I let this render overnight as I slept.
Hey Lamont, not trying to undermine your work, but 8 or 10 hours to end up with such a render is a joke (and a complete waste of time).
I repeat, better renders can be more easily achieved with DAZ or POSER that seem to be much more user friendly programs.
I much prefer this render:
which I guess, has been made with REALITY 2.5.
I fully understand your interest in REALITY: I myself jumped on REALITY 3 as soon as I discovered its promotional renders - they do look out of this world, as you can check here: http://preta3d.com/reality-gallery/
Still, lets compare:
this car has been rendered with POSER:
that one with REALITY:
Not much difference in quality, eh?
So, after having spent a few hours working with REALITY 3, I've come to the conclusion that those promo renders are a "con":
It looks like they have been made by experts who fully master the program(the lights are particularly hard to understand and set up) with VERY powerful machines.
So unless you are ready to buy a very expensive pc and invest countless hours trying to get to grips with the complexities of REALITY, this program is a waste of time.
Just my 2 cents.
