Let me try this again- sorry for the first gibberish that came out...

Does any one know if there are some high quality rendering/ solid modelling
packages that will run on the Mac?

Two very important criteria are that the package should:

* Be able to deal with varying degrees of reflectivity and varying degrees
  of transparency of objects.

* Be able to use AutoCad IGES or DXF files.

A robust ray-tracing feature able to deal with say, multiple internal
reflections within transparent objects would also be nice, although not
necessary.
