Thanks nruddock and randym77. When I set the shading rate to 0.05 in both the Render Options *and* the individual objects the resolution approaches the P4 resolution. I will try reducing the shading rate further. But what a ball ache! It's bad enough setting the individual shading rate in the 5 boxes, a human figure has about 30 finger joints, not to mention all the other actors. With a few figures in the scene it would take me till christmass to set the shading rate! Is there some setting somewhere to set the default shading rate for props/actors? No wonder I still do most of my work in P4, life is too short to use P5! P.S Texture filtering was off in all images posted.
