Hi Mustang2011

 

Well I can personally vouch for your willingness to share information and I was also impressed with your use of Reality as shown in your gallery.  I also share your concern with some of the responses, not that I think anyone is being malicious, I think they are trying to help going on about the render times being long may well put others off.  Luckily for me the time to do a render has never been a high priority.

You are of course right that each artist is different and that what suits one will not suit others.  It is a good idea to try different things to see what does suit you but that can lead to an expensive mistake.  The combination of Luxrender and Reality would appear to be one of the most cost effective ways of trying something different.

I have tried Luxrender in the past and I did like it but could not get my head around the export process, more my limitation than anything else.  I tried Reality to see if it was easier and it is.  I have been using it for less than a week so I have yet to do more than scratch the surface but already I really like the renders I am able to produce.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
