Re: Adding realism through plugins or alternate rendering engines

yea, i agree Swando. The only two third party renders i know are FinalRender and Brazil r/s. The problem with that is you have to use the lights they provide in order to achieve a more realistic scene with their renderer. With the PCs we have now, using Max5's Raytracer would take much longer for us to render.
Also, lighting and type of textures are important factors in making a scene more realistic. Raytracing only works with photometric lighting and raytrace mats (correct me if i'm wrong).
This is important to discuss when our animation team meets.
