    Keith,

    For us Chief users that are not as savvy as some of the render kings on this post ( you guys know who you are!!) can you please post some renders done by chief engineers so we can compare what X2 render did and compare it to x3?

    I think this would give those of us who arent as familiar with the renders an idea of how much of a difference the new render is.

    Im sure the render experts can see a differences but for those of us who cant see the small differences since were not as familiar, I really think a render of both x2 and x3 would go a long way in helping us see the differences.

    Thanks.

    Here's an example. The first image is POV. The second is Chief X3 Ray Tracer. I don't think POV holds a candle to the X3 ray tracer.

    The third image is what I did in X3 after a little redecorating.

    Susan,

    Please describe "redecorating". IT looks a lot different than the first two.

    I changed colors, added plants, changed the dining room set, added some art to the walls, added some attractive pendant lights over the island, elongated the pendant light over the dining room, changed the back splash material, added some accessories, and toyed with the lighting a little bit.

    Not bad, counter needs work to look real. Stainless is not good. But overall looks like improvement over X2
