Rendering Inventor files

Whats the best (and free'est) way to get a good rendering of an inventor model. I know about the Save as BMP but they come out very jagged.

If you have any photo editing software like Corel Photopaint, you can
save the assembly out to a BMP. If you expand the Save As dialog box
you can increase the pixels, so you're not limited to your screen
resolution.

Open the BMP in the photo program and reduce the size of image and the
software will reduce the jaggies.

If you Save Copy As, select BMP, then click on Options, you can specify the
resolution.  By default, it's 0x0, which really just means that the
bitmapped image will be created at the same resolution as your graphics
window.  Be forewarned, though - a high resolution BMP file (especially at
32bpp) can be VERY large.  You can always compress it into a much smaller
JPG afterwards, however.

Thanks, never knew about the resolution thing it gets me alot closer to the quality I want, I use Photoshop to edit photos and I messed with the pictures a bit. Brought up the resolution (300dpi) and down the size keeps the picture big but faded this Picture would eventually go onto a brouchure so needs to be preaty good but being able to make the picture bigger really helps.

You can also play with lighting inside Inventor - Format/Lighting.

Mr Bliss and Mr Keller have created a snappy little
routine to save image to a jpeg...
