What’s your favourite rendering software?
I like to use the AutoCAD rendering because make good renders quickly but I don’t have any experience of other software.
What is your favourite rendering software and why?
Photoview 360 is a favourite of mine.
It’s easy to use and above there’s Photoview 360 SolidWorks integration and good rendering.
Here’s an example of the rendering on the software.
95% of the time, I used PhotoWorks in SW2010, now it’s replaced with PhotoView (now integrated in SW2011/12) and the rest of the 5% I tried my luck with Keyshot2, and after some time had to do a clean install of everything, lost my license key for Keyshot2, received the new license key for Keyshot3, still didn’t install it, as I don’t do many renders, most of the time it’s just for manufacturing and fabrication process, and developing and designing a whole new product usually takes two or three months, sometimes even more… If you’re satisfied with the results (you get within the main app), save your money for things you need more (for the price of Keyshot, I could buy I a new MB, the fastest Intel CPU and a brand new ATI FirePro V4800 and upgrade from 6 to 16G of DDR3 RAM…) That was a much better investment for me 😉
Keyshot for sure, so easy to use & very realistic.
You can do CAD networking rendering and there’s some great Keyshot tutorial videos on their site to show you how the software works.

I switch it up between V-Ray and Lumion. V-ray when I have the time to tweak all the tiny details in the render and Lumion when I’m on a tight schedule.
