Exporting Altium for Photorealistic Renders

I know about CoDesigner for Solidworks and other options.

The STEP file export does a decent job but is missing the silkscreen.

Parasolid export exports everything and may work, but would require quite a bit of work

Does anyone have a workable flow with Solidworks without having to deal with CoDesigner and all that cost that just complicates things?

It's crazy that given the price of Altium they don't give you the ability to just export the files like CoDesigner does so you can import into some 3D renderer.

Maybe the board silkscreen and look can be exported as a high res image and applied as a texture in some application?
