hi guys! i think this topic was posted before but i cant find it in the archives.... the question is, without considering Carrara 2.1's GI, Caustics, etc, and only using the Hybrid RayTracer, which is better? Carrara 2.1's render engine or FireFly....at first when i got Carrara i said this is waaaay superior to FireFly, not considering GI, caustics, etc. but later on...as i got more used to FireFly, i discovered that with the correct light settings, high res textures, high res models, etc, the resolution of FireFly renders are almost undistinguishable from Carrara 2.1 renders using the same figures/textures, etc. is it just my eyes or have any of you noticed this too? heres a sample Firefly render....i think it looks pretty good...no postwork done except for her name spray painted
