By contrast, SU Podium is faster, has very few parameters need to adjust. But the products it renders are more realistic, comes with stronger material effects. V-Ray is complicated, you have to adjust many parameters.

That’s to say, there is no need to study any complex rendering techniques.

In short, anyone who is familiar with SketchUp modelling will find that SU Podium is extremely easy to use and efficient. Again, it also uses the function of SketchUp, including the surface, texture, view, background, shadow, etc. It takes SU’s consistent simple UI (that only takes a few minutes to completely master it) with two major options for decision on the light and reflection values of each surface and totally runs within SketchUp from start to finish. SU Podium is perfectly integrated into SketchUp. With it, you can create beautiful and high-fidelity SketchUp model rendering effect, without painful learning of complex rendering process. SU Podium is a vast, intuitive and easy-to-use photo-realistic rendering plugin for Google’s SketchUp, which can achieve impressive photo-like image effects.
