Check out this stained glass rendering on the SketchUcation forum by d12dozr

Forum Post

"My first attempt...I'm a rendering noob, and I tried IDX Renditioner Express and Podium, but couldn't get the light cast from the window to be colored. This is with IRender nXt. I really like the edge highlighting setting. "

nXtRender Basic

We have created a Beta Test version of a new low-cost, integrated renderer for SketchUp, nXtRender Basic.

Image

Using a simple dialog to set glow and reflection properties for materials, and uses the same nXt rendering engine as our full, pro version, nXtRender Basic produces high quality renderings with a very easy to use user interface and at a fraction of the cost.



Download a copy from: Downloads
(Download the Beta Test version of IRender - nXtRender is contained inside of it)

And let me know what you think.

(Please try to be kind. I suspect the first few people to try to download might have a problem. If so, let me know and we will try to fix it up)
