This one's for whoever knows the info; but, I think I have my issue with my render speeds and it sort of has something to do with textures.

Ordinarily, when rendering with 3Delight, I rely heavily on shaders of all sorts.  Uber hair for hair, pwsurface2 for skin, glass shaders, metal shaders.  Anything that I think they can improve the looks of.

My question is this.. do shaders help, hinder or have no effect on Lux render times?

 

and for bob.. shoes fit and look great if you hide the feet.. unless they're sandals of course..  but i feel your pain.. shoes play hell with my characters too.. v4 AND genesis
