Rendering Program?

[Calpol]

Hullo all, I'm after a descent rendering program for CAD drawings. I use AutoCAD to draw them but the rendering is a bit naf, like it won't do end grain and the likes... I've been told 3D Studio Max is pretty good?

Any ideas?

Sketchup can import Autocad and is a little better at rendering. If you want real good rendering and good animation use Blender

Sketchup looks about the same as AutoCAD for rendering, isn't bad but I like the very realistic renders. Blender looks amazing, the grapes are spot on! Will it work with AutoCAD though?

So did you even look at my most recent thread? There's a suggestion there.

Yes it will. Blender has an impressive set of supported file formats it can import.

Any add-on render programmes look great, but they require quite a bit of messing about ... it is not clicking a couple of buttons.

I find Sketchup is brilliant for presentation drawings, there is a programme that works within Sketchup called Turbosketch that does rendering.

Yo really need the advice from the MASTER Dave R
