As you can export as OBJ format you can use the free Blender ! (Internal render or Cycles ;) http://www.blender.org/
Or as Format SKP the free Twilight 2 with free SKetchup! ;)

Thank you everyone so far.

If anyone else uses others, please list.

I jumped onto Thea Render because money was short at one time and they had an special offer running. Very happy with it, btw.

Pilou - Can MoI SKP output work directly with the Twilight 2 render program? Or must you first bring the SKP into Sketchup?

<< Can MoI SKP output work directly with the Twilight 2 render program? Or must you first bring the SKP into Sketchup?

Twilight2 is not a stand alone (it's a plugin's Sketchup) so Yes you must input your SKP model inside Sketchup before! (works fine with the free version of Sketchup)

PS A little trick : if your Moi model is not a "single part" model, better export it in 3DS format from Moi to Sketchup (Menu File / Import...3DS)
then explode it so you will have each part as component!

Hello,

Marmoset Toolbag 2

Octane

Toolbag2 looks great

it would be great to have a MOI AppLink or something else.

Modo !

- The preview renderer is very fast, interactive, and can be used as 'final renderer' with really few quality settings to tweak
- Tons of features (cpu)
- Thanks to the photoview 360 heritage (solidwork version of modo render rengine), modo can render sexy wireframe from nurbs surfaces.

Sexy Technology! :)

That's pretty cool. Wish Keyshot could do that!

I'm following Modo ... soon or later i'll jump into it

What you mean:is a plug-in?

Hi Mauro,

They call it an 'add-in', my is guess is that it comes 'embedded' with solidworks.

Hi Mauro,

>I'm following Modo ... soon or later i'll jump into it

You may hurry up then a bit… The Carlyle Group is selling The Foundry next year… and no one knows yet what will happen then to MODO.
