Ouch, faint praise there! Sketchup is doing something there that Maya/Max/SI etc just can't do..

LightUp handles the processing and lighting. Its very flexible in controlling resolution; if you really need to sample lighting every 4.5cm, you can, or you can let LightUp figure something reasonable and modify it. It handles groups and components too.
