	RenderDrive was a tremendous help in creating the look I wanted. Not only does it support accurate depth-of-field rendering, it also supports area lights with ray traced soft shadows. It's like half the tools you need to light an image have been missing form our toolbox for all these years. What a thrill to get them back! - Adam Gravois, Xaos Inc.
