LightUp for SketchUp aims to provide users with a fast workflow to explore spaces and lighting all from inside SketchUp. Soft shadows, area lights, point lights and sunlight are all supported. Once lighting is calculated, users can walk around their lit models in realtime, generate high resolution stills (eg 9000x5000) as well as movies using SketchUp Scenes or simply capture a walkthrough of your model.
