V-Ray for SketchUp

V-Ray for Sketch-Up offers visualisation professionals a state-of-the-art solution that generates high-quality images of unparalleled realism.

Render Options are now easier than ever, with Default Render settings reflecting correct
settings for Indirect Illumination, the V-Ray Sun, V-Ray Sky, and Sampling levels.

V-Ray offers Sketch-Up users a robust set of global illumination and ray-tracing features that enable them to bring their ideas to life quickly, easily, and cost-effectively.

Features Include:

• True raytraced reflections and refractions
• Glossy reflections and refractions
• Area shadows (soft shadows). Includes box
• and sphere emitters
• Indirect Illumination (global illumination,
• global lighting). Different approaches include
• direct computation (brute force), and
• irradiance maps.
