What you say is true. Most of us bought AC as a complete suite and we expected it to do everything for us (and I believe that this is what Grphisoft where aiming at, when they conceived of AC at the beginning)
But intentions are not enough, and all though the presentation tools are there, they are not satisfying for most of us
Well, yes and no. I'm not good enough at all this yet to feel like I've come anywhere near exhausting AC's capabilities, or to understand when a particular result is caused by the software vs my own skills, so I can't really say that I'm unhappy with AC's rendering tools, especially now with v10. I was responding in a more generic manner to what I thought was a more generic question.
In any case what I understand from what you are saying; is that you are not happy with the AC rendering tools, but still, you will not invest in a sperate tool for presentation that will alleviate your current pain.
Did I understand you correctly?

And so, let's illustrate this in a metaphor.
We are all going to around in a race truck armed with the latest bicycles, some are a little bit better than others but essentially all bicycles are the same, and now lets say that we can replace our bicycles with motorbikes and shave 90% of our lap time.
Is that worth something? considering it can be done.

I would like to learn a bit more about what will the ultimate rendering engine should be like?
Can you let your imagination fly?
