How did I miss this?
I have tons of output. All very weird stuff but lots none the less.
When I get time I'll fire them up here.

This is a WIP for a professional work. It hasn't cooked enough and the tonemapping is weird now that I look at it. I will publish the full stuff on Sketchucation's Thea forum later.
Now that I think of it, in this house I tried to use skatter to spread dirt on the roof and walls, no success with the walls because I found that skatter doesn't skatter on vertical planes. I would skatter stones, plaster falling, broken tiles, cracks dirt, moss, grafitti, scratches and similar stuff on walls if I had the chance. When I tried this I was using glued and cuthole components. Even windows would be nice to skatter on some sorrounding buildings façades to add some "fake realism" on those othewise dull blocks...
Would you consider it?

Nice render Ted, I'm wondering if will there be a version of vray with faster parsing comming soon... At the moment it's quite hard to use vray with skatter for large areas. Takes too long to parse the scene...I've been using thea for some time for scenes like this and it's quite impressive. Some scenes that vray takes 2 min to parse thea takes 1 or 2 seconds...

I totally agree. I think this is the single area where Vray could improve by a massive magnitude. The fact that we see waaaaay faster parsing times for other engines means that's it's possible.

Hope they listen to us! I really love v-ray but after using thea, I think vray has a lot to improve, in many areas...

Orange shag is always classy...especially in a bathroom.  Skatter support will be available in Twilight Render Pro in the next release.
