looking for the right shadow renderer...

So far, I have done most of my modeling in Matlab and IDL, but for complex 3D scenes, I need a flexible 3D renderer that would allow me to create intricate 3D detail and cast realistic shadows.

As I am fairly comfortable with C++, I am drawn to one of the incarnations of Open Inventor, although it may be overkill. Any other suggestions?
