“What a great program. Fantastic rendering results. looking forward to getting on board with this for exterior reno work”
“…and love, love, your program (nXtRender for AutoCAD) – am very happy that I have upgraded.”
“It is good to work with a company which so quickly and positively responds to its customers’ requests.”
“The IRender Batch Render option came in handy for this, because I was able to render out multiple views overnight, which allowed me to save time and budget on the project.”
“Magical – if images like this do not sell a scheme nothing will!”
“IRender nXt is much more intuitive and has the unique benefit of light channels which is what allows me to capture all the different light ambiances in one render job, the other engines do not have this amazing feature. Also, the guys at Render Plus are brilliantly helpful and rapid in response.”
“Over the years I’ve found that Render Plus customer service has always been exceptional”
“I am thoroughly enjoying the program and think it’s a great plugin.”
“SpaceDesign saves us a huge amount of time in setting up our products to manufacture and virtually eliminates errors altogether. If it is in your model you can create it and cost and manufacture it!”
“Very impressed with the software (IRender nXt), thanks!“
“Once again thanks for your quick response. Your product is starting to really turn heads in our office as we use it more.”
“ArielVision is a great product”
“Thank you for your help, this new addition (Grass/Carpet Maker in IRender nXt) is great.”
“(IRender nXt Cloud Rendering Service) We are now able to run a complete set of new renders before build, once the client has provided us with the final artwork and graphics, which was not always possible to timeframes before having to go to site and receiving final artwork.”
“The ability to adjust the light levels for the different channels in real time makes adjusting a rendering easy.”
“Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it and I am impressed with your company service.”
“Client’s love seeing the designs and find it helpful to visualize the completed spaces for their events.”
“IRender nXt only took me a few days to fully understand and learn all about lighting before I was producing renderings for our clients here at Hussmann. It’s incredibly powerful and the easiest renderer to learn and use for SketchUp.”
“nXtRender (for Revit) is much faster than the Revit rendering engine and I like the results much better.”

Detailed Feature List
More details, uses, and features for IRender nXt
Create your model with SketchUp, then render it with IRender SU. Easy to learn and use, you’ll be up and running in no time. There’s a full range of features that you will discover as you gain experience and want to extend your rendering skill. Some of the key properties in creating great renderings are lighting, shadows, and reflections. We make this easy through one click material presets, drop in lighting, and you can even adjust the lighting without rendering the model again.
- Compatible with all versions of SketchUp
- Simple to add materials library and one-click presets
- Lighting components to just drop in and render
- Multiple lighting channels – even adjust color and brightness after rendering is complete
- Support HDRi images for simple realistic lighting and backgrounds
- Render amazing images and panoramas
- Add or create 2D/3D Plants for realism and fast rendering
- Create animations with a simple setup wizard
Choose from 5,000 standard materials or create your own. The Materials Wizard provides multiple controls for a single material, including transparency, index of refraction for glass materials, and more. Use bump maps to give a material (with or without textures) a different appearance.
Auto Reflections to SketchUp materials – You can select auto reflections to automatically add reflection settings to SketchUp materials; you can even easily customize- Material Wizard
- Quick Presets – plastic, mirror, glass, water, etc
- Advanced materials properties if you need them
- Advanced reflections – mirrors, glass, hardwood floors, etc
- Realistic textures with bump maps to create realistic bricks, blocks, roofs, water, and more
- Water materials from smooth to rough and shallow to deep
- Grass and texture wizard
Lighting in 3D rendering makes all of the difference in creating photorealistic renderings. You can use our drag and drop lights, lighting presets, or quickly make your own custom lights.
Drag and drop, render ready interior and exterior lights, which are ready for you to adjust brightness, color, and lighting channel- Our light creation wizards enable you to quickly create your own custom lights
- Lighting rendering presets for studio, interior, exterior and more
- HDRi images provide quick drop in high quality lighting setup and background scenes
- Stop re-rendering for lighting changes! Our rendering software allows you to change lighting color, intensity, and even on or off for quick changes after rendering.
In addition to stunning, high quality rendered stills, IRender SU also provides tools to render panoramas and animations. While your clients will love your renderings, watch their faces when you show them an animated walk-through or panorama.
- Animations – Create a high-quality animation of a SketchUp model with IRender SU! Quickly setup your animation by creating the scenes to be included, define frames per second and image size, then render the resulting frames. Once frame rendering is complete you can simply create the movie!
- Panoramas – Create a full 360 degree panoramic image which can be turned into a movie and embedded in a web page. A panoramic image is created by rotating the camera while rendering to create a full 360 x 360 degree image. Panoramas work best with large interiors, or with exteriors which have a central point which lets you view the full model.
The IRender SU Image Editor enables you to easily make changes to an image after rendering is complete without having to re-render or use third party software.
Use the tools available via the Image Editor toolbar:
- Lighting Channels – Adjust the effect of sun, sky or groups of lights.
- Lighting Adjustments – Control image contrast, burn, color saturation and brightness.
- Material Channels – Adjust the color or luminance of pixels rendered.
- Image Filters – Choose from a range of filters to apply a dramatic new look.
- Haze and Fog – Apply haze or fog.
- Depth Blur – Adjust the near or far focus of your image.
