I am having a lot of trouble looking for a simple rendering extension (there are so many options and it is hard to narrow down) Can I please have some advice? Any advice is helpful. See requirements below. Cheers! 😀 (Tutorials involved would be helpful too…) - Needs to be very simplistic (This is going to be used by Non-3D Designers; artists un-familar with render terms and setup) - Either There should be Easy clickable Pre-Set rendering situations OR I should be able to create and setup one that can be easily made a “template” for another use to use apply to a 3D model. - We are not rendering rooms or but rather single individual products for industrial design presentations. - Most important material is crystal/glass/acrylic. (See images below) - Secondary materials include stone, wood, etc. - Low cost is best as this will be used sparingly. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/3/a/3a02aa4a0d5e6ed5cff95dfce5ecb43c7452b1e4.jpg) ---

What version of sketchup are you on? Your profile does not say. ---

Yes. I am actually using the trial currently for testing to see if this will work for my artists and design assistants but will be purchasing a full Sketchup Pro 2017 (if this is the newest) within the next month. ---

There’s some good options here. Edit: oops that’s an older link. Visualizer is not supported beyond '16.
