About Render[in] for SketchUp
Powered by Artlantis, Render[in] gives SketchUp users the high-definition, realistic renderings they've been looking for, in a powerful, easy-to-use application. Render[in] users can:

• quickly create a high definition rendering with no size limitation;
• use existing SketchUp parameters and add new ones;
• create a photo-realistic project environment (water, sand, grass) and a 3D sky with clouds;
• create artificial light sources;
• see the final result in a real-time radiosity preview window.

Because Render[in] is fully-integrated into SketchUp and uses the same settings, learning how to create high-definition renderings is fast and easy. Once the model is ready, Render[in] brings designs to life, by offering realistic additions like a 3D sky, four types of clouds, and modifiable lighting sources. Render[in] also offers additional texture settings to choose from, like specular reflection and shininess, and auto-bump for materials.
