Shaderlight Google SketchUp Plugin Review
Updated: 6/30/2010
The Shaderlight renderer created by Art VPS is a new beta rendering engine for SketchUp and many other 3D design programs. The renderer is actually its own separate program that integrates with SketchUp. Once installed it is automatically picked up by SketchUp.
This product works really well considering it is completely FREE. You can render [...]
IDX Renditioner Google SketchUp Plugin
The IDX Renditioner plugin created by IMSI/Design is an excellent renderer for Google SketchUp. This renderer is very simple to use but also provides you with the advanced options without complicating your model too much. This is one of a few renderers that allows you to use their product completely for free, at limited resolution [...]
Cubic Pano Out Google SketchUp Plugin Review
The Cubic Pano Out plugin created by John Wehby with Smustard.com is a simple plugin to create cubic panoramas with a click of the button. It is a great plugin to create the 3D full visual effect. But you do need another program to bring the images together into a full interactive image. GoCubic is a free solution that does just that. It can be downloaded at Cad-Addict.com.

At the time of this review this plugin is free and is available at SketchUcation.com. I give this plugin 4 out [...]
NprTools Google SketchUp Review
The NprTools plugin created by Render Plus Systems is a plugin that allows you to make non-photo realistic renders. From my experience with the plugin, what is meant by non-photo realistic is renderings that do not focus on bringing about a detailed realistic look. Rather it is meant to add additional features not normally provided [...]
IRender nXt Google SketchUp Review
The nXt Renderer by IRender is a rendering plugin that integrates really well with SketchUp. The learning curve on this plugin is very small and you can start rendering almost immediately after installing the plugin. The render quality is pretty good, but just out of reach of photo realistic rendering, unless I am missing something. [...]

Though in order to work with Kekythea and SketchUp you will need to download the SketchUp plugin from Kerkythea. This allows you to [...]
