It's working now, and I used snarly gribblys' ezskin, and I used Ghostship eyes because a v4 render of her eyes really made the white of her eyes glaring. The eyes were great. I rendered pretty much with your settings, except I bumped the pixel samples a bit to 35. Comparing a Superfly with a Firefly render, yes there are differences, but in this case, the Firefly looks better to me, IMHO. I was really hoping for a more realistic "human" look to the M4 and V4 faces though they DO look pretty good in both. There are some interesting peculiarities. I put a lightning image on a basic disc and made it transparent (the disc) so only the lightning shows. Worked well in Firefly, not so good in Superfly (not terrible) In superfly it renders the lightning on BOTH sides, slightly offset so it looks doubled. Not a bad thing, probably has more to do with my camera set slightly off from center so it rendered perfectly. I decided to attach an image. LEFT is Superfly, Right Firefly. Hard to show nuance with a small image byte size. I used shiny silver material for parts of her body (android). I marked this as nudity just in case as her skin is skin, not clothing. I couldn't get rid of the floor in the superfly image which was a little weird. Worked fine in superfly. (probably ignorance). They are both good in many ways. I like her face better in superfly. It appears more doll like in firefly. But the skin is shinier in firefly which I prefer.
This project is getting a little old to me and I'm getting itchy to move on. :) So firefly will probably win this battle. Many thanks Iron. Really appreciated. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
