That is pretty cool. can check it out the info below about the plugin Aaron.

http://www.suplugins.com/

"The free version will not expire. The free version is exactly the same as the commercial version EXCEPT it only outputs to 230 X 120 and 500 X 500 image resolution sizes."

Aaron, Podium is a rendering application. There's also Kerkythea which is also free with a free exporter and light components. It has no output size limitations and will support multiple scenes and animation.

The photographic look can be nice but in order to make it work right you need to use some very good materials, especially wood grain materials.

I like doing a combination of rendering and line drawings. This is dead simple stuff and quite quick to do.

By the way, it isn't real noticeable but I put a point light source under the near raised desktop to get a little light inside.
