      Yes, Yafaray is very cool, Lux render a little bit more difficult to master and blender internal render is great too.

          Don't forget that Blender has some great free render software too. Luxrender, Yafaray, POV, and others, though they are not working in 2.5 or 64 bit Blender yet. I just do my modeling in 2.5 and then export to 2.49 for rendering.

                    That I remember of the interest of internal Blender render engine for owner as me of very old computer(more 8 years old) is that 😄
                    SU pluging render = 3 minutes
                    Blender render = 7 seconds! 😉

                      Nice work there REGIS and Pilou! The house looked very nice, maybe add some depth of field or something 😄

                      As for the lighthouse, very artistic. But not realistic, but I don't think that's what you were aiming for, so good job as well!

                        Hi

                        @ ~GoldenFrog®~

                        Thanks !
                        Glad you liked it 😄

                        You're right, it's more artistic render than photo realistic render ! Some details are missing here and there and I think I've lot of things to learn to get nice photorealistic result too but I'm happy with this render.

                        This one is my first architectural project done in Blender.
                        It do the job nicely, at the same time, it's a real project that started about two months ago and I'm dealing with the Kitchen now.

                        Perhaps I go with Yafaray for interior render.

                        Let's see

                        Cheers

                          Hey REGIS, might wanna check out Blenderguru. He has a tutorial for realistic kitchens. Link: http://www.blenderguru.com/create-a-realistic-kitchen-part-1-of-2/ This is part one of two, the second part deals with rendering.

                            Indeed, I know Blenderguru's tutorials. ☀

                            I'm dealing with designing the kitchen, modeling is not so difficult.

                            Cheers

                                Hey m' mate! Very very nice render. I like it a lot. Nice work, I like the material settings you have there. Possibly make the sim higher res (Not the picture size, but the fluid res) because I can see the polygons 😄 Nice work again though 😄

                                  Thanks! I made the bowl aswell, its on my channel. Thanks! Ill keep that in mind! Maybe Ill do a subsurf on the Fluid and rerender it. I just dont like the fact that blender doesnt have a "line" tool XD

                                            I must say, I'm incredibly impressed by Blender. After downloading it a couple of years back, Blender's interface completely baffled me- actually it still does confuse me somewhat now and then, but considering Blender is free, I think that is a small price to pay.

                                            I'm posting this to help keep an eye on the developments going down here on SCF. I've also been following some tutorials on...ahem...BlendUcation (!), but there's some good stuff there as well. This was the best beginners tutorial I've found yet;
