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.

With Shaderlight for SketchUp it's never been easier to render great images from your SketchUp model so download your copy from October 5th!
