3D - 2

What software's are the best way to render 3D CAD files?

I am using CATIA v5, and I can export files to a variety of CAD standard files, iges, stp, wrl, and step. I want to be able to render these files in a high end rendering software. I was thinking of using 3D Max and using VRay but It has a steep learning curver to use it. Has anyone got any recommendations?

2. Hi, If you want to produce realistic images quickly from your models, you should take a look at Hypershot from Bunkspeed http://www.bunkspeed.com/index.html Reletavly speaking, It's a cheap package and they also offer a free trial. Also there are good online tutorials to get you up to speed quickly.
3. Industry best - 3D Studio Max +VRay introduced their 2009 realease which was specifically for Architectural work. Yes it's a steep learning curve but isn't better to learn the best?! We have loads of tutorials links to help you get started!!! get the link here: http://www.whichdimension.com
