this thread could be getting a lot of traffice because there are a lot of people looking for a good way to do renderings on DataCAD, and haven't found it. The rendering options currently available are great for study models or to show clients, but nothting for print without a lot of post rendering work.
If someone can prove me wrong, please do so. i haven't spent much time with any of the rendering programs in DataCAD. You can visit my gallery for a couple renderings I've done using a DataCAD model in trueSpace. Those are not my best examples, but they are something to see.
I'm not against O2C or any other product DataCAD has used, they just haven't been very usefull to me.
perhaps DataCAD LLC can provide a rendering package ad-on to expand DataCAD, much like Vis or 3DS on the AutoDesk side.
