Dark Renders

I've found out the hard way that lights are really dark in P6 when you use the P4 render engine, and if you set it up to look good for that then try the firefly engine it's all super washed out. Very very frustrating!! Only thing I have been doing is an initial washed out / dark render then use the render area tool to spot check a little piece until it seems like the lights are good then try a full render again. But don't listen to me, it took me hours to figure out I could change firefly to a draft render setting for speedier ones /sigh

Are you having any issues with transmaps and textures not showing up? With eyes / eyelashes I can get it to render OK in P4, and in draft quality of firefly but I crank up the quality and it's all fubar washed out, solid instead of transmaped, etc. =(

Yeah it went all dark in firefly. I didn't try p4 because I used firefly in p5 all the time. I'm not sure why it looks dark with the same light sets in p6 =/
