To render within SketchUp and see a model as a high-resolution photorealistic image you will need to download and install a SketchUp rendering extension. Many designers want their models to look photoreal, and rendering software is needed to do this. When you design a model in SketchUp, it appears as a simple drawing that can show shadows colors and material textures, but it does not process reflections, lighting from lights or the sun, etc. Creating Photorealistic Renderings with SketchUp Trimble purchased SketchUp from Google in 2012, and the software continues to evolve and be used by millions around the world.

I doubt that is what Google had in mind when they sold this software to Trimble on the condition that there would always be a free version available to the public for private, non-professional use. It appears the functionality of the free versions of this invaluable software are being progressively diminished, leaving frequent users with only a very expensive alternative to achieve the same results that have been provided free for years.
