No exceptions to that unfortunately (for now). Now, if you want to show your clients a 3D model in SketchUp on-site, or something like that, you can use the iPad app, but for serious SketchUp work, you absolutely need a PC or Mac. You can’t use V-Ray on an iPad (SketchUp extensions are not supported on an iPad), so that right there is the kiss of death if you are trying to create photorealistic renders as part of your business. It’s “lite” and does not have all the functionality you need to use SketchUp professionally.

The SketchUp app for iPad is fairly new, and it’s equivalent to the web browser version of SketchUp. I actually think SketchUp works better on a PC (toolbars are much easier to work with), but most of my students in FOCUSED SketchUp use a MacBook Pro. Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I answer these questions, so instead I’m answering them in-depth below!įirst, you should know that both SketchUp and V-Ray are compatible with Macs and PC’s.

Ive restarted twice, uninstalled and reinstalled twice restarted Maya and all the usual stuff but still the same issue Ive just now started to have licensing issues to get vray next working on my workstation ( -200 ), ive opened license server on browser and its showing licenses are available etc and its enabled, but if i create a simple scene and try to render anything i get the '// Error: Could not obtain an interface license (-200): The ChaosGroup License Server could not be reached.'
