Ergh, try the dragon in P7 with the smooth turned off of rthe wings and I still got the blotches that showed in Tashar59's post.

On the other hand, I did a little test image where I turned the Dragon into a bipedal style no wings -like the Millenium Dragonfolk) and rendered it with an M3RR in armour and clothes.  I rendered it with IBL AO and I think it is the fastest render I've ever done!

I'm going to tweak it a bit more (I never like default texture set-ups...), but I can see a few uses for this beasty.

I'm thinking that a displacement map might help round it out a bit too.  I'll have to play a little more.

Anton's post sounds intriguing, I'm goin to wonder over there and check that out.

Cheers!
