I am currently in the market for rendering software, and would like to give POV-Ray a try before sinking $500-$3000 into a commercial package. I work in an Autocad environment and would like to continue using Autocad as a modeller. I'm aware that there is a DXF-to-POV utility available. How well does this work? Am I better off using a different modeller? Also, I'd like to get an idea of how POV compares to packages such as 3-D Studio, Renderstar, etc. (pc-based packages) in terms of image quality, speed, and ease-of-use. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, -Joe There is 1 Reply. Read action !
