Scorpion5,
well, I've got Maxwell, long as scene is simple it's pretty fast, but when it's complex...

This was done before the model was UVMapped, properly textured etc, and just a model render, not a proper scene , done in Maxwell (form Rhino).
So gives you an idea what's possible. But Maxwell is an expensive renderer, that's all it is, render engine, not a scene builder (well you can import items into maxwell Studio, but it's not like Vue etc)

it's an "unbiased" render engine.
