I finally downloaded the R8.5 demo and tried it tonight. It's a pity that it's not a full demo where it will let you save anything for so many days. Anyway, I loaded the barstool scene and adjusted the render to use radiosity but found it was way too bright and had to turn off all my lights and turn the brightness on the radiosity control way down too but then I let it go for a while and it came out really nice. I had to go and compare it to the output from CE 6 and now I want 8.5 even more. :P Look at the blue base, it looks so wonderful in 8.5 compared to CE 6. Same texture between the two. gidgit, I could not find any info on version 9 so I think I'm going to get the academic version of 8.5 instead of wait unless there is info that you can point me to as to when 9 might be coming out.
