When I get around to doing a HDR spherical of my shop / studio I hope the shadows will be better. For now I will be happy to use a shot of my backdrop. Several people thought it was real, so I guess it is OK!

Very clean. Great image.

Thanks. It would have taken hours to do it in my old renderer, and even then it would not have looked anywhere near as good. That this was a first attempt speaks to the potential! Just in the materials/ texture assignments, the interface blows away NuGraf. Now I know it will not be an ordeal to render, I can offer this type of image to my customers to get a good idea of what to expect.
Excellent - I love hearing these stories!!
