I'd like to try rendering stuff

Yes, you do have to enable photoworks, but its quick and easy.
- While in SolidWorks, go to the tools menu, and click Add-ins.
- Click the checkbox next to photoworks (and if you want it to run every time you run solidworks, click the checkbox on the right as well)
This will enable:
- A new tab in the left column with material and environment options and such
- A tab in the right browser with info about different materials
- The PhotoWorks toolbar can now be shown by clicking on a blank space on the existing toolbar and selecting photoworks.
You can just play around with it if you like, but I reccomend the tutorials that come with solidworks (Help Menu > Tutorials)
EDIT: M. Krass beat me to it.
