A "Raw" rendering Comparison

[dale]

Although I have used SketchUp for quite some time, I am brand new to rendering. I have been playing with Kerkythea, Renditioner (eval version), and SUPodium (eval version).
I thought I would post a comparison of a rendering from the three software. I realize this is not a very scientific comparison, but though it would invite comment as to where one goes from here, in terms of making better renderings from the "Raw" SketchUp information the software uses to process the images.
Some more information:

All were rendered from the same SketchUp model, which is posted from a screenshot.

Renditioner- Presentation Mode- Hazy Sky- Sketchup Colors- Render time 38s

Kerkythea- Only Sketchup materials untweaked- Render Time 48s

SUPodium- Exterior .xml - Render Time 39s

you should tweak AT LEAST the glass material.

Yes, you are right, it certainly wasn't giving Kerkythea a chance, but considering I didn't even know how to tweak the glass when I posted this morning, I'm coming along.
