Was going to post this too, hence the grammatically incorrect "are" in the post earlier.  I feel like I may have posted this here already though, so if I did, sorry:

Also, besides the fact the code isn't done yet so things will likely change anyway, my render times shouldn't be too indicative of anything. I am running a first generation i7. Really should upgrade at some point.

I really like the materials, reflections and such but isn't this a little grainy? Is it a limitation of the technology? I have the same exact problem with Iray, everything comes out grainy. Reality renders I've seen also have the same problem. I hoped this wouldn't be the case here as well but I guess it's just the way it works. To be honest I prefer Firefly results to both the new renderer and DS but that's just a personal preference.
