That Rendering does look nice.
Can you tell us what graphics card you have?
I upgraded from a low end OEM Nvidia card a while back to a pretty much entry level AMD Fire Pro V4900 to enable Real View but I don't think I know what I'm doing in setting up the perimeters. My models, mostly in aluminum come out very reflective with white out surfaces and very shinny black surfaces when I turn real view on.
I like your idea for giving clear material a pale blue appearance. I am currently working on a turn signal lens that I want to machine a mold for and cast. I tried your pale blue appearance and it looks much better on screen :-)
I need to spend some more time playing around with Real View settings for sure.
