Hiya, Would it not be another idea to look at the FREE / Open Source physically based and unbiased rendering engine that is LUXRENDER:
http://www.luxrender.net/ As opposed to €795 or so for fry???? Just a thought - I have used this via Blender and its very nice. Its under constant development with new plugs for alot of other apps being developed too, Cheers Aidan On 19 July 2010 19:36, Arjo Rozendaal <arjo.rozend...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > Hi Jason, > > > > I think Realsoft really needs a better render engine.
