Thanks indeed Rickei your further tips are much appreciated and certainly have a greater sense of what I was hoping to achieve. Avenues for investigations.

Mr Guman - yes I have Vue but stopped using it a while back simply because of the steep render times. But I certainly have to agree with you with your opinion on Vue's strengths and it's renders can be just stunning indeed.

On a personal level I'd concluded only to use Vue when nothing else could give me that control - but more for landscape work. I'd managed to tweak the render times as best I could in the past with your help as I remember but still wish that render times would be at least 40% faster. I think my last full Vue render was 5 hours after a quality verses speed balance and that's just too heavy when on deadlines. Damned shame. Also it doesn't seem to handle ZBrush GUV cordinates with uv maps so it's a no go for much of my organic work.
