DS4P -> Reality/LuxRender to 4000S/p

Updated 2016-09-04: Another revamp of one of my early renders from back when I was pretty clueless about materials and rendering in general. The materials are completely modernized, and the environment prop is now actually using the displacement maps it came with. The original render was also very low poly; back then I misunderstood what the A4 Level of Detail settings were, and they actually reduced her poly count. Now she's base plus two levels of subd, and most of her outfit is subd' as well. The environment prop is very low poly, and you could really see this in the hexagonal shape of the pipes and hand railings (which is what bugged me the most, getting me to re-do this render); they are now properly circular thanks to many levels of subd. I also added a green light in the water underneath at very very low gain. It helps give just a tiny bit of definition to the room behind her, without taking away from the overall darkness of the corridor. The new render is also higher resolution than I was rendering at back then.
