.
Thanks!

dtarch, sorry to hear that. Not sure what size your scenes are, but if they're large, did you try disabling the Fast Export option?
If it crashed in SketchUp, then that option should fix it (you should have had a popup informing you of this fact).
If it's GPU, please detail your GPU.
Also, can you provide one of your scenes so we can see what is going on? Thanks.

A nice video of a beautiful property created with LumenRT 3:
