I've got Maxwell renderer (now at verison2) which I use when modelling in Rhino, produces fantastic results as it's unbiased but even with V2 and jsut simple scenes compared ot a forest for exmaple, Maxwell is slooooow just like Vue is ;)

 

and yeah, holy crap has CPU power improved!! think first Bryce render I did on a Pentium I or II, which is probably not nearly as powerful as some of the mobile phones today, never mind PC CPUs! :P

Volumetric renders could take DAYS, I think one took a week, and that's at 800x600 and none of the fancier stuff we have now.
