Raylectron v4 is available for free evaluation.

It works entirely inside Sketchup, and the rendering process free Sketchup so you can continue working on your model.* GPU Acceleration.

Instancing of components and groups allow you to duplicate any component or group without increasing the poly count and memory usage.

Support HDR maps and can save the rendered image as an HDR, it can also save in jpg, png and many other formats.

Save as transparent background so you can use the images on any background you like, including on web sites.

The sun, the sky, environment maps and any materials set as a light source (emitter) with settings for the power and coverage angle.

Start/Stop lets you fine-tune your lights/materials and camera position.

Ability to create Grass & Fur, such as landscape, hay, carpet, hair, fabric such as sofa, chairs, and so on, any texture with a fur/thread like material.

Raylectron utilize all the CPU cores and threads (user selectable) to render as fast as possible and new GPU version available. Caustics are also real, not fake or simulated.Ĭreate your own animation which give you a hands-free tour of a model. Its that simple You can set how to illuminate your model, lights, sun, sky, ambient occlusion, environment map etc.

Simply select a material and apply some effects to it, or make it a light. Shadows are not fake or simulated like 'Soft shadows'. Raylectron has the ability to easily render 3D models made in Google Sketchup into a photo-realistic image. Any materials can produce different effects, such as reflection (like mirror), refraction (like glass), transparency, glossiness, shininess, bump maps, normal maps and background images. The material editor is simple, yet powerful.
