Podium Walker is an alternative to ProWalker GPU for Mac users, and Windows users who do not have GPU hardware capable of running ProWalker efficiently.

Podium Walker is a real-time animation plug-in for SketchUp that allows users to create high quality animated visualizations and walkthroughs from their SketchUp models, quickly and easily. Podium Walker uses a keyframe based animation workflow to create an animated motion path out of your SketchUp camera views, and then a fast raytracing engine to render and export video files.
