@ Martel Yeah I noticed that after I created the thread saw it against the forum background. It does irk me a bit, especially the second image. Gonna rebalance it. One of the cool things about RS is that the settings are sort of similar to Mental Ray, especially on the arch shader so the transition has been fairly easy. @ Halfloaf I'm on my potato GTX 660 and I'm getting great render times. Turns out GPU rendering is pretty legitimate so I'm looking to upgrade!
