Very valid questions, I was about to ask basically the same ones,plus how does it compare to octane render(stand alone and plug in to poser),I have basically given up on octane because of the extra time it takes to re-edit textures and plus my graphics card runs out of memory.Plus, what is its speed like, i dont want to wait 20 hours for a nice a4 sized shot,about 20 minutes is about where i run out of patience-poser firefly does the trick for me, so can reality/lux do this in a similar time frame?
