We're getting mixed reports about speed. In some situations, Superfly is much faster for the same quality output, while in other situations, Superfly doesn't even seem to want to finish rendering. So if I show something, you must take it with a grain of salt, please. Also, I want to point out once again -- it isn't finished yet -- changes will happen -- data I collect now may be wrong in a week.
I will also say that, at the moment, some things (like metal) you make exactly the same in Firefly or Superfly (two nodes) so it's not always about having no nodes. That may change, though. I've made suggestions how to do metal parameterization without any nodes.
Anyway - enough excuses.
Firefly: 3 minutes 35 seconds
Superfly: 1 minute 37 seconds
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)
