LOL...never tried Reality, either 1 or 2. And it's Luxrender that's the fine renderer - not Reality. Reality is just the bridge from DS TO Luxrender. Just throwing that out there ;). It's a pet peeve....lol. Neither Paolo nor Daz makes it clear either that Reality does zilch in the way of rendering, yet I see every damn image of those who used the bridge say "Made with Reality". Grrrrrr.

As for the quality of the renders I guess it's like anything else - it comes down to the skill of the person doing the rendering. Material choices, light placement, scene setup, etc. I have Luxrender images in my own gallery here, though I've never touched Reality and don't use DS. I use Poser with the Pose2Lux script by Snarlygribbly.

Ok, off me soapbox now...lol.
