Hi. The 20 times faster rendering is referred to the previous version of Reality. The program is an actual stand-alone application that connect with Poser via a plugin interface that I have co-designed with Smith Micro and that they implemented in Python. The program is distributed with its own installer that installs all the necessary files in the right locations. The installer basically asks you where Poser is installed, and it will make a good guess on its own.

Reality gives you a separate rendering system and yes, it is only $49.95.The program will run the renderer in parallel to Poser so that you can go back to work in Poser while the rendering runs. You can stop the render and resume it even days later. There all kind of materials and they are all strictly Physics-based and unbiased.

Rendering can be done with the CPU, all cores are engaged and wit the GPU.

StudioArtVartanian, one of the most well known vendors here at Renderosity gave it 5 stars, see the review: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/upgrade-to-reality-4-2---poser-edition/107753/

Hope this helps.
