    To be honest Podium uses the Kerkythea engine. You are correct in that Podium is easier but I have seen some great results using the SU2K plugin.

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)
