Quote - Yes, Reality is on my wishlist.. but I just can not justify another purchase for DS until I actually am comfortable in the program enough to get a render that at least looks like I have some basic idea of how to use it..LOL  Or at least that is what my husband keeps telling me

LOL, yeah, I know the feeling.  The one nice thing about Reality, though, it that you can start the render and then move on in D|S to setting up the next one.  When I'm doing promos, I find that a valuable option. 

But, the bottom line is simple.  When I'm creating promos, Vex lights are my goto lights.  Renders are done quickly with a professional look.
