Hi Michelle,
V9 does not produce what I would call Photo realistic images. You can get some quite good effects especially if you switch on all the relevant settings (see attached) but if you want really impressive results, you need to upgrade to V11 – it is definitely worth doing even with the current buggy version.
If you want to stick with V9 then I suggest you contact Bill Zielinski (bill@freelancekitchendesigner.com) as he has some tutorials that really get V9 as close as possible to photo realistic (see attached example from his Advanced Render tutorial).
So much depends on using the right surface textures – glossy etc.
You should also go and get the free UNDRGRND catalog as this has very many useful items including invisible, pointable lighting and lots of ‘extras’ to enhance the design.
