    Happy with how clean these rendered.

    I switched from Revit to CA a few months ago. All I keep thinking is how I overlooked CA for so long. Revit looks like a Ferrari on the outside, but it is just torn vinyl seats with a towel on the inside. Roof tools are laughable. Custom cabinets? Good luck! Custom stairs? Brick ledges? Roof flares? Frieze boards? Buckle up. Find me one Revit user who loves the family editor! Took me hours to learn how to make a window with adjustable divided lights. File sizes get so huge with every added family which translates to sluggish usage. There's more but my psychiatrist advised me not to dwell on negative thoughts... I did like the align tool in Revit. And the dimension tools worked well.

    Thanks for the link. Seems like I learn something new everyday. Now where is that 2-3 minute render button?

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. Tuned down the focal blur. Still learning vray materials and lighting and trying to keep render times to about 20 min.

    Remodel I am working on. First one rendered in 10 minutes if you can believe that.

    Some great renderings on this thread. I feel like mine are slowly getting better.

    Just FYI, Adobe released Photoshop CS2 as freeware. It's what I use. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/3689-adobe-photoshop-cs2.html

    Sure. I did a multiple pass raytrace in chief architect. I then did a Line Drawing in the same view and exported both images as tiff. Open both images in photoshop. While in the Line Drawing image go to Select>All. Then Edit>Copy. Then go to your raytraced image. Edit>Paste. Photoshop creates another layer stack above the existing layer. With the new layer selected in the layer window there's a dropdown menu that has a default of "Normal." Change this to "Overlay."

    Spent this Saturday building this bath. Exported to 3DSmax extremely well. Converted some of the materials to mental ray. Didn't touch the glass blocks. It imported as it is and I just hit render. Had to add in all of the lights. And final adjustments in photoshop.

    Was experimenting with adding line work over raytraced image.
