      No idea what version of SimLab you installed but I am using 11.0.46 and it seems to handle current SU files just fine. Here is a test render of a SU object. Inserted into SL, applied 2 materials and hit the render button and 2.5 min later...

            Have a look at those offered in free or with a hobby version. Go from there when ready. TM is fine but like all render programs, you need to carefully check required hardware BEFORE the point of any sale.

              Correct about TM it is free but as ti the computer requirements which are now over the top as far as CPU/GPU combinations go GTX cards are no longer supported by TM Only RTX cards and some of the higher end AMD's. And 8 GB of vram or the program will not let you play at all.

                  Can I assume you are not using path tracing?

                        @ Liam I don't use the path tracing...in fact even not to try it because i don't need it...all is yet existing before is largely enough for me! πŸ˜„

                          Ah, understood, I missread you prior reply, my bad. In that case I am in agreement that TM coud be a good option for a new to rendering person because of the easy to learn UI and zero cost πŸ‘
