After a long absence, I decided to return to working with Reality / Luxrender. I missed the flexibility that it provided, as well as the superior lighting that can be accomplished. After being less than impressed with the last couple of versions, I thought it was time to give the latest iteration another shot. I have to say that I am much happier with the results I was able to achieve this time. In keeping with the idea of returning... I decided to dust off some half completed projects that I just wasn't happy with. I knew my displeasure with the scenes was due to how Iray was handling them. Having been previously spoiled with Luxrender, I knew what could be possible.
