Well.. sorry for the venom.  I saw you coming in defending the d-bag from rdna and I slipped into that "friend of my enemy is my enemy" state.

If you help maintain the wiki, I've read the wiki on connecting to AWS with lux within the Linux environment.  I've successfully connected to and used AWS in the windows environment using remote desktop.  So far, in the four search engines I use; I've not found one tute on it.  So, I made a video tute on how to do it and posted it here on Rendo.

We here, in this thread love Reality and whether it's called a plug-in, interface, materials editor, render engine, or super-duper-extra-shiny-moon-cargo-sailboat; KNOW what it is and what it does.  Most of us here too are rather appreciative of the work that Paolo puts in on Reality and assisting it's users and the massive hours he puts doing so.

I saw a post on rdna(can't remember who posted it) saying that it would be sad for someone to go into SIGGRAPH, who didn't know what poser, dazstudio, blender, carrara, etc were; would be confused by the wording.  I, for one, think that if they were at that show and didn't know any of the apps that use reality or luxrender, they were SERIOUSLY in the wrong trade show.
