Description

V-Ray for SketchUp - SketchUp is one of the most widely used and easy to learn 3D Modeling software products on the market today. With V-Ray for SketchUp, users now have one of the most powerful rendering tools available to visualize their models with the utmost quality and realism. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflows. V-Ray for SketchUp works in Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS.  V-Ray for Sketchup supports SU7 or earlier.
