The only thing in Alibre Professional that I can use that I don't have in Basic is rendering. My boss won't part with $500 so that I can make my designs look "pretty".
Is there another option for rendering in Alibre that is cheaper?
If he does not want to spend the money for Pro or for the individual module, you can submit a bid to the consultants for your occasional need. http://www.alibre.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=24
And - don't forget to provide some idea of what materials will be for each part! ( Alibre Photorender )
Also - for some variations of materials, backgrounds, and viewing angles available as results - see my Alibre Photorender Samples
