How good is power render...

I''m looking to buy a 3rd party 3D rendering engine for a demo I will be working on soon. I''m wondering how you all would rate power render. - Installation - Documentation - Initial Learning curve - Ease of use - Speed - Quality - Over-all I''m want to create a 3D RTS type demo (not nealy as complicated as a full game, I just want to play around with the scripting engine I''m building). So I need an engine that can render the terrain and the 3D objects I insert into the world. -Thanks Shaft.

Chris, You mentioned that 3D math is not required. Are there built in collision detection routines somewhere i missed. If not it would seem you would need to know some 3d math to get collision detection working with wall sliding, gravity, etc. Am i missing something?

There are 3 examples of collision detection in the engine:
collide (polytopes), portal (planes), and SimpleLand (BSP).

All of those examples show how to slide along walls and have gravity so the code is already done for you.
