About to buy SU but need help with rendering software please

I am about to buy SU25 and set it up on mac mini Sequoia. I perviously used twilight to render which I understand is discontinued. I would like to use Vray but its lots of money for the occasional full rendering I do, are any of you finding a better more cost effective renderers?

Thanks in advance

Sam

What kind of modeling do you do? What kind of renders do you need? With SketchUp 2025 maybe you don’t need a renderer at all.

D5 and Twinmotion are free as long as you fit their requirements

Basic spaces for retail which might include clothing rails and product on shelves so not giant files, also for events tables and stages backdrops etc not lots of modelling.
Thanks

check twinmotion (can’t speak for D5, haven’t tried it).
It’s fairly simple to learn, follow a couple of step-by-step tutorials and you’ll have seen the core of it.
and it comes with tons of preset (and downloadable) generic models to populate your project.

Many Thanks guys thats really helpful will look into them !
