Rendering Presentations at SketchUp Basecamp

Render Plus and IRender nXt were invited to be on the panel of providers of Rendering Add-ons for SketchUp. Each Rendering Add-on was asked to present their special features. Presentation were made by:

• iRender nXt
• Bloom Unit
• Render[in] for SketchUp
• Shaderlight
• SU Podium
• Thea Render, and
  
• V-Ray for SketchUp

Each presenter was given 5 minutes to discuss the features which set their rendering offering apart from other renderers. For IRender nXt we talked about:

• Fractal Trees,
• Lighting Channels,
• the new Background Wizard , and
• Post Processing Features . 

None of the other panel members included similar features in their presentations, so they may be unique to IRender nXt, or perhaps the other vendors don't consider them as important.

The audience comments about our Lighting Channels and other features was very encouraging. We were able to demonstrate these as well as other features at our presentation table on the second day.

 Overall Basecamp was a great event. Much of the thanks has to go to Aiden Chopra, John Bacus, and Tommy, (who was always running around making things work properly), for putting on this event, and giving us all a chance to learn more about SketchUp and meet each other face to face.
