Just got a press release from e-on software announcing their release of LumenRT 1.2 for Sketchup.  The new version shows some fantastic performance boosts:

The auto-scale lighting feature can improve performance by 30% to 300% depending on the size of the model with a resulting tradeoff of lower lighting quality. The new build also adds several quality and reliability enhancements to improve overall performance and stability. As an example, new optimizations in Release 1.2 can lead to a 14x gain on pre-processing time!

In addition, they’ve got a nice Showcase online that shows off some great user contributions to the LumenRT community.

It’s available for $195 and runs on Windows & Mac.
