  Thanks for the great chair.

  Quick question.
  What were those promo shots rendered in?
  Also did you use Dimension Theory's "HDR Pro Sets Urban Recreation"?

  i wrote a script to export Daz Studio scenes to Blender for rendering
  ( http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/2877/ )

  i rendered the images in Blender with the Cycles renderer, which is similar to LuxRender Octane etc...

  the HDR images come from http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html
  Blender/Cycles accepts images mapped as "equirectangular" (almost a 360 panorama)

  one of the images used was the "Spherical Map a.k.a. Lat/Long" map from here: http://www.blochi.com/gfx/hdri/
  though i think i used a jpg version of it instead of the .hdr

  welcome

  and, great render :)

  in blender cycles i don't get enough soft shadows like that

  but in a recent render i added a large AreaLight and it came out good

  i'll try again ... and include the special secret prop ...

  ... well there are some shadows, but i'd need more shadow-casting objects and less reflective surfaces that accept shadows :)
