of course. Everything in this game is subjective, isnt it, just like the old addage of what is better, Maya or Max blah blah... this could go round in circles LOL

Yeah it does displacements frightenly fast. the problem with mental ray it retesselates the geometry before the render, which is where the hiccups start. Its just very fussy. One of my colleagues here at work is a bit of a render fiend. He did a test with 4 lots of renderers with the same scene. 3Delight was at 30secs, renderman at 42secs, I think he said vray was a minute and a half and old MR was a staggering 48 minutes yes thats minutes.

Having used both Im currently with Rman, and am actually saving the bucks for it here at home.

I do actually recommend 3Delight as the architecture is like rendermans - and its free to use!!
