I know, I know, it has been done already! I just wanted to show another example. I am not really that upset, because the P4 renderer does actually look good (better than the FireFly IMO). I don't usually do big breasted women pics, but I just wanted to see how the cloth stretched over them, honest! BTW, I didn't time the renders, but of course P4 was A LOT faster.

Well, that picture is more compressed than I thought it would be! The quality is a lot better when its not a jpg, just so you know.

I appreciate another example....from what I've seen, the firefly renders are a waste of ALOT of time....the P4 renders look every bit as good.....so I don't see the point of using FireFly....

Hmmmmmm. I don't know what was going on here, but are you sure that these aren't the same render? I ask because I have done much the same thing and seen obvious and wonderful differences between the two modes of rendering. And (depending on the settings for the lights and the engine) not much more than the expected time difference. I'm talking something like 5 minutes for the P4 renderer and maybe 10-15 for Firefly. I've just come to 'osity after getting my P5 and am amazed at the number of negative posts. I haven't had many problems and have seen vast improvement in the program as a whole. How strange. Usually I get the bugs and the issues, not everyone else -- not that I'm griping, mind you. Shawn

You want to see the cloth stretched over big breasts. I can believe that. ;)
