The problem I had, in the past, with using 3Delight is that it changes the texture mapping and overall look of the render. Also, I couldn't get multiple clusters with multiple materials to work, which I use a lot. I did try it several years ago, though. Anyone using 3Delight, currently, that can verify if these issues have been addressed?
