looked at a demo on youtube and seen what can be created .. no competitor .. some of your renderings made with sh3d and Sunflow to be quite close.

I concur, I think. Yes, the demo is astonishing, but what is more remarkable to me, are the illustrations Cec has created with SH3D/Sunflow. Which proves
1) the strength of SH3D/Sunflow combined with ease of use,
2) that it is not only a question of software, but the skill with which it is used.

Thanks for the thread and posts, though, even if I would not aspire to (or need) such beautiful renderings, they are still a delight to watch.
