Rendering Styles Similar to Lumion

Hi, I have become enamored with the output from Lumion that I have seen working as an exhibit designer.  I have been rendering using Renderworks for 8 years and have overall been happy with the results.  Where I get frustrated is when I start to add realism such as glows, lighting, reflection, bump.  I certainly expect the rendering time to increase, but I've had renderings take 20 + hours.  I am tweaking certain settings to speed things along, but timing seems to be an issue.  

From what I've understood from forums and word of mouth, Lumion is a great, intuitive rendering solution that tends to put out fairly quick renderings that are equal to greater in quality than renderworks.  I am sure mouch of this comes down to program aptitude, but it led me to investigate further.  I didn't make it far before I learned Lumion is ONLY PC based.  Our office is 100% mac and not going anywhere else anytime soon.

Has anybody figured out ways to render images that have a certain watercolor effect similar to Lumion's Color Sketch style?  Additionally, has anybody found another program similar to Lumion that is operable on Macs?

 

Thanks,

 

Gregg
