I always work in Firefly. Several reasons. Most all the content I have will only look good in Firefly. I tried Superfly and like many said, grainy renders and takes forever to render. I do a lot of toon like renders for work and so Firefly works best for that. I am just happy with Firefly..works for me!

I can understand the annoying grain, which does increase render times to get rid off.

This is from an article talking about PBR.


  1. Can a PBR system be used to create stylized art?

Yes, absolutely. If your goal is to create a fantastical, stylized world, having accurate material definition is still very important. Even if you’re creating a unicorn that farts rainbows, you still generally want that unicorn to obey the physics of light and matter.

A great example of this is Pixar’s work, which is very stylized, yet often on the cutting edge of material accuracy. Here is a great article about PBR in Monsters University: fxguide feature on Monsters University

So PBR is not only for realistic renders, not saying that Firefly is not best for you, just that it is a misconception to think that PBR is restricted only to realistic renders.
