Open Source 3D Rendering Engine for Maya and 3D Studio Max (and others too)
Have been looking online for quiete a while for a reliable and simple 3D Rendering Engine to deploy at the University I work at. Apparently Ogre 3D is the right solution for this. From testimonials it seems easy enough to use and is compatible with several systems including Maya and 3D Studio Max. Other supported systems are Google SketchUp, Blender, Wings 3D, LightWave, RenderMonkey, and others…
Here is the homepage of the project:
http://www.ogre3d.org/
And here is a list of exporters for your favourite 3D Modelling Software:

It will be tested shortly!
More Coming on this!
Happy rendering!
