Thank you, thank you, @hborre - I guess my comfort level of tinkering has mostly been just changing color, surface pattern, or glossiness with nodes in the material room. Oh, also love to adjust cam perspective and focal distances, but that's about it. While I used to make custom cutaway opacity matts for clothing and other things, I haven't even done that in years. But even with just those things, I can still make what I feel are amazing renders, even just with Firefly.

As far as the G8/G9 issue, I don't already own any Genesis figure/prop/clothing, so that's kind of neutral.

Thanks again.
