Does anyone have comparative render images to show the real life improvements ARX have over standard Pro/Photorender? That is apart fromimproved scene setup advantages etc.
I always have to spice up my Pro/Photorender images afterwards in Photoshop for best results. (Improve contrast, saturation, sharpness, fix buggy pixel scatter etc)
For the price of ARX, I could buy something like Autodesk Viz (3DS Max lite) or Maxwell Render. The only down side of course is that you lose associativity when exporting STL files for importing into Max. But I would still rather do this to get a "industrial design" look in my renders...
I'm not bashing PTC products, merely trying to have constructive discussions which may lead to software improvements of ARX and Photorender. (eg. after 20 000 people petitioned on a Dell forum, Dell was prompted to start shipping some of their PCs with Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows!)
