Well, here is my first comparison render. It’s Apollo Maximus.

To the left is the non VSS render. It’s the Latin skin texture, and I guess it looks very "Poser-ish" - quite dark, no real detail where you would expect it to be. To the right is the same file, but this time I’ve run VSS over it. I’ve tinted it a very slight green, just to stop it getting too red. It looks so much better - and what impresses me is the level of detail in there. The stubble looks far more convincing, and the detail in the eyebrows is much better. There is better skin definition too.

BB - I’ve only recently found this - so in relative terms, hours is about right for me. I should be working...
