Maxon is consistently tight lipped about its future plans so we won’t know what they’re planning until they announce it.
The startup cost is high but at least they do now have a maintenance agreement that entitles you to discounted annual upgrades.

Looks like you’re using a Cinema material with VRay. Use a VRay advanced material instead. Put the alpha in the material weight channel and invert it and put the image in the diffuse 1 channel.

Reaper X has a built in growth function in the Strands tab.

I think the problem was the way you set the offset and length in the texture tag when setting up the spherical mapping. It’s more straightforward to use flat mapping. Since the character is somewhat flattened I think it looks okay. I made a second poly selection tag to limit the face to the front side.

I can’t really tell what’s going on without looking at the scene file, but you might try something else. I’m assuming that you’re using flat projection on the texture (and thus need the stick tag)?
If so, instead of using the stick tag, right click on the texture tag and select “generate UVW coordinates” from the menu options. That should stick the texture to the mesh without the need for the stick tag.

Is the deformer keyframed in any way?

The index of refraction can’t be 1 if you want it to look like right. It should be around 1.5 for glass.

In the details tab turn off Sky Dome Light and Generate GI (if you’re using GI).

I don’t think it’s possible in R12. More recent versions contain Xrefs which allow this sort of arrangement.

Why are you worrying about nonplanar polygons? You’re better off with quads rather than triangles.
