Very nice light Stinkie.

Gaius we look at SCF as our sister forum or as we fondly call it Forum Next Door

Thanks Gaiues for the link.
Majid you are very welcome to join us. Looking forward to see more of your posts.

Beutiful images Chris...as usaual.

I stand by my response...absolutely irrelevant. What does this shows is that you are able or rather not able to render with various render engines.

Nice... but go easy on the bumps.

Yes Vray can save alpha image of the render. That is something which is on our to do list in Podium V2

Very nice Nomer. Excellent photo match.

So it is Metropolis Light Transport. Unbiased rendering takes loooong time to render but it should be accurate. You can always use Ninja to remove the noise if you can't wait for overnight render.

It looks a bit noisy. Don't know much about Indigo ....is this MLT ?

yes but you need to reflect something so I would say maybe an image behind the camera or bake reflections in glass. Bumps=bump mapping.That would give more depth to your cladding. I use Kerky not that often so hopefully somebody will chime in with more detailed instructions on how to.

I would say: glass reflections and some bumps. On postprocessing you need a bit more contrast as image is little flat.
edit: also it looks unnatural to have light and light sconces under the canopy on a such bright day

Spence visit us at forum. There will be someone keen to help.

Mac porting is on our to do list.When I can not say though

Just for the record Podium can be faster than Kerky. It depends on presets you use. It is similar to 2 computers using same spec and one is faster than the other. It is all in fine tuning

And I will be first of the last to comment. Amazing renders. The Fryrender really loves you, no doubt. Beautiful images.

Fantastic stuff Chris...

Shame as that would be much more interesting teaser
