Shaderlight

Shaderlight for SketchUp

Shaderlight is an interactive, photorealistic renderer that’s quite different to the other tools out there.  As soon as you hit render, your image appears and keeps updating as you work inside SketchUp - bringing your images to life in a few simple clicks. 

If you're using SketchUp 7 or above, why not download the FREE beta software and start rendering.  With the Shaderlight beta, you'll be the first to experience our unique rendering process. Shaderlight is actively developed and a full version of the software is due later this year, with many more features to be added.

What makes Shaderlight different?

• Easy to use: Our close integration to Google SketchUp will make you feel right at home – render directly from your SketchUp toolbar – there’s no need to import your model first.
• Photorealistic effects: Add lighting, mirror shine and textures to your 3d model with simple presets and adjustable settings.
• Progressive rendering: As soon as you render to Shaderlight, you’ll see your image appear then watch as the detail refines to a finished render.
• Real world images: Show your 3d model in its real-life setting using image based lighting and a background image.
