Very strange. I have no idea why you now want to cut the discussion short. All we were asking is to clarify what setting causes a problem for an "ordinary" item.

I'm willing to go out on a limb and make the claim that nobody makes more exotic shaders than I do.  None of these require much in the way of specific render settings. Occasionally, you need to enable ray-tracing or displacement, but these render settings don't mess up anything. For example, this combination realistic skin and splattered paint requires both raytracing and displacement (to get the paint to be thick) and I'm pretty sure that you could render this figure with just about any light settings and render settings and still be happy with it. This was rendered with 1 bounce, min shading rate = 1, pixel samples = 3. These are not exotic settings by any means.

People want to help, not slam you. But so far, you've not given anybody anything concrete to react to.


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)
