I just wanted to chuck in that if you know what you're doing, you can
match the big-name renderers with Truespace's. One of the best renders
I've seen in ages was in the TS gallery this month (Johan Zijffers) that
was done with TS4. He just rendered smart. A lot of the time, that's
what produces good results- not the super high-end renderers.
