    i've heard on the paintball forums POV-ray.... not sure the quality, or how to use it, but a name is better than nothing.

    As has been mentioned Cinema4DCE can produce some very nice renders, get it on the coverdisk of this months 3D World magazine.
    Free ( well, sorta..) , legal, easy to use, great results, keep away from the area shadows button unless you have a very fast system though.. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Other free options...

    a)Del mentioned POV-Ray, which can produce great stuff, personally I found it a little baffling to set up. Maybe I'm just thick.

    b)Blender3d has a pretty decent renderer, but most people find the interface confusing and weird, also the file formats are very restrictive.

    c)OpenFX has rendering capability.

    d)Wings3d has a very basic openGL renderer, but you can install Yafray as a plugin, which is a lot better.

    Personally I'll be sticking with C4D until I get a comp that can run XSI..

    1) brazil is down, you cant get it right now (last i checked)
    2) blender is fairly good but can only import autodesk/cad files
