Scroll down and locate the SketchUp section.Ĥ. Click on the Downloads tab in the top menu bar.ģ. To download the Raylectron plugin in SketchUp, you must follow these steps listed below:Ģ. The plugin is available for both Windows and Mac versions of SketchUp.

Using Raylectron, you can create high-quality renderings of your SketchUp models that can be used for presentations, marketing materials, or other purposes where realistic visualizations are needed. It also includes a library of materials and textures to apply to your models, as well as the ability to import your own custom textures. Raylectron supports a variety of rendering features, including reflections, refractions, depth of field, motion blur, and more. It uses global illumination algorithms to simulate the way light bounces and interacts with surfaces in the real world, resulting in realistic lighting and shadow effects. Comes in 32 or 64 bits and GPU download.Raylectron is a plugin for SketchUp that allows you to create photo-realistic renderings of your 3D models. Features, can render Stereo Vision, render OBJ files, GPU acceleration, Animation such as FPS style navigation, Physical sun and sky, Grass and Fur, Transparent background, 2 point perspective + more. You can rotate, pan, zoom and modify your materials and lights right from the Raylectron viewer.

You can also stop the render, save it, reopen it later and resume the render. The rendering process happens outside of Sketchup so that you can continue working on your model while the render is going. Raylectron already contain just about all the settings you need to fine tune the output, therefore, no further processing by other software is required. Raylectron support HDR maps and can save the rendered image as an HDR to further process it using an image editor such as Photoshop, you can also save in jpg, png and many other formats. It is also possible to install Raylectron on remote computers (even on the Internet) and use them as slaves. Raylectron utilize all the CPU cores and threads (user selectable) to render as fast as possible. Caustics are also real, not fake or simulated. 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 sun, the sky, environment maps and any materials set as a light source (emitter) with settings for the power and coverage angle.

Depending on the scene being rendered, one can use Raytrace with true shadows, Path tracing with or without direct illumination and Photon mapping. It provide the user with 4 different rendering mode. You can virtually create rendered images of any size. It does not need any editing by other graphic software (such as Photoshop) to produce photorealistic renders. Raylectron is an easy, fast and powerful Sketchup render and animation plugin.
