V-Ray for SketchUp provides designers with faster rendering, better lighting tools, and the ability to create and visualize complex scenes. This designer-friendly rendering solution for SketchUp features dramatic improvements to visualization workflow, image-based lighting quality, and a designer’s ability to quickly manage complex scenes with highly detailed models.

Easy to learn, easy to use. V-Ray for SketchUp is designed to get you up and running in no time.

V-Ray lets you create the highest quality renders possible – directly in SketchUp.

V-Ray gives you the power to render anything and everything – from quick design models to your most detailed 3D scenes.

Render fast, design faster. V-Ray for SketchUp lets you spend more time being creative and less time waiting.

Focus on design, with a full suite of creative tools for lighting, shading and rendering.

92 of the top 100 architecture firms in the world render with V-Ray every day.

With new Viewport rendering, you can easily select and render multiple regions at once, and quickly blend between your V-Ray render and SketchUp model using +/- hotkeys to control opacity.

Faster, more powerful GPU rendering with added support for aerial perspective, displacement, subsurface scattering, matte/shadows, and more.

V-Ray GPU running on NVIDIA CUDA can take full advantage of all available hardware, including CPUs and GPUs.

For scenes with lots of lights, the new Adaptive Lights mode can help you cut render times by up to 700%.

The entire V-Ray for SketchUp interface is now cleaner and simpler, with better support for 4K monitors.

Manage all of your scene files in one place. Set file paths, create scene archives, and keep track of assets like textures, IES files, and proxy objects.

New color picker that’s simple and powerful. Select color values in Screen sRGB (0–255) or Rendering (0.0–1.0) color space.

Import and render V-Ray scenes (.vrscene) from other applications such as 3ds Max, Rhino, and Revit.
