Adam,

In regards to your inquiry, I'd have to say that Artisan is the best choice for smoothing out the curves you already have. There's a bit of a learning curve, and a small price tag, but the results could be stunning. In the future, you can adjust the amount of segments SU uses to draw curves in the user interface. When you first hit the circle or arc command, look at the box at the bottom of the screen and it should tell you how many segments you are drawing with, you can increase or decrease them to suit.

I've been away from Podium for too long to offer much advice with the renders, and many here have better opinions on what to use for a rendering software. I personally use Twilight because the price is right for the amount of options you get, but I'm seriously looking at Thea these days...

Cheers!

This is a great start. Some ways to improve would be to increase your segment count on your curved objects, some of them have sharp corners. I also noticed in one of the interior shots it appears that your floor doesn't meet up with your wall...

What renderer are you using? Is the animation composed with SU native animation tools?

No need to apologize, this is still a quality render, I know it can be quite difficult to please the 'man'... Keep up the good work!

This image looks great! It appears that your light fixtures are not fully recessed into your ceiling though... Also, your background may be a bit too blurry to achieve that photo effect, but a very nice image!

I too wish I had found this thread earlier. Keep up the fantastic work, I look forward to your updates. In regards to your previous question regarding the roof, I believe somewhere they make reference to clay tiles being common on the roof tops. I believe its in 'Going Postal' where this reference is made, as the main character is sneaking amongst the rooftops as an assassin would. Hope this helps, if I come up with something else, I'll let you know.

Here is my attempt to contribute!

Thanks to all for your inspirations!

Solo, that is amazing! You and Oli are truly masters of your craft...
