I love P6 and am sure I'd love P7 too, for the reported increased speed, but so far, not a single render from P7 looks any different from P6 as far as I can tell. I've looked at a lot of them.
P7 supposedly has some disabled features for doing global illumination. The guys in the Python forum found how to turn it on. But I've seen no renders using it. If P7 had GI, or had a proper subsurface scattering, that would be an enormous improvement. As far as I know, neither present. I suspect it is broken or they certainly would have put a way to use it into the GUI, not just the Python interface.
So I'm not bothering with P7 for now.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
