    What type of models are you looking at modeling (interior/exterior or both)?

    abit of everything, i model construction work as conceptural designs i also do my own little projects which can be engineering models etc.

    I am a beginner at rendering, i dont want somthing that will suck me into a deep hole and spend hours on end working out how to use it, Im hoping to find somthing i can start using easily and almost hit a button, and when i understand it more i can start playing with it over time. I just dont have the time at the moment to enter that dark hole at the moment to fully dive deep into it.

        lite = 1920 * 800 so maybe take a previous version 9 (1920 *1040)
        don't take a free trial ... a normal version then when you launch it choose "Demo mode" πŸ˜‰

            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?

                            If you are pathtracing on 2023 could you post your computer specifications? would be interesting to find out what they are.

                              @ 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‘
