      That was not my intention. I tried to emphasis that render engine comparisons are fairly pointless - but seems to have failed. Anyways what can be done with different render engines is interesting to see, that is what I understood you did, and did it well. But was it interesting to see that small changes in the scene and image cropping can made a huge difference.

        I agree...
        Some images probably could have been improved. I just used the (sometimes limited) knowledge on each render engine I currently have....

          Pardon me kwistenbiebel, but how does it work that the handrails can get left out during export to KT? are they on a different layer?
          To me, they're all nice, all good enough to eat!

              For me, the most relevant piece of information - render time is missing. Fantastic and really interesting comparison, and it shows that all these engines can produce great results. The time taken to get there, including export, setup and render time is possibly the most relevant to anyone wondering which application might be best for them. Makes you wonder how the other SU engines (irender, IDX renditioner and Podium V2 ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) will compare!

                  As a note, this thread is not meant to be a comparison as it was stated in the first post.
                  :('This is not meant as a comparison thread between render engines. Just an exercise on using them.'
                  Looks like some of you are making it into one ... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  I would still love to have this scene... ๐Ÿ˜‰
                  Would it be possible for you to share it, Chris..??

                        You didn't include the render time for Podium.

                          Hi kwistenbiebel,

                          The render with Podium is very nice. Could you tell us please what settings you used on Podium and Sketchup?

                          Thanks a lot

                                If I could get the scene I'd be more than willing to run it through Thea.

                                  I used the default 'thin glass' or 'ghost glass' settings for the single faced glass panels for all render engines except for Indigo where I used a 'glossy transparent' (Indigos thin glass can only be applied to double faced glass).

                                  ..are you sure? I've not neing using TG since a long time, but I remember it is quite straightforward: TG is the perfect material if you want to be sure your glass will render...fine, despite it's a volumetric object or not.

                                  BTW, interesting tests! We can all see that nowadays all the render engines are very good and comparable ๐Ÿ˜‰
