Render Plus Suite Reviews
Pros
I have been an user for more than 10years and am always pleased with the speed and ease of use... both great benefits in an active architectural firm.
The final product is amazing. We have closed more deals thanks to renderplus.
I really like the easy way to use the lighting. And the support when I need help is very fast and helpful.
Cons
Maybe the quantity of RAM that it use, but that was a problem of my computer.
This can be time consuming. There is also a lack of online information on how to do this - such as youtube tutorials etc.
I only need to render every couple of months and often order and cancel the software based on jobs.
"Reliable results every time"
Overall: It is important for our office to utilize the same drawing base for presentation preparation as well as construction documentation in order to avoid costly mistakes that can happen when jumping between different software environments. Render Plus allows us to use our working drawings to create presentation renderings within a single CAD environment.
Pros: Whether providing imaging for outdoor space, interior space or overall building design concepts, the ease of setup and augmenting views with lighting and surface adjustments has always resulted in render images that compliment design intentions.
Cons: We have been users since the early days of Accurender and do miss the light fixtures and more robust plant libraries that were readily available to drop into a render scene.
Vendor Response
"A quality rendering program!"
Overall: Over all the Render Plus Suite is a great asset to use with Sketchup. It really gives an accurate view of what the designed space with look like. It has greatly helped us communicate design concepts with our clients. I am a happy user!
Pros: Render Plus Suite is easy to use, in fact, I taught myself how to use the program. The program updates are clear to understand and beneficial. The final outcome of my drawings are a great design tool to show clients what their space will look like.
Cons: The render time can be slow. This does depend on the size of the drawing file and how many elements are in it. If that could be improved that would be great. Also, I have had issues before with the lights not rendering correctly.
"Functional"
Overall: Maybe the quantity of RAM that it use, but that was a problem of my computer,
Pros: The product is amazing, interface is so friendly with the user.
Cons: Any aspect of the software is difficult, im talking in a serious way when i say that th product is too friendly
Vendor Response
"A perfect compliment when sharing building ideas with Clients"
Overall: I have been an user for more than 10years and am always pleased with the speed and ease of use... both great benefits in an active architectural firm.
Pros: Integrating seamlessly into our AutoCAD environment not only saves time but ensures we are rendering models that will form the documents for construction. Our renderings are accurate to the finished product which our Clients love.
Cons: Some earlier features of the software included light fixtures and more robust plant libraries have been scaled back.
"A great software for my needs"
Overall: It is user friendly, fast to learn.
Pros: I really like the easy way to use the lighting. And the support when I need help is very fast and helpful.
Cons: The time it takes for the full image to appear after starting rendering. I would like to get french tutorials available too.
