FireFly can render some nice effects. At first, just goofing around with it, I was very happy with it. Sure, with all the effects turned on and what not, it renders slower than the P4 renderer, but the results are amazing. Now that I'm actually trying to get images out of it thought, it's just one disapointment after another. I'm trying to render my images big so that I can resize them after post and what not - I'm trying to render at 1300x1300, which isn't even that large when you take everything into consideration. I'm rendering big scenes with six or seven characters in it (not V3's. I have one V3 in there with other scene figures and creatures.) The scene renders fine in P4, but I want the raytraced shadows. So I render it in FireFly....Alright, half of it renders with the other half black....So I figured I ran out of ram. I reduce the bucket size, as this says it takes less resources. Alright, it rendered all the way...But now Kozaburo's hair looks noisy. I've heard of this before, no problem....I'll go find the fix. It turns out the fix is just turning on texture filtering. So I do it....Now when I render, it goes through all the steps, and renders me a nice big black screen. Grand. And since the engine takes longer to render than P4, this has all taken place over several days while I wait for my renders. I have 512 megs of ram. I'm sure a gig would work much better, but this is ridiculous. I've seen much more detailed renders with more bells and whistles render just fine in other packages.
