Nice image.

Have you tried adding edge lines with the IRender nXt Foreground overlay? Or is it easier with Photoshop.

We are interested in adding more post processing features if you or others can suggest what might be needed.

I saw the edge lines options, but haven't tried it yet. Using the photoshop overlay technique is just an old habit. IRender has been amazing in producing some great imagery, and it's an important step in a more complicated rendering technique. I posted this image since it was closest to a pure IRender image as I usually get. For a design presentation, the render adds the wow, and photoshop/wacom dumbs it down so the client doesn't freak out:

Our foreground effect isolates the edges from SketchUp - remembering any sketchy effects and then superimposes them onto the rendered image as in the rendered image below, but shows it while you are rendering.
