Just for fun I was playing with Thea a bit this afternoon. I might have to purchase this render software its really quite nice:

Does anyone have a better wood grain or color to use when rendering lumber? As you can see the striations don't really line up with the direction of the lumber.

As for wood grain, easiest way is to do texturing inside SU (for me anyway), and then use Thea to render.
I would then use IBL (Some studio setup HDRI) + SUN button for light and Ground button to have base plane for shadows,and all this takes 10 min to setup.
My biased opinion is to go and buy Thea, it is one great product with +5 integration with SU.

Hi, since you run layout locally, you should ask your sys-admin to see if something went wrong with rights/rules for user/groups on disk/folder/subfolder on server where your files are stored.

How about that Trimble or Epic make Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for programmers time and make direct workflow form SU to U4 and create UV feature?
