When I am trying to render a project, I am getting no light source.  I am assuming that sketchup only has one light source, the sun...

 

Is there a third party program that you recommend using to render inside models for different light sources?  I have tried Artlantis, but I guess I just need ALOT of time to learn how to use it....

 

Thanks in advance...

I like IDX Renditioner. It renders within sketchup, and can produce an image file of the current window in a variety of resolutions. It is pretty simple to learn and handles multiple lighting sources well. There is a free download you can try at:

give it a try. It is not free, but in terms of ease of use and results it is my choice.

Kerkythea is a free, open source rendering program. It does a good job and supports a lot of plugins. Using the tutorials will really help you learn fast. I had my first renders done within an hour or two, and they looked pretty good. The forums are very helpful.
