Thanks Syuichi. The main thing i was unhappy about in the render is the spotty floor, which is due to my inexperience with Brazil's GI. This engine is 100% hands-on, no auto-settings or majic button. Of course the pro studios appreciate that setup to get maximum tweaking. But for common folk such as myself, it's a bit overwhelming. But now i figured out how to get rid of the GI "splotches" and future renders will be much cleaner and better...
