I have no image to include at this time, but I can say I have rendered images of both the exterior and interior. Unless you build your house, then convert it to the vertex room for finishing, you're stuck with the ArchiBasics. Example: I needed to input a barn style loft door in a 2 story barn, but ArchiTools didn't (that I could find) have a way to put a door or window into the pitched loft, so I did all I could with the tool set then converted to the vertex. Once you convert the vertex room, you can't go back. I wish there were more preset shaders and windows/doors for Architools. I purchased Veloute' just for that purpose, but haven't had time to play around with it yet. As for the interior, I found setting up cameras and lights to be easy, and shading words just like shading domains for the walls, floor, etc. If you want trim, you'll have to do it yourself. R
