ASGVIS has now officially released the new VRay for Sketchup for both Mac & PC’s, including new support for ambient occlusion, IES lights, and improved parsing times. This is also the first official version that runs natively in the Mac OSX environment.
Here’s what our beta testers are saying about the new V-Ray for SketchUp:
“Amazingly fast! Instead of rendering one image per night I’m cooking five in one day. Great work ASGVIS, rendering on Mac is smooth. I’m sure my interiors will benefit from the new features as IES!” – Johannes Roevens
“The addition of Ambient Occlusion in V-Ray for SketchUp adds a new level of realism for architectural visualizations, making the details and shadows in interiors “pop” and creating an instant convincing dirt effect to exterior surfaces.” – Jackson Barkess
V-Ray for SketchUp is available from Creation Engine at an educational discount price of $229.

Creating 3D models can be baffling for beginners. Like any family of applications, from word processors to image editors, 3D modelling tools have their own shared features, toolsets and formats that must be learned first.
That’s why Google Sketchup is such a superb introduction to 3D. It’s about as simple as 3D can be made, comes with a massive catalogue of ready-made models, and the documentation is comprehensive. Oh, and the standard version is free.

Google SketchUp Pro 7 is free for instructors.
Google SketchUp Pro 7 Lab licenses are available at a school discount price of $15.

Close to a year after launching its excellent graphics tablet, the Intuos4 series, Wacom releases an updated version with Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Available only in the medium-size version for about $399, $50 more than its USB-only twin, the Intuos4 Wireless becomes a great option for artists and illustrators on the go–or even sedentary ones with an aversion to wires.The Wireless model runs off a replaceable lithium ion battery that charges via the USB connection. You have to charge it before going wireless, as well as be physically connected to install the driver. After that, Bluetooth setup is fairly typical. You switch the tablet on and press a button to initiate the “I’m here!” broadcast and wait for your system to discover the tablet, which is essentially treated as a mouse. Note that the tablet doesn’t ship with a dongle, so if your system doesn’t have Bluetooth you’ll have to deal with that separately.
Intuos4 Wireless Tablet Medium is available from Creation Engine for $375.
