as far as i know you cannot directly link revit models into a external renderor. you have to export out as a dwg or other to utilize a different renerdering engine such as max, viz, etc.

i don't do a lot of rendering other than with Revit. most people use max or viz. but i'm sure there are others.

i think if you are more interested in haveing materials export and carry over, you should check the polymesh option when exporting. hopefully someone else can shed more light on this subject for you?

 HTH

I use Maya 7.0 and below as these versions import DWG fine, then you just texture away and create your own scene using your own lights etc. revit rendering is bad, Max,Maya & Viz are the best for rendering.

 

if you wish to keep your own revit textures applied to your model than Viz would be the way to go.

hope this helps
