Download the pr2 zip. Place the 2 files that are in the zip into the VSSFigureProps folder, and then use the new prop (VSSPR2Test) instead of the original VSSGeneric prop.
bagginsbill updated the prop to work better but uploaded it separately.
Load then prop into your scene.
Then goto File->Run Python Script and navigate to the vss folder in the Runtime->Python folder, and select the vssMainButtons.py
After that, goto Window-> Python Scripts and you get the VSS Python scripts appear. With your figure selected, click Synchronise and the magic happens :)
Then render :)

I've described the process as to me it doesn't look like there is a difference between the top two renders in your picture, and I think there should be some difference.
