Hello Morten, Thanks to you, i like any precious infos! I did a short 15mins in 2012 with xsi.& MR. there are 77shots. i have had to abort one of the 77shots, for lack of info: i had 46 rigged characters, i think it consumed a lot of ram, and that is why MR was not following me. still not sure about it. retrospectively MR gave a kind of nuanced, naive touch to the geometries, and it was highly enjoyable to work in this 'limited' environment. this time using Redshift, i would definitely spend more time at render tweaking process.to get more details. i've still not browsed a lot on their forums, but i am guessing that more speed in renderer, translates in less problems using zbrush or mudbox _without_ normalmaps cheating. regds, N.
