Render your SketchUp model online — without V-Ray
Upload your SketchUp export and Sherpa turns it into a presentation-ready image with AI. No render engine, no plug-ins, no settings — just the image you need for your pitch or client conversation.
From SketchUp export to presentation image
Export your viewport
Save an image (PNG or JPG) of your model view from SketchUp. The clearer the view, the stronger the result.
Upload to Sherpa
Drop your export in. No prompts, no settings, no rendering expertise required.
Download your image
You get a presentation-ready image back — ready for your pitch, concept, or client conversation.
Why Sherpa instead of V-Ray, Enscape or Lumion?
A full render engine is powerful — but also slow to set up, with a learning curve and settings you don't want to touch for every pitch. For the final, photorealistic image V-Ray, Enscape or a render studio remains the right choice.
But for most projects where you quickly need something presentable, that's heavy machinery.
Sherpa works directly on your SketchUp export: no engine, no plug-in, no rendering knowledge. You upload what you already have and get back an image in seconds that is strong enough for a client conversation. Soon even with one click directly from your SketchUp viewport.
Yes: fast, no engine needed, works on your existing export.
Not: a replacement for a fully photorealistic render pipeline.

Frequently asked questions about SketchUp renders
How do I render my SketchUp model?
Export an image (PNG or JPG) from your SketchUp viewport and upload it to Sherpa. You get a presentation-ready image back — without installing or configuring a render engine like V-Ray or Enscape.
Do I need V-Ray, Enscape or Lumion?
No. Sherpa works directly on your SketchUp export. You need no render engine, plug-in, or rendering expertise. For a fully photorealistic pipeline a render engine or render studio remains the right choice; for pitches, concepts, and client conversations Sherpa is the fast in-between step.
Will my SketchUp design stay recognisable?
Yes. Sherpa enhances your existing export — it does not invent anything new. The clearer your SketchUp image, the stronger and more recognisable the result.
Is a direct SketchUp extension coming?
Yes, it is coming soon: render with one click directly from your SketchUp viewport, with no export step. You can already upload your SketchUp export and test it for free.
