Google SketchUp Pro 6
Google SketchUp is the award-winning program that delivers a completely new way to design in 3D.
Google SketchUp is a deceptively simple, amazingly powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily. Google SketchUp was developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today’s digital media.
Developed for the conceptual stages of design, this powerful yet easy-to-learn software allows for quick and easy 3D form creation, the result is an interface that supports a dynamic, creative exploration of 3D form, material and light.
With Google SketchUp Pro 6’s LayOut (beta) feature, you can integrate 3D models with 2D elements like photographs, artwork, text, title blocks – even handwritten notes – to create compelling interactive presentations. LayOut (beta) also enables you to output large-format, high-resolution documents. In a single program, Google SketchUp Pro 6 combines high-quality 2D design tools with the ability to manipulate dimensionally accurate 3D models with CAD-like precision and scale.
New Features
Google SketchUp Pro 6 lets you create 3D models from photographs, match existing models to background photos, render sketchy effects and fog and mark your models with 3D text, logos and watermarks. With the new styles palette, you have easy access to a collection of display settings, which you can save and share. You also have greater control, with new features like enhanced modifier keys that let you perform operations like “copy†while you move, rotate or push/pull. If you use Google Earth, Google SketchUp allows you to place your models using real-world coordinates and share them with the world using the 3D Warehouse.

V-Ray for SketchUp 6
ASGVIS has released V-Ray for Sketch-Up. This release brings users various performance enhancements, an out of the box rendering solution, and many great V-Ray features to Sketch-Up.V-Ray is a rendering plug-in that enables Sketch-Up users to take advantage of the power and speed of the Chaos Group’s V-Ray rendering solution.
With V-Ray for Sketch-Up, ASGVIS offers visualization professionals a state-of-the-art solution that generates high-quality images of unparalleled realism. “Top studios in all disciplines have relied on V-Ray for years to generate photorealistic images of outstanding quality,” says Corey Rubadue, ASGVIS Director. “With V-Ray for Sketch-Up, we’re bringing this powerful, flexible, and affordable rendering solution to Sketch-Up users, enabling them to take full advantage of all that V-Ray has to offer.”
Render Options are now easier than ever, with Default Render settings reflecting correct settings for Indirect Illumination, the V-Ray Sun, V-Ray Sky, and Sampling levels.
V-Ray offers Sketch-Up users a robust set of global illumination and ray-tracing features that enable them to bring their ideas to life quickly, easily, and cost-effectively.
FEATURES INCLUDE
*True raytraced reflections and refractions
*Glossy reflections and refractions
*Area shadows (soft shadows). Includes box and sphere emitters
*Indirect Illumination (global illumination, global lighting). Different approaches include direct computation (brute force), and irradiance maps.
*Depth-Of-Field camera effect.
*Antialiasing. Includes fixed, simple 2-level and adaptive approaches.
*Caustics
*Fully multithreaded raytracing engine
*True HDRI support. Includes support of proper texture coordinate handling for both cubic and angular maps. Map your images directly without distortions or cropping.
*Reusable irradiance maps (save and load support). Incremental sampling for fly-through animations.
*V-Ray Material Editor with Material Preview
*V-Ray Sun and Sky
*V-Ray Physical Camera
*Displacement
*Distributed Rendering allowing a single image to be process over up to 10 machines
Per Material GI, Background, Reflection, and Refraction
*V-Ray Two-Sided Material for easy creation of thin translucency
*Animation Support
