Oh the difference 7 1/2 months, 600 plus renders, several newer versions of lux & getting better at adjusting materials & lighting can make.

I went through an old 500G external drive yesterday and found some old scenes I had backed up.

Boom, Paolo, Micheal & possibly Reggie & James were around and may remember this scene driving me ape sh*t because renders would take me 3 days with this room.

Well this is after 10 MINUTES! with lux 1.1 (I would render it to term but have commish projects I need to render before I go out of town on Sunday)  Needless to say I am gald my perseverance & the help of you great folks has paid off. So many thanks!
