Can your free renderer do this?

When considering renderers free and commercial, users have many options. In this article I will make my case why SimLab Composer Lite is the best free renderer for CAD and 3D?

After installing SimLab Composer, start it, and you will be faced with licensing options, ignore everything and click start Lite edition. SimLab Composer Lite will start, no trial, no email info or registration, simply install and start.

What does SimLab Composer Lite provide me with?

Do I need to upgrade my free renderer?
