Many of us love the idea of free 3d modeling programs. The only problem is that if you are like me, you want to try out photo realism and it seems pretty hard to do. Especially if you want to do it for free! Well not so my friend! We have collected several tutorials that will have you making some epic photo realistic models! Basically you will need to use some sort of “external renderer”. So we have gathered some tutorials about some of the major free renderers out there for Sketchup, Enjoy!
