the only render engine results that blows me away is vray. demo reel is gorgeous.

the iray results i've seen are kinda mono looking. all look the same.

i think a lot of the badly lit renders can be blamed on the ambient light being too high. no depth of shading. and not enough caustics renders, even tho is quite a hit to render times. even with 8 cores i don't turn it on for animations ore than 180 frames. >.<

the fake gi does help with render times, but does something wonky to shadows. finding the balance tween results and times is the trick
