Having your engine stay withing SketchUp is very useful and is a time saver.Have to correct the 'open source' part. Kerkythea is free, but no open source. But there are some open source renderers (or actually GPL), if really needed; Cycles (Blender), Lux render and Mitsuba are maybe best know.
Kerkythea been proven to work, so it still maybe a fine option.
