Best Program for Realistic Animations or Images? Inventor Compatible.

[Lewis C]

Hello,

 

I am using Inventor 2012 and need to find a program which will render photo realistic images and a program that will render photo realistic animations from my 3D models.

 

Does anybody know of any? is Keyshot a recommendation, and what about Inventor Publisher??

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Lewis.

I think Showcase is most suitable for me. Max has too big a learning curve lol.
