If your scene features dense geometry like detailed 3D trees or complex cloth simulators, convert them into V-Ray Proxies ( .vrmesh ). This keeps your SketchUp viewport incredibly fast and prevents SketchUp from crashing due to high polygon counts.
V-Ray embeds itself directly into the SketchUp interface, allowing you to visualize your design without exporting your file to external software. Real-Time Visualization (V-Ray Vision)
But is it ready for prime time? Let’s cut through the noise.
While V-Ray runs well on Mac, high-end rendering requires strong hardware.
