no lights
no AO in nodes
V4 with her hi-res maps and default shaders
there is a glowing cube in front of her, in back of her and on top. I fidddled around with the ambient, the one in front is at 2.25 I think and the others from 1.0 to 2.10 or whatever. You have to experiment
Also, the number of bounces drives brightness. This is one bounce!
Aren't we supposed to be mutiple bouncing here? I might turn down the ambient and crank up the bounces to see if there is a qualitiative difference.
With no AO the render is pretty fast. All four cores were pegged out at 100% and it was sucking in 2.2 G of physical and another 2.2 of paged.
render time was 464 seconds
