“IRender nXt provides me with the ability to provide quality renderings that help me convey my designs and win business.”
“nXtRender (for Revit) is much faster than the Revit rendering engine and I like the results much better.”
“Thank you so much. Real customer service. Amazing.”
“Over the years I’ve found that Render Plus customer service has always been exceptional”
“Thank you for your help, this new addition (Grass/Carpet Maker in IRender nXt) is great.”
“So here it is. Renders were done in iRender NXT and are as yet basic. …IRender is able to handle this 81MB beast, which is more than can be said of Vray… exporting 2D images from SU itself is rather more of a problem too… I did these renders in the trial version of IRender, which runs out in 6 days, so I’m now considering buying it. It does have good RPC plant options that I’d love to experiment with! … Here’s another render. I love this feature of IRender, it actually does true orthogonal renders.”
“I love your software and our students create fantastic renderings”
“Over the years I’ve found that Render Plus customer service has always been exceptional”
“I’m teaching this stuff and can barely keep up with the students sometimes so my learning curve has to be accelerated sometimes.”
“I was thrilled to find this program (IRender nXt) that I found affordable as well as easy to learn how to use.”
“(IRender nXt) Cloud rendering has made the design process far more agile and time efficient. In the past when I was rendering and designing simultaneously it slowed down some of the features in SketchUp; with the cloud rendering that problem has been solved.“
“.. and am so impressed with the customer support that you have given me. Rest assured that I will be certainly recommending to fellow SU (SketchUp) users to buy your integrated plugin for rendering”
“Our office has appreciated your company support and quite honestly have continued to enjoy the ease of use of your software especially within the AutoCAD Architecture environment / thanks for your continued tech support and providing a simple to use render package to help convey designs to our clients.”
“I was impressed with the ease of integrating ArielVision into SketchUp and being able to produce the first rendering quickly.”
“I bought a license of one year through my professional high school, it works very well.”
“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.”
“I used SketchUp and IRender nXt to recreate the office set from the 1960s Dick Van Dyke Show. It has been great fun and I absolutely LOVE your product.”
“It (IRender nXt Cloud Rendering Service) has definitely added value to our business in terms of the amount of designs we can turnaround simultaneously. It is also great to use when travelling as everything is cloud based.”
“When I was asked to find a rendering package for SketchUp, I tried 6 or 8 of them. Decided on IRender nXt because it was the easiest to use and get up to speed with.”

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 is 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 HDR 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.

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 nXt! 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 nXt 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.
