New Rendering Software For Old CAD Guy?
Hi Everyone......I would like to find a third party rendering software to export my solid modeling to, however I want it to have an easy intuitive user interface. I'm too old to learn a thousand new commands and menus. I'm fairly good at product rendering in my outdated 3d CAD program, but it takes forever and is way out of date. Most of my models are wood based, some painted colors, some natural, and they are furniture, toys, lamps, etc. I have a page on GrabCad which can be viewed.
I tried out Rhino 8 and it has a good rendering engine but I don't need the rest of the program (which makes it more complicated than I need). See attached Rino image. Also I would like to find something reasonably priced.
Any tips on programs I should check out? Thanks!

Adobe Substance Stager is probably the best rendering software if you are not really into texturing. You can import 3D models in most of the formats (I use .step) and it load them natively. You have a pretty solid list of materials and you choose the faces on which you want to put the textures.
You can checkout Keyshot Studios
You can try Keyshot, it's relatively easy and fast, and it took me 10 minutes to complete the following picture (not counting the model).
