I’ve contacted SketchUp about trying to download Twilight plugin into SketchUp pro 2024. Since it’s not in their extensions they don’t want to allow the download. They told me to come here and someone could help me with getting download. Can someone help me? ---

You are probably better asking on the twilight render forums > **[Twilight Render Plugin for SketchUp](https://www.twilightrender.com/)** > > Twilight Render, photorealistic 3D rendering system for SketchUp 2024 is not listed as supported - probably because the company has stopped selling the software now and it’s all coming to an end. Its twilight years you might say ---

I know they are no longer selling their software but they did send me a link to an updated 2024 version for pro. I’m just trying to bypass sketchup’s resistance to install it and I’m not that computer savvy. That’s why sketchup sent me here to find someone who is. ---

(I know some people try to drag the file in SU, not the proper install) in the extension manager, if you click on the cog wheel top right, can you confirm that “all extensions” is picked (the third choice) ? that would prevent you from installing stuff from outside of the warehouse, could fix it. do you get an error message when you try to install ? is it listed in the extension list ? ---

> [@chammock](#): > > I’m just trying to bypass sketchup’s resistance to install it and I’m not that computer savvy. SketchUp is **not** resisting your installing **Twilight Render Pro 2024** because it is a standalone executable installer. (Ie, it does **not** use SketchUp’s Extension Manager to install.) Just go here: [2024 and the Twilight Render Sunset (post 2) - Twilight Render User Forum](https://www.twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=12925#p58165) … download the (Windows only) installer and run it with SketchUp closed. **Note** : It will only work for SketchUp 2024 (using Ruby 3.2) and will not work for older SketchUp versions. ---

Dan: Thank you for your reply. I’m not computer savvy in the least. I’ve clicked on that link before and it won’t load up. Do I need to right click on it and send it somewhere? If it wouldn’t be asking too much, could you give me step by step instructions? Thanks! ---

> [@chammock](#): > > I’m not computer savvy in the least. Well then, I suggest you make at least a minimum effort to learn basic computer usage skills. Your local college or university likely has evening courses often which you can sit in for free (without college credit.) If not, then there are books that teach basic computer skills. > [@chammock](#): > > Do I need to right click on it and send it somewhere? When you click on a **download** link, it normally **downloads** a file to your computer. I am going to assume you have a MS Windows operating system (otherwise you would not be trying to download a Windows application.) So, on Windows platform, files are downloaded to the user “ **Downloads** ” folder. > [@chammock](#): > > If it wouldn’t be asking too much, could you give me step by step instructions? After the download is complete , open the “ **Downloads** ” folder and right-click the installer **exe** file and choose “Run as administrator”. Then I suggest you follow the installer’s prompts accepting default install location, etc. * * * **If you think this simple operation is beyond you, then hire a local IT service to install it for you.** ---

One thing good about Twilight Render You can use the RGB code in the SU material editor to get close to the color in the Rendering but for Twinmotion and Enscape One needs to Eyeball the color. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/1/e/1e5019c2ac832809ed7daedccba7ad79038df80a.jpeg) ---

Hi Dan, I have updated Sketchup so now have 2024 and I am having the same problem trying to get Twilight Render as an extension. I have downloaded it and it appears in my program files but there is nothing there to use to add it to the extensions on Sketchup. I wonder if you would have any advice on this and how I go about using it within Sketchup if it does not use SketchUp’s extension manager to install. Many thanks in advance Clare ---

> [@ClareH27](#): > > I wonder if you would have any advice on this and how I go about using it within Sketchup … No. I do not use it myself. I might have tried it a long time ago, but do not really remember. It is up to you (and every user) to do some due diligence in seeking out a manual and online tutorial videos.

Hi Chammock, do you still have that version of twilight they sent you for 2024? Their website is completely down now, and I only have an older version of twilight. Were you able to get it running? Thank you ---

Hi, I have been but I’m doing a new install of windows and upgrading. I was able to find the 2024 Twilight version on the wayback machine. Although I’m now having issues activating my Pro license and denoise add-on. Not sure if there’s a way around that. I’ve been trying to dig through all of the twilight files but I’m lost.. Here is the link to the page and file if others come here looking for it. > **[2024 and the Twilight Render Sunset - Twilight Render User Forum](https://web.archive.org/web/20240508203024/https://twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=12925#p58165)** ---

Also want to add anyone else trying to get this to work on newer versions of sketchup. - I had to install Sketchup 2024 first. - Then installed the Twilight Render 24 Sunset Version. - Then I went to this directory C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\SketchUp\Plugins - Copied the folder contents to C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2025\SketchUp\Plugins - If there’s not a plugin folder there just make one. This got Twilight working in sketchup 2025 for me. I still can’t find a way to get My Pro License and denoise Add-on to work tho. If you don’t have access to 2024 install I zipped the files needed for the 2025 plugin folder to get twilight to work.
