IMO, I think Paolo will need to be finding different work.  Eventually the lure of a free rendering engine will draw competition.  In this case, at the bottom of the barrel.

**Please understand... I love Reality, and I don't think I'll be changing any time soon. **

**I already do a lot of material editing in Daz before I ever shift over to Reality. ** Mostly I'm tweaking glossiness, utterly altering the material to a Reality shader (not visible in Daz), and dealing with lighting.  Reality does some example mini renders of test materials and I rely on those when I make adjustments.   Otherwise I have no idea how the material will render.

I'm not convinced that I'll get any noticeable improvement in my work flow.  The bulk of my time is back and forth between Lux and Reality over lighting.  Those test renders suck up a lot of my time, and that is a property of Lux, not Reality.

**Lastly, those test renders.... suck. ** I'm not that good, but I'd compete against those renders any day.  They look rushed, and they don't look like the person understood lighting like Paolo does.  I've learned a lot about photography and lighting from Paolo.

Paolo is my hero, and I heartily recommend Reality to anyone that's interested.
