Render[in], the first SketchUp renderer with a real-time preview window, had its first official version (v1) released this past December 31st. The interface is quite simple and well designed, and in a short time you can produce interesting images, with several types of lights, bump-mapped textures, plus an infinite ground and an automatic cloud generator. You can also choose the quality and type of radiosity.
SB2, the company that develops the product, is part of the Abvent group, creator of Artlantis, one of the most popular rendering programs for architecture and design, and that's why we believe Render[in] should soon become a widely used renderer on the SketchUp platform.
To download the plugin and use it for free for 30 days, go to http://www.renderin.com and register to receive the download links. You can buy the plugin directly on the site, using PayPal or an international credit card. The price is US$160.00 for SketchUp 7 or 8, Windows or Mac OS. We can say its cost-benefit ratio is excellent, compared to SU Podium (US$180.00) and V-Ray (US$800.00).
NOTE: This post is an update of the original, published on this blog last October.
