Light your scenes using a single high-dynamic-range image (HDRI) of its environment. Render natural and artificial lighting using a wide range of built-in light types.

Render photorealistic rooms and interiors with V-Ray’s powerful and fast global illumination. V-Ray 5 for SketchUp is immediately compatible with the new SketchUp 2020, as well as versions 2017-2019. V-Ray for SketchUp lets you spend more time being creative and less time waiting. Fast & smart production rendering - V-Ray Next is now twice as fast when using V-Ray GPU.

You can also even distribute renders across multiple networked machines with V-Ray Swarm. Power - V-Ray for SketchUp supports CPU, GPU or hybrid rendering, so you can make use of the full power of your hardware. Interoperability - Leverage V-Ray work from other 3D tools such as 3ds Max, SketchUp or Revit for render-ready assets and reusable materials. Quality - V-Ray lets you create the highest quality renders possible – directly in SketchUp. Easy to use - An intuitive interface with simplified render presets backed up by comprehensive documentation, lots of video tutorials and a vibrant support community. Accuracy - Analyzes designs according to their actual lighting and the true reflections and refractions of their materials. Tight integration - A familiar environment closely integrated with SketchUp to ensure users never have to leave the program to set scenes, apply materials or tweak lighting conditions on the fly. In addition, V-Ray provides Academy Award-winning quality and finishing tools that save from needing to use an additional post-processing program. Unlike competitive products, V-Ray can use models from any source (like third party model companies), manage enormous complexity, illuminate with accuracy, and take users images to the highest quality. Preferred by many 3D artists, it is used by 95% of the top AEC firms worldwide and in countless films. V-Ray for SketchUp is an integral rendering solution for SketchUp, enabling designers to experience their designs in real-time as they model and take them to photorealism without leaving SketchUp. With significant workflow optimizations & faster rendering, V-Ray is smarter, faster and more powerful than ever. V-Ray 5 for SketchUp Proof of academic status required.
