civil engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It includes
tools to create 3D models of just about anything and you can add details, textures,

Shaderlight for SketchUp
Shaderlight is a brand new plug-in renderer for Google SketchUp. It’s so intuitive that anyone using SketchUp to model can render great images right out of the box.
It's quite different to the other tools out there; as soon as you hit render, your image appears, but it also keeps updating as you work on your SketchUp model - so it's easy to see where you're going wrong (or right!).
What makes Shaderlight different?
- Easy to use: Shaderlight’s close integration to Google SketchUp will make you feel right at home – render directly from your SketchUp toolbar – there’s no need to import your model first.
- Photorealistic effects: Add lighting, mirror shine and textures to your 3d model with simple presets and adjustable settings.
- Progressive rendering: As soon as you render to Shaderlight, you’ll see your image appear then watch as the detail refines to a finished render.
- Real world images: Show your 3D model in its real-life setting using image based lighting and a background image.
