I think overall it looks really good, though I think the rusty parts looks overdone and too artificial and even. Make the the metal reflections a bit more rougher and maybe add some chipping/worn off bits on parts of the body. I would just check this picture out which is of the model used in the ...

Yep, it was confirmed 2x owners will be able to use the alpha and beta releases of V3.

So this means it won't possible to update when the initial V3 is released. Only an upgrade from V2 will be possible then.

Hi

Will I still be able to upgrade from V1 to V2 when the next major release is out?

WOW . Really impressive and clean as well. How many samples did this render to, any idea?
Also what kind of render time would you likely get with Pathtracing or PMC, just out of interest?

Light source is a black body emitter material on a rectangular face that is up inside the light fixture.
In that case what you can try is apply a pure black material to the inside and make it a passive emitter ( turn of cast illumination ) and you should get a much better result with less noise ...

Are those objects a solid surface with a separate material for the light at the bottom or is the light source contained inside a hollow shape.

Will it be possible for some V3 features to make it in as well.

wow . pretty amazing renders
