Last test render of charley's lights(if you don't get them you're not one of the cool kids). My bra texture didn't come out the way I was hoping.  Part of it's a materials issue.  Should have cranked the gloss and spec up a bit; part of it is I'm not happy with the trans map I made for it.  Light used was a single spot up and behind the camera to the right and pointing at about mid-torso.  Not sure if it's me getting better or the lights or a combo of both; but, with these lights my rendering speed seems to be about double and its taking less passes to clear up.  This shouldn't be the case since they're simple mesh lights just like the stock reality light.  Maybe Paolo could check this out; but, it could be an issue of the efficiency increasing due to the aim-ability of the lights.  I haven't paid much attention to my efficiency lately.
