  From what I've heard there are plenty out there, we've only really tried Solidworks' Photoview 360 and Keyshot. Both are really good. Photoview 360 has the option of decals you can apply on your models otherwise we'd use Keyshot with everything else, it does a great job at producing photo-realistic renders. From personal experience we'd say keyshot will run on any current PC.

     Yeah, keyshot have that advantage since It's A cpu based software.

     I've seen videos of fryrender, twinmotion, Bunkspeed and others and they are all very good.

  For the best in photography realistic renderings, I think that Maxwell Render is the best. Else Photoview and Keyshot are good and fast , specially Keyshot. for instant rendering.
  No opinion about animation, I had never used the function.

     I saw some videos maxwell and it seemed pretty good.
     but it is not a more lighting dedicated software?

  It has to be 3D's Max and Maya for outstanding visual effects but one small problem with them software's are the interface and the time it takes to set the sense up then you render it out only to find out it was not the effect you are looking for. On the other hand you have Keyshot - My opinion the best there is on the market for someone that does not know much about materials lighting and everything else you would need to know to produce a great render it also has the benefit of the interface being one of the most user friendly I have ever come across in any render software. The speed that you can get that perfect render from and the many great quick tips and tutorials Keyshot has on there web site. If you were to put your money into anything in my opinion Keyshot it as the top of the tree.

     i totally agree with you.
     What about fryrender and twinmotion... ever tried those?
     At least both appear to be good and show great results

     Fryrender that is the render engine for poser is it not or is it firefly? Hmmm can't remember but if so I have played with that nice but basic I have never heard of twinmotion :( might need to go have a little look @ what it can do.... but being an Auto desk user and getting my software for free from Auto desk it will take a lot for a software to be able to pull me away from my 3D's max LoL'ss and the only one that has done it so far is Keyshot :P

  Maxwell sits on top but takes 4 times as long to achieve the same result.

  Gonna throw Modo into the mix. Maybe a tad larger learning curve than Keyshot or BunkShot...BUT can achieve and go much further in the end.

     I have heard about maxwell and saw some pictures showing the result... it is pretty nice but the interface is not much intuitive as the keyshot

  Keyshot. KS V3 pro also has an option for animation and adding decals in KS3 is much easier compared to KS2. :)
