Hi Bill... Actually, what I meant is not the pollen, I'm no botanist... :) I meant the inside of the lilly, it has those white things sticking out... And also, if you look at the white flowers, the petals are undefined, just a mass that suggests something, like in a painting, but not in a render... That's a very high quality flower, and it has great detail... So, I guess what I mean is, how can I get more detail on those particular items... Does a higher pixels per ray kind of thing increse sharpness, or is that only for the anti alias?? Or how about a higher dpi, does that change anything?? anyway, any ideas welcomed... :)
