Podium Browser with Podium Walker Video Tutorials

Two plug-ins that compliment SU Podium V2 and can work independently

SU Podium V2 is one of the most popular photo-realistic rendering plug-ins for SketchUp free or Pro. To produce high quality still images of your SketchUp model, SU Podium V2 is second to none and one of the easiest software applications to use. Podium Browser compliments SU Podium V2 by providing thousands of render ready components and materials that simply need to be placed in the SketchUp model and then rendered.

A new plug-in called Podium Walker allows for very fast, photo-realistic walk thru animations, providing SketchUp users with a new way to communicate designs with customers and colleagues. But Podium Browser also can be used with Podium Walker every effectively without even using SU Podium V2.

Four part video series that explores first designing a model primarily with render-ready components from Podium Browser. Then visualizing the design with both SU Podium V2 and Podium Walker. Part 3 and 4 videos present how to create a simple photo-realistic walk thru of the new SketchUp model using Podium Walker.
