I really know what you mean. I have the same problem in my scenes. I think
I'll have to leave realistic human beings to those who have real skills in
this field. Poser helps a little, but when it comes to clothing I'm stuck to
what I find on the web an it's often not so flexible.
Clothsim might help with some dynamic clothes like coats and such, if there
is not to much interaction with the actual body. So Ingos's suggestions
might work.

Well uhm, it's been a while since I wrote my last iso-statement. But as far
as I know, those spots appear because the rays "slip through" the surface
and goes on until Pov decides it's hitting the background. Please try it,
I'll gladly hear that I'm wrong. A partial render of the scene should
suffice, if it takes to long (BTW how long does this scene take to render?).


So long,
