I want to thank everyone who has added a review to the IRender nXt page on the SketchUp Extensions page. I think it helps prospective users to be able to see what others think about a product.
Here is a recent review by Dieter J
I
use Render nXt with Sketchup Pro and it not only does the rendering
very well, it provides improvement to Sketchup that other wise wouldn't
be there. for example changing materials with only the Sketchup
material editor becomes laborious if the material is within a grouped
object. Much easier to do using the Render nXt material editor. Al and
Richard are responsive to providing solutions when problems when I have
had some and to adding features that I have requested. They are
approachable. For example I was getting borders around rendered images
that I had to then crop away. They determined it was the white
background image I was using and gave me a link to a graphics editor
that allowed a borderless white page to be produced as a jpg file. I
asked for a way to save a view so that one could make changes and then
always return to that view. Bingo, the new View Wizard was produced,
found under the Rendering Tab.
I produce design illustration related to our hot tubs, saunas and
thermal solar products. Many of my Sketchup files are huge (some
approaching 100MB), because of the detail contained within them. While
some of these can take their time to save and complete the rendering
process, I never found that Render nXt hangs. If there is a problem it
will be Sketchup itself that hiccups. Keep up the good work Al and
Richard!
