LuxRender

I just discovered this new open source 3d render called LuxRender. With an inexpensive plug-in for DAZ 3d Studio called Reality I have been able to create some pretty amazing pictures. One of the interesting things about LuxRender is that it never stops rendering. In theory you could let it go on forever and it will keep working to improve the image.

You can save an image at any time while still letting it work on the render. On the down side it can take it a while to produce a smooth image. This image was taken at the 25 hour mark, even thou you could see where it was going at the 15 min mark. There are things I can do to help get the render times down, I am still learning at this point, and the community that created LuxRender is still working to improve things on their end. All in all I am very impressed.

To finish up, here is another image I have just completed.
