Raylectron : the new member of the SketchUp plugin family



                Raylectron is one of the most powerful Google Sketchup render plugin which will change the 3D design into a realistic image very fast and easily.

In 3D graphic software industry, Google SketchUp, the 3D design software is one of the most popular and fast growing 3D graphic software. Professional artist and other interested people in this field who designed 3D models in Google Sketchup graphic software, wishes to turn their creativity into photorealism presentation. Now they have a real opportunity to use Raylectron. It has the ability to easily render 3D models made in Google Sketchup into a photo realistic image.

There are four different kinds of rendering mode in Raylectron. It is very easy to use. Depending on the scene being rendered, one can use ray-tracing with true shadows, path-tracing with/without direct illumination and photon-mapping, and each creating a unique effect. There are also four types of light-sources namely the sky, the sun, environment map & other light source of materials set with settings for the power and coverage angle, which can produce different effects, such as reflection (mirror, water), refraction (glass), transparency, shininess, glossiness normal maps, bump maps and background images. Raylectron utilize all the CPU cores and threads to render as fast as possible and it can also use slaves by installing Raylectron on remote computers further increasing the rendering speed.

Some important features are:
·         Ability to stop the render, save it, reopen it later and resume the render.
·         Rotate, pan, zoom, and modify the materials and lights right from the Raylectron viewer.
·         Support HDR maps, save the rendered image as an HDR, in jpg, in png and many other formats.
·         No need to remove walls to see the interior render.
·         Simply use the X-Ray vision.
·         Render Stereo Vision and Render OBJ files.
·         All rendering processes happen outside of Sketchup in order to allow continuous work on the model being rendered.
