Does anybody know a software that can help us with "3D Model showing shadows at noon on winter solstice, to show views receiving direct sunlight" requriement? Has to be simple for use by novices and hopefully, a free program downloadable from the Internet.

Ecotect (autodesk) is your best bet. Very easy to use if you have some experience in 3D modeling. If I remember well there is a 30day free trial.

You could also use free Google Sketchup.

Just to double check, is google sketchup accepted as a good shadow render?
