Very poor rendering quality / speed
I have noticed this in the past, but with the latest blog (about the lights/soft shadows/Christmas tree) I thought lets try it again.

Using the same settings as the example: 400x225, 16/9, best quality at 25-12-2014 16:00 with ceiling lighting it doesn't make as crisp pictures as the one on the blog. I have the very same problem with my own creations, it looks like pretty crappy :(

My system is not that low end: i7 950, 12GB RAM, AMD HD6970 graphics card (2GB VID MEM) on Windows 8.1. SH3D 4.5 with "Java 1.6.0_45 / 64 bit / 5,3GB max". This isn't the latest hardware, but since graphic heavy games like BF4 still work just fine why doesn't SH3D?

Render on the blog:


Render I have just created:


The settings are the same, so shouldn't the image be the same as well? It also took quite a long time for such as small picture, this is somewhat to be expected (due to the lights) but still..

Is there any way of improving this?
