For what you want it is as simple as applying their standard thin glass preset, pushing a button and have Sketchup sun and sky filling the model with light, while you zoom and orbit in sketchup. We render more while designing and discussing, than for actual presentations. In the end it paid off because now I use it for design iteration. I faced it as a useful hobby and learnt while I went.

For me the road to rendering was with a lot of investment on time and also some money but not that much.
