LiveSync with SketchUp
Connect once and keep modelling. Meshes, textures, lights with barn doors and scenes arrive on their own, and the Unreal camera follows yours. What you perfect in Unreal stays perfected.
SketchUp → Unreal Engine 5 · for arch-viz studios
The one-click SketchUp-to-Unreal bridge built for architects.
Made by an arch-viz studio for the way architects actually work: live sync, materials that look real, and renders your clients will sign off on.

Inside Deckerbridge
One window inside Unreal. Every screen below is the real thing.
No node graphs, no Blueprints, no hunting through settings panels. Deckerbridge puts materials, lighting and rendering behind buttons and sliders with plain-English names.
01 · MATERIALS
Pick a surface. Click a material. Done.
Turn on picking, click any surface in your scene, then click Polished Marble, Brushed Brass or Velvet. Picking stays on, so you move from surface to surface without breaking stride.
- 77 arch-viz presets across glass, metal, wood, stone, fabric and more
- Finds your PBR maps, or builds normal, roughness and AO from one photo
- Copy a look to other surfaces as a shared or editable copy
02 · LIGHTING
Tell it what you're lighting. It does the rest.
Choose exterior or interior, then a physically correct sun and sky for any place and time, or a photographed HDRI. Exposure, fill and fog are set for you, and everything updates the viewport live.
- Real sun and sky, or HDRI with sun shadows matched to the photo
- Sunny, overcast, studio and night presets in one click
- Camera looks, quality levels and outlooks for every time of day
03 · SKIES
A library of real skies, built in.
Browse hundreds of free Poly Haven skies by mood (sunsets, overcast, urban, studio, night), download at the size you need and light your scene with one click. Or use your own.
- Search and filter right inside Unreal
- 1K to 8K downloads, cached for next time
- Free for commercial work (CC0)
04 · ROOM LIGHTS
Every lamp in one list, and it thinks for you.
The light lister gathers every light in the level. Group them by room, name, type or colour, dim or solo a whole group, and save Day, Evening and Night moods. Your SketchUp values stay; anything you change here sits on top.
- One master switch and dimmer for the whole house
- Smart checks flag lights that slow you down or leak through walls
- Add a downlight, soft panel or accent spot where you're looking
05 · RENDER
Render without the ritual.
Pick a size, a quality and a file type, then press Render. Stills, every saved outlook at once, walkthroughs, sun time-lapses and path-traced hero shots, without opening Movie Render Queue's settings.
- HD to 8K, square, portrait and cinema formats
- Draft, High and Path traced quality
- PNG, JPG, EXR or MP4 video
06 · LOOK
Make the window yours.
Deckerbridge opens in a clean Unreal grey. Switch to Springbrid Navy & Gold, Graphite & Amber, Midnight Teal or Light Studio, or tune every colour, text size and corner and save your own look.
- Five ready-made looks
- Every colour, size and outline adjustable
- Saved on your computer for every project
What you get
Everything between a SketchUp model and a client-ready film.
Fabric that behaves like fabric
Velvet that goes dark face-on and catches light on every fold, crushed or silk. Sheer curtains that glow when the window behind is bright and cast soft sun onto the floor.
The real sun, anywhere
Light your scene with the sun of Lagos, London or Dubai at the true date and hour. Then save outlooks (morning, golden hour, night) and render them all at once.
How it works
Four steps. No Unreal expertise required.
- 01
Model in SketchUp
Keep your tags, groups, components and scenes. Place real lights in SketchUp, in lumens, with barn doors.
- 02
Connect to Unreal
One click sends the model. LiveSync keeps every later edit in step, and the camera follows.
- 03
Pick, convert, light
Click surfaces and presets. Choose your sun or sky. Group lamps into moods. Tune with sliders.
- 04
Render and present
Hero stills, outlooks for every time of day, films and path-traced shots, ready for the client meeting.
Your scenes are always yours.
Everything Deckerbridge makes is a normal Unreal asset. If you ever stop subscribing, every material, light and setup keeps opening, rendering and packaging exactly as before. Only the tools pause.

Questions, answered
Do I need to know Unreal Engine?
No. Deckerbridge replaces node graphs and settings panels with presets, sliders and one-click buttons. If you can use SketchUp, you can light and render in Unreal.
Which versions does it work with?
Unreal Engine 5.7 and SketchUp 2021 to 2026, on Windows. Unreal Engine is free for studios earning under $1 million a year.
How does the free trial work?
Download and install Deckerbridge, and every tool is open for 14 days. No card, no account. When you're ready, choose a plan and paste your key into the Licence tab.
What does lifetime include?
One payment, and Deckerbridge is yours for as long as it is sold: every future update and support for new Unreal Engine versions, on the number of computers your plan covers.
What happens if I cancel a subscription?
It runs to the end of the period you paid for, plus a 7-day grace period. After that the tools pause, but your projects don't: everything Deckerbridge created keeps working, rendering and packaging.
Can I pay from Nigeria or elsewhere in Africa?
Yes. Checkout accepts cards from anywhere. Prices are in US dollars; if your bank card declines dollar payments, a dollar card or virtual card works. Yearly or lifetime means one payment instead of twelve.
Can I work offline?
Yes. Deckerbridge confirms your licence online every few days and keeps working offline in between, for up to two weeks.
Can I move my licence to a new computer?
Any time. Press Deactivate this computer in the Licence tab, or free it from your customer portal, then activate the same key on the new one.
Your next client presentation could be in golden hour.
Install Deckerbridge, connect your SketchUp model, and see the difference before your coffee goes cold.
