I like your Vue-illustration. It’s very realistic. As you say, there’s a huge difference between what you can render with a free open source program and what you get from an expensive program like Vue. I have looked at a demo on youtube and seen what can be created with it.
SH3D is surely no competitor to Vue, and neither is Thea, but nevertheless, I find some of your renderings made with sh3d and Sunflow to be quite close.

...this forum is for the SH3D / Sunflow configuration, and that's the combination I will stick to on this forun; showing what I can do with this combination.

Well yes, I get your point. The GalleryShare your snapshots made with Sweet Home 3D here “.
In essence (apart from creating walls and rooms), sh3d is not a modelling program, and only let’s you furnish a scene with objects created with other programs. So I guess you are right in presuming the Gallery is meant for sh3d snapshots, which also is understandable.

BTW: I found a nice free 3D model of waves here:
https://www.turbosquid.com/Search/3D-Models/free/wave. It’s not rendering quite as nice as yours, it seems, but that might of course be a result of my quite mediocre skills.
