Looks great for a first attempt. Some thinSSS on the plants would look nice, and some variation in the leaf colors. I'd be interested to hear more of
your thoughts actually....what you think were the most difficult parts to adapt in the thinking, moving from other more "traditional" render engines.
Your are correct. Certainly no newbie to rendering. I've been doing this since 1992. 20 years! My shop is cinema 4d (beta testers since 1999) and Vray. Do love the Vray. Here's my company

So, my thoughts are I really like the realism of this renderer. I think i can make the most realistic renders with this. I like the real world attributes. Its just like photography. Unforutunately, photography was never my thing. I sort of get it though, so its coming easily. The materials are something I'm trying to get used to. But it's making sense now after a week.
FIRE is so important. Works well, although, if it was GPU instead of CPU it would be even more real time. How about using both? That would rule.
One thing that blows is crummy Open GL display and crappy texture mapping display. Just like Vray. They should fix this. I hate that.
Another thing, why do I have to login every single time I want to download a texture? Super weird.
Other than these things I'm sold. Love the look of this renderer. It's brilliant. I will use this when I can render overnight every time. Also, Multilight? Seriously? How cool is that? Awesome.
