Solo,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Impressive portfolio.

I use Mac OS X 10.5.4 or alternatively I have an older version of 10.3.9 on my PowerBook.

Being an architecture student I create my buildings in SU the drop them into Photoshop to montage the context in.

I'm not looking for anything spectacular at the moment until I grab the basics of rendering packages, just something to take the SU cartoonish appearance, as I see it, away from my models.

Thanks again,

Stew

Hello,

I'm Stew, and architecture student, who has a reasonable understanding of modelling in SketchUp. The only problem I have is exporting my models.

I am not 100% convinced with the finish when exporting from purely SketchUp, so I seek advice and guidance of a suitable render package to use.

I have never used any rendering packages in the past so don't know what to look for. I've read up on Modo, Cheetah3D, Studio Max etc but have no idea on the easiest and best for my needs.

Any guidance/advice on this matter would be much appreciated.

SketchUp is such an important tool during my design work, so would like to make more use of the programme, but present it in a more professional manner.

Kind Regards,

Stewart
