Driving Dimensions is a plug-in for Google SketchUp that allows you to make parametric changes of any 3D model in very simple and intuitive way. With Driving Dimensions plug-in you can change any dimension (length, distance, radius, angle) in your SketchUp model in just one click. All driving dimensions set in your model are satisfied simultaneously (when you set up a new dimension, all previous dimensions are also satisfied). Parametric design has never been so easy even for beginners!

As an interactive, photorealistic renderer for Google SketchUp, Shaderlight lets you render great images quickly and simply.  Fully integrated in to SketchUp and SketchUp Pro, Shaderlight lets you move objects or camera angles within a scene and see the results instantly as the image refines. If you're using SketchUp 7 or above, why not download the FREE beta software and start rendering.  With the Shaderlight beta, you'll be the first to experience our unique rendering process. Shaderlight is actively developed and a full version of the software is due later this year, with many more features to be added.

Some say that Google SketchUp and architecture go hand in hand, all we know is now 3D printing is just as easy as using SketchUp. All you have to do is install our plugin and within a few mouse clicks you will have full production capabilities of i.materialise at your disposal. Our 3D printing solutions allow us to produce scale models preserving all textures of the original file and to achieve an unmatched quality of the final product.

With AR-media™ Plugin, Google™ SketchUp™ users are allowed to visualize their 3D models using Augmented Reality directly in the real physical space which sorrounds them. In a very precise sense, through AR-media™ Plugin, SketchUp™ 3D models can be visualized out of the digital workspace directly on users' desktop, by connecting a simple webcam and by printing a suitable code. The AR-media™ Plugin provides users with an advanced visualization functionality which serves two main purposes: Study and analyze scaled virtual prototypes in real environments Communicate 3D projects immersively and astonishingly All you need to make AR-media™ Plugin work is a personal computer, a webcam and a printed code attached to the software. A wide range of Head Mounted Displays, including the Vuzix® CamAR, eMagin, i-glasses™ are also supported.

YafaRay is a free open-source raytracing engine. Raytracing is a rendering technique for generating realistic images by tracing the path of light through a 3D scene. A render engine consists of a "faceless" computer program that interacts with a host 3D application to provide specific raytracing capabilties "on demand".
