Links Both programs currently offer free downloads for non-commercial use, although Lumen RT and recent free versions of Vue insist on adding a small logo to any image that you export. The man (I think he’s one of the guys who dreamed up SketchUp) is a 2D figure who appears when you open a new SketchUp project, to give you an idea of the scale. I was able to approach move around the model in real time (no lengthy waiting for it to redraw) using the mouse. Like Dorothy’s house in The Wizard of Oz, my model had dropped into another world, although this one does look rather like Kansas (during the Dust Bowl). At first there was a glitch as my mouse had become disabled but on restarting my iMac the export worked perfectly. My design in SketchUpMakeīut how easy would it be? In a minute or so I extruded a rectangular block in SketchUp and punched a few holes in it to make it look like some kind of building then I pressed the ‘export to LumenRT’ button. ![]() So this morning when I received an e-mail from E-on telling me that there’s now a program, LumenRT, that allows you to export your SketchUp designs into a photo-realistic 3D environment, I had to give it a go. My favourite is Vue because of the way it handles natural landscapes but whenever there’s an update, I’ll have another experiment with SketchUp, which is more of a 3D design tool for buildings, furniture and so on. ![]()
