      Hello,
      I don't know how I got to SU but I love it.
      But I still don't want to pay 450 $ for it. πŸ˜‰
      I'm using Maxwell Render at the moment (ofc the free version πŸ˜„ ) but then I
      found the website of LuxRender and read that the software is free 😍
      I looked at some of the renders, some of them were very realistic, too. (Not as good as Maxwell full version, but wayne)
      And when I render with the free version of maxwell there is always that big watermark and (I don't know if I did something wrong) the colours were not as good as in the picture I saw at the Maxwell website.
      So Im thinking of using LuxRender.
      Is anyone using LR and could tell me if it's a good rendering engine?

        This probably isnt very helpful, but you might want to have a look at indigo render, quite similar to maxwell in principle, but a different interface that some like a lot. Can produce some very good stuff, as well.

          Wow, thanks.
          Looks a lot better than most of the LuxRender ones.
          Is there a good photo tutorial like
          http://www.3d-software.ch/fileadmin/pdf/SketchUp_Maxwell_Tutorial/tutorial_sketchUp_maxwellrender.pdf this one?
