I have no idea what a "trial" renderer is, but I know a few 3D renderers:

OpenKýbl3DMap (web) converts OSM data to .pov files which can be rendered by POVRay
OSM2World (web) converts OSM data to .pov files, .obj files (for modellers like Blender), or renders .png files directly through OpenGL
Glosm is a hardware-accelerated OpenGL-based viewer/renderer
OSM-3D (web) is an interactive virtual globe. The viewer and protocol documentation are freely avaliable, but afaik the backend is not.
OSM2XP (web) creates scenery for the commercial flight simulator XPlane

1	I am not sure what the word "trial" in your question means, but using http://www.povray.org/ should work. Instructions for OSM here. I am sure there are more. answered 12 Sep '11, 19:05 LM_1 3.3k●33●51●88 accept rate: 10%
