Before the 1.49 patch cycle, rendering inside SketchUp was often unstable. SketchUp was designed as a lightweight, intuitive 3D sketching tool. It was not built to handle the heavy computational demands of ray-tracing engines. Early ports of V-Ray frequently crashed due to SketchUp’s 32-bit memory limitations.
This version perfected the dual-engine approach to calculation of light bouncing:
