By request, here is a no-mesh version of the scenes posted quite a while ago
with a dragon and a hand, respectively:

There are a couple switches for skin/plastic, but most of it just comes down to
experimentation.  I recommend reducing the sample count except for the final
render.  If nothing else, it renders relatively quickly even for complex
objects--just as long as you keep the lights simple.
