Buy V-Ray for SketchUp from CAD Software Direct - official UK Reseller
V-Ray for SketchUp is the renderer of choice for professionals across the design spectrum. It's extremely popular with architects, interior designers and other professionals working in the built environment. Coupled with SketchUp, V-Ray also lends itself well to many other design fields such as product and furniture design.
V-Ray for SketchUp boasts live preview in addition to all its other powerful visualisation features, cementing its place as the World's most important renderer for SketchUp. Updates in V-Ray 3.5 for Sketchup bring it in line with other versions of V-Ray such as V-Ray for Maya & V-Ray for 3DS Max. Importantly, this means the underlying render engine has been updated and it now takes advantage of GPU as well as CPU.
For those users looking to upgrade to V-Ray 3 for SketchUp, if you previously purchased V-Ray for SketchUp after 1st November 2015, you are entitled to a free upgrade - please see our V-Ray upgrade process information. Any other V-Ray 2 for SketchUp users will need to purchase an upgrade. There is no upgrade path from earlier versions.
Render Node Changes
V-Ray 3 no longer includes free additional render nodes. Within the 'workstation license' one render node is included - but this is used for normal use and can only be used within distributed rendering when not in use through the modelling application. For users wishing to upgrade, who previously utilised render nodes for distributed rendering, there is one extra node included. If you require more, it is far more cost effective to add render nodes at the time of upgrade than to purchase these separately.
Powered by CPU and GPU
V-Ray includes two powerful rendering engines. With CPU or GPU acceleration, you can use the best engine for your project and hardware.
Interactive Rendering
Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights and materials and see the results right away.
Global Illumination
Render photorealistic rooms and interiors with V-Ray’s powerful and fast global illumination.
Accurate lights
Render natural and artificial lighting using a wide range of built-in light types.
Environment Lighting
Light your scenes using a single high-dynamic-range image (HDRI) of its environment.
Physical Sun & Sky
Simulate realistic daylight for any time and any location.
Real-World Cameras
Work like a photographer, with controls for exposure, white balance, depth of field and more.
Physical materials
Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.
Advanced textures
Create realistic and unique materials using any texture map or one of V-Ray’s many built-in procedural textures.
Proxy objects
Bring more detail to your project with memory-efficient proxy models of complex objects like grass, trees, cars and more.
Render elements
Render your scene as separate passes for more artistic control in your image-editing software.
Frame buffer
Track render history and fine-tune color, exposure, and more directly in V-Ray’s frame buffer.
Network rendering
Use the full computing power of your network to render single or multiple images all at once.
Scene Export

Not quite as accurate as some of the unbiased renderers out there - but much faster and with a tonne of controls. (Posted on 17/02/2014)

Used V-Ray a lot over the years. Although SU doesn't provide the functionality that you may want for BIM or QS, I've found the SU Pro > V-Ray workflow one of the quickest for concept work and getting to the render stage as quickly as possible for clients. Price is high-ish, but probably worth it considering the return/fast workflow. (Posted on 12/02/2014)
