Ben you can also post it on the Podium forum... Ideally would like to see the file as well...

Thanks for the comments.I will go with Nvidia.

Thanks for reply. My gutts are telling me the same, but would really like to hear from the people who have any of these cards.

Could anyone tell me any experience with this particular card 1GB ATI Radeon 3870 X2
or even better with this Dell configuration XPSTM 630 . Optional card is 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2

Any comments would be appreciated, as I am about to buy.

Thank you

Hahaha.... Great stuff Chris . I wonder what is K saying on all of this

Good news ....seems also slightly faster than Windows Podium....

You can't use mat definitions from other renders.

Wow... This is a very good news.

Like it a lot.Nice renders, Zaha like form ....even that glossy surface looks like hers..

Cheers Edson

Soory for digression but do you have the link for the toolbox.

Sorry for not replying earlier. You can use http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/ freeware to manipulate your .hdr. Quite easy soft to use.

If you save render as .hdr you can get more out of it in postprocessing.

Fantastic tools.. Thanks very much.

I would suggest you try noisy and let it run. Your scene would be best suited for it.

nice render...Is that Peter Zumthor?

Very cool Pete.
