    Hi,
    I recently downloaded kerkythea and used it. It is fairly good and fast but there are not many materials available that I can find. I am looking for free rendering software available to use with sketchup with lots of materials. So far I've found Indigo. Is that good?
    Thanks in advance.

    You used to be able to export from sketchup to Google earth 4 files, then import that into Blender.
    Don't know if this still works.
    Worth giving it a shot, just google you'll find instructions.

    Not yet I'm still waiting for my crappy laptop to finish rendering it. I did make chrome, gloss black and gloss red though because it's really easy to edit colours. I will though have u got the link?

    Does indigo ever finish rendering or does it just keep making it better till you stop? Mines been going for nine hours andhasn't finished.
