Blendr is good if you can get your head around it.

What are you looking to render?

Stuff I've built in Sketchup. Sketchups rendering seems a bit basic.

I would try Blendr or Kerkythea then.

Bit of a steep learning curve but you can get some good results.

Biggest problem I have is getting the correct file type to import, but I am exporting from Creo, which is notorious for not playing nice with any other software.

Many of the big softwares have free licenses for non commercial uses. It's worth checking on the autodesk website.
Otherwise blender would be a good alternative.

I've downloaded Blender. It imported from sletchup no problem using 3ds file format. Going to have to plod through a lot of tutorials though 😌

Don't you mean shallow learning curve?
