      @ Dylan.. its with photoshop. i think zem had a tutorial on how to combine render image and su render image. i just improvised his technique. anyway the main principle is to export an image using style and a render image. but the view should be the same. then put them on different layers in photoshop. make the opacity of the top level lesser, so that you can see the bottom level. once the top and bottom layer are alligned, you can make the opacity 100% and play with the top level. in my case i use soft eraser and erase the top level. once satisfied, thats it.

                I think you just said it Sid! 😄

                By the way, imho Podium is easier than artlantis ....but there is rumour that a new Artlantis studio is coming up with better output quality than the old one.....so who knows what the near future brings.

                  to be honest, i havent tried atlantis. but i tried podium since its version 1. i could attest how much it improved and how much easy to set it up and its really joy to do quick thing and with quality images. if you are looking for a software that works hand in hand with SU, i think podium is.

                        it would be nicer if you guys compared the features of Podium vs those of Artlantis.

                          i think im not the right person here to compare atlantis with podium because i have not use atlantis.
                          again just sending both podium and vray render.
                          i choose not to have post process so as to to see the direct ourput from podium and vraysu.

                          http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4951/bet15b1m35suq5.jpg

                          this one is using the jsut release beta1.5B from podium. the rendering time is 1m 35s.

                          http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9226/podiumnightsceneme7.jpg

                          this one is rendered using podium1.4.1 lighted up with pure omni lights.

                          http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/595/drewfinalrj7.jpg

                          and this one is using vray su. the rendering time i think is really fast.

                            Podium speed depends on preset you use. I think first image is really good example how you could test scene and render quickly.Of course you can use .xml preset from 1.4.1 if you wish as well.

                              on the first image i just used the default xml. but after reading more on those presets, i m just really surrise how much podium has openned itself for users to do so more tweakings. the latest beta is just awesome i think.

                                i did this using the shared xml i entitled sepo shared xml. now more light could penetrate inside the room using all these presets. podium is really coming on really fast. the rendered time is 17m and 16s using 100% quality and 100%jagginess 0full blast)size 600X800

                                    +1 !

                                    Great light, a working composition, good use of colour and a niiiiiice soft focus going on 😄

                                    And 17 minutes?....Podium is a fine companion 👍

                                      thanks guys, these new xml presets are just awesome. i particularly like the noisy setting. the calculation is exact. there is really a big improvement from 1.4 to 1.5.
