The SketchUp Show #58: Create Photoreal Renderings with the IDX Renditioner Plugin
In part two of this three part series, Mike teaches how to use the IDX Renditioner plugin for Google SketchUp to create realistic renderings of the daylighting impact of adding skylights to your design. If you're wondering how to get more realistic lighting into SketchUp, you've come to the right video. In this lesson, we demonstrate how to download and install a free version of the IDX Renditioner SketchUp plugin. We also have provided a free sample SketchUp house for download on the Google 3D Warehouse, and we show you how to navigate through the model to practice using the IDX plugin. Next, Mike helps you set up the IDX plugin to understand the materials in your 3D model and the lighting conditions outside of the model. And viola! A click of the render button gives you a beautiful photorealistic rendering of what the attic will look like with skylights installed.

RE: The SketchUp Show #58: Create Photoreal Renderings with the IDX Renditioner Plugin
As usual.. Good tutorial, thanks. I thought as a test I would try sketching up my apartment and then try rendering it to see how closely the rendering would match reality. Unfortunately, it wasn't even close. I found that in the rendering the natural light did not penetrate into the space nearly as deep as reality. Could you post an actual picture of the room you render? Perhaps I'm being to particular. Or do you have any thoughts on variables I should play with to try and get the light deeper into the space. Thanks in advance, Mike PS Great Site!
