LightUp for SketchUp is a SketchUp plugin that adds realistic, realtime lighting to your sketchup models. Add lights, add windows, and watch your SketchUp scenes glow with gorgeous reflected light, soft shadows, subtle shading. Gone are the flat, boring surfaces of old. When you're ready, you can export your lit model to a compressed file containing your Model, textures and Scenes and share it with others using the free LightUp Player or LightUp Web Player.
Version 2.6h has just been released with new features and bug-fixes.
This is a FREE update and you are encouraged to get the latest version of your software. Simply run the new installer, launch SketchUp and enter your new Registration Key.
