Thea For SketchUp
Thea For SketchUp is a powerful rendering tool combined with the simplicity of SketchUp. Best realistic photo rendering integrated directly into SketchUp. Having biased, unbiased, and interactive rendering modes including GPU support at your fingertips, inside the SketchUp view, is a delightful experience.
The plugin allows you to enrich your models with very detailed three-dimensional content, breaking old limits regarding the complexity of the model being processed. The Advanced Thea document editor has been fully integrated in SketchUp, bringing all the advanced and unique features of Thea documents. The user interface has been redesigned from scratch following the simplicity and ease of use of SketchUp. Thea for SketchUp allows you to run interactive rendering inside a Thea window or directly inside the SketchUp view, a feature we call interactive render overlay.
Additionally, with the use of interactive area rendering, you can select and render an area of the SketchUp view, providing super-fast response to complex scenes. This is a valuable workflow tool as it gives you immediate visualization of modifications to shape, environment, depth of field, reflection, light distribution, Material calculator and exterior Thea model. The Exposure Adjustment button eliminates the manual process of finding the correct exposure of the rendered image with one click. On top of that, three new exposure presets have been added for different types of scenes (inside, sunlight inside, outside).
