Developer ArtVPS has jumped on the moving cloud-rendering train, following Maxwell as well as V-Ray, and now also offers support for a cloud rendering service in the latest version of the SketchUp rendering plug-in. The service is intended to be available directly from within SketchUp with a simple mouse click. According to ArtVPS, the speed is intended to be up to 30x faster.
In terms of price, a single image costs from 10,- dollars upward.
