Default Renderer

In WTools3D LWCAD gallery I have seen that Kray render is often used. Can somebody tell me how good it is? Is it "another kind" of FPrime (which I use ...)?

Kray is a third party renderer a lot of people like it, but is is a commercial product (read extra money)

I just wanted to know how good it is. Is it "another" FPrime - or is it useful to illuminate / and render a scene?

That is why I included a link, there is a gallery to see other peoples renders, along with other links for tutorials and other tech specs. What do you consider to be easy? Everyone is different, you might not want to learn another piece of software, you might want to experiment. Myself don't have any experience with it because I don't want to shell out for another renderer, not to mention the one that comes with is very good and is the sole reason some production pipelines use Lightwave. This ones claims it is faster, is it worth the money? That is a good question and even people who might have experience with it might be biased in their opinions, hence I included the link so you could check it out and after doing a bit of research, make a better choice.
