Thank you Ive! Some of your recommendations I have not used indeed, others 
were. What I mainly see are artifacts on the skin! And that is more 
difficult to get rid of, despite slimplifying the texture to the utmost. I 
found however, that it may help to have a little shadowless light to 
brighten up the shadows a tiny bit.
