I’m involved in the development of a new interactive, photorealistic renderer for Google SketchUp called Shaderlight.
Fully integrated in to SketchUp, and SketchUp Pro, Shaderlight lets you see your image “develop” as you work, interactively updating every time a change is made to any SketchUp scene. So whether you’re an experienced user or using SketchUp for the first time, Shaderlight gives you the tools to get to that final image with minimum fuss.
The beta release of Shaderlight for SketchUp is available to download now http://www.shaderlight.com and the full release will be available later this year.
