Brighter3D runs on Windows 10/11 with SketchUp 2017 or newer. We recommend at least 8GB RAM, a modern CPU (Intel i5/i7 or AMD equivalent), and a compatible GPU. For best performance, 16GB RAM and a dedicated graphics card with at least 4GB VRAM is suggested.

Installation is simple:

1. Download the installer from your account or purchase email
2. Close SketchUp if it's running
3. Run the installer and follow the prompts
4. Open SketchUp, and you'll find Brighter3D in the Extensions menu
5. Optionaly you can use View->Toolbars... to show B3D toolbar if not visible

The annual license ($75) gives you one year of access to Brighter3D with all updates released during that period. It supports SketchUp 2017 through 202* (the year you bought it).

The lifetime license ($149) provides unlimited access with all future updates and versions for as long as Brighter3D is maintained, with no recurring fees.
