Wegg, if you are satisfied with your render keep using it - no one wants you moving on.
Some people want realism, others speed,... There are render for all taste, pocket and necessities.
Wings3d doesn't have its own render (only an OpenGL "preview"), so if someone wants to produce a good render for his/her project, he/she will need to export the project to an other 3d application with a best render option. Many people already do that, of course.
But, for those ones that don't want or cannot do that, render application like Yafaray and POV-Ray are a good and cheap option.
I'm sure you would like to try Twinmotion®2 (that claim to be a real-time 3D render - see this video), but I'm not sure you would like to pay €2,420 (I'm not).
I also own messiah Studio 5, but I still prefer play with POV-Ray for render static scene (I like to hack its code).
Wings's plugins needs to be improved and tested. That's why I got into to test Yafaray - and for this, we don't need to care about software performance.
We still have some good and free standalone renders that could have an plugin written for Wings3d - someone interested?
LuxRender
3Delight - It's RenderMan compliant, as the PIXIE used by ggaliens. (free, limited to use only CPU 2 cores)
nice fur, isn't it?
and the abandoned - but good photo-realistic render -Sunflow:
