It came! My boxed version... got it right on my 3gig cpu 64 bit AMD machine with a bit older radeon graphics chipset.... works just fine! Got my P5 runtime hooked in super easy...and then started testing with v3 and 3Dream hair (my favorite hairs)....-Glorious Hair and Egypt hair-... erg! Yes..render settings were firefly and were fine... tried texture filtering..looked at trans map settings...seemed fine to me.

I like the FAST renders...the beautiful lighting and shadows that I just got the tiniest taste of...but if my fantastic bunch of trans mapped hairs don't work from the get go, it's no go for me... it will be only a test bed for products, while P5 will remain my "vehicle of choice"....

I don't have the energy or patients to change settings on layers of hairs. Any ideas?? (pretty sure the falloff was 0, would have seen that when checking...and FYI this is English Ivy from DAZ..her pale skin is actually prettier in P6 light, I think!)

Life Requires Assembly and we all know how THAT goes!
