Yes, you're right. In fact I also own a license of the very good Thea Render
that I use for true photorealistic renderings, thanks above all to its wonderfull unbiased engine.

But with my actual config (the best that I can have for the moment), true photorealistic renderings take too much time,
even if with the Thea Render's presto CPU+GPU engine the overall quality of renderings its quite good with a decent amount of time.
(My actual config is Clevo Laptop i7 4790K 4.4 Ghz, 32 Gb Ram, SSD 512 and fair good but not so powerful and modern Nvidia Quadro K3100M 4GB).


But I must say that PBR engines really impressed me because they're getting better and better.

Anyway...see you and have a nice day!
