Does Renderz import SKP files?

No. Export the desired SketchUp scene as an image and use that image as the Renderz source.

Which SketchUp style works best?

Shaded, Monochrome, and simple textured views work well when edges, openings, and the camera perspective remain clear.

Do I need a rendering extension?

No. Renderz runs in the browser from an exported image, so it does not require a SketchUp rendering plugin.

Can I keep the same camera for several options?

Use the same exported scene as the source for each option and change only the material or atmosphere instructions.

SketchUp workflow

Make SketchUp views presentation-ready with AI

Keep SketchUp fast and direct. When a model view needs more atmosphere, export the scene you already framed and use Renderz to explore realistic materials, furniture, landscape, and lighting—without preparing a separate rendering scene.

01 · Workflow

From SketchUp scene to photoreal direction

Three steps, using the camera view already saved in your model.

Open the saved scene

Choose a clean perspective in Shaded, Monochrome, or a simple textured style.

Export the view

Save a high-resolution image with edges and geometry clear enough to guide the result.

Describe the atmosphere

Specify materials, furniture, landscape, weather, and light, then generate and refine.

02 · SketchUp

A natural extension to fast SketchUp modeling

Use saved scenes

Keep the composition selected in SketchUp and explore several visual moods from the same angle.

Render before detailing everything

Test the project story while the model still contains simple materials and proxy objects.

Iterate during reviews

Create finish or daylight alternatives quickly enough to support an active design conversation.

Exterior proposals

Add façade material, planting, surrounding context, and weather to a massing view.

Material comparisons

Show clients several palettes while maintaining the same saved scene.
