Reliable results every time
It is important for our office to utilize the same drawing base for presentation preparation as well as construction documentation in order to avoid costly mistakes that can happen when jumping between different software environments. Render Plus allows us to use our working drawings to create presentation renderings within a single CAD environment.
PROSWhether providing imaging for outdoor space, interior space or overall building design concepts, the ease of setup and augmenting views with lighting and surface adjustments has always resulted in render images that compliment design intentions.
CONSWe have been users since the early days of Accurender and do miss the light fixtures and more robust plant libraries that were readily available to drop into a render scene.
Reason for choosing Render Plus Suite
Familiarity, speed, ease of use
Vendor Response
Thanks, Matt! The good news is that we have some libraries available for download - I'll send you the link separately.

A quality rendering program!
Over all the Render Plus Suite is a great asset to use with Sketchup. It really gives an accurate view of what the designed space with look like. It has greatly helped us communicate design concepts with our clients. I am a happy user!
PROSRender Plus Suite is easy to use, in fact, I taught myself how to use the program. The program updates are clear to understand and beneficial. The final outcome of my drawings are a great design tool to show clients what their space will look like.
CONSThe render time can be slow. This does depend on the size of the drawing file and how many elements are in it. If that could be improved that would be great. Also, I have had issues before with the lights not rendering correctly.

A perfect compliment when sharing building ideas with Clients
I have been an user for more than 10years and am always pleased with the speed and ease of use... both great benefits in an active architectural firm.
PROSIntegrating seamlessly into our AutoCAD environment not only saves time but ensures we are rendering models that will form the documents for construction. Our renderings are accurate to the finished product which our Clients love.
CONSSome earlier features of the software included light fixtures and more robust plant libraries have been scaled back.
Reason for choosing Render Plus Suite
Ease of controlling the environment and setting up render scenes
Reasons for switching to Render Plus Suite
To avoid changing between platforms and multiple models.

A great software for my needs
It is user friendly, fast to learn.
PROSI really like the easy way to use the lighting. And the support when I need help is very fast and helpful.
CONSThe time it takes for the full image to appear after starting rendering. I would like to get french tutorials available too.
Reason for choosing Render Plus Suite
It was because a designer I knew was using this and it seems simple to use. Also, I didn't know any other rendering software when I started using Irender.

Sketch up is a game changer
Any questions we have were quickly answered by their team. 10/10
PROSWe use sketch up to take our cabinet elevations to the next level. Clients don’t want to see boring elevations. They want to see what their kitchen will look like in full color. The final product is amazing. We have closed more deals thanks to renderplus!
CONSWe love everything about the software. No cons.

Excellent design Tool
We have been delighted to come across this plug in to sketch up.
PROSThis software enable sus to show clients a 3d view that looks much more polished than just form. The ability to add lighting, and reflection makes this tool invaluable to us as designers.
CONSThe lighting and materials can be hard to get used to and you need to be prepared to experiment alot to get different textures that may be needed. This can be time consuming. There is also a lack of online information on how to do this - such as youtube tutorials etc

1st time user, satisfied user
I have completely enjoyed my experience, the use off tutorials has aided in understanding the software and the full capabilities. I am very pleased and have no desire to try another software for these applications.
PROSThe overall functionality, I was able to provide a clear representation that could be clearly understood by the client. Generated a workflow with this software that was somewhat innovative for the industry we are currently working in.
CONSThe functionality of the lighting control, sometimes the channels didn't refresh as quickly as I wish they did, most likely it was due to user error on my end but trying to incorporate lighting was a bit tricky.

Quick to on-board and learn!
Like I said - I wasn't getting the results I wanted with my old sketchup plug-in rendering software - so I tried Render Plus. Out of the box with a minor learning curve I was pushing out images that were already on par with my old product that I'd been using for quite some time.
PROSI thought the on-line tutorials were very useful and allowed a quick turn-around from initial install to completed project with very good results!
CONSI'm still having issues with setting up some of my lighting and some of my desired backgrounds.
