Hello.

Thank you for doing the test and posting your result.

The Reality/Lux image is really not showing what the combination can do. This is, of course, because of the limited experience with the programs. You just need to give yourself more time and become familiar with the Reality materials :).

Here is an example by an expert user:

While the example was created using DAZ Studio, the result shows the level of realism acheievable. Also keep in mind that the version of Reality used is 2, not 3.

Below there is an image made with Reality 2, by Elianeck.

 

Cheers.

Paolo
