3Delight worse in 4.8?

At first I was really pleased with the fact that 3Delight seems to be rendering quickly since I upgraded. I rendered a few rooms and furniture, etc. at good speeds and reasonable quality. But today I tried it on skins and, oh dear, it is poor.

First I loaded some characters I had set up to render nicely in 4.7 - they looked awful in 4.8. So then I started from scratch. Tried different skins, Gamma settings, different shaders - DAZ Default, AoA, Uber, and my usual favourite: Amazing Skins - all look really flat and lifeless. Specularity is almost impossible to get right - it looks like a flat milky sheen instead of highlights. Bump and displacement don't look right either. I now have flat cardboard cutouts instead of people in my scenes.

Are there some new render settings for 4.8 that I have not seen documented?

Sorry ... I may have jumped too soon.

I went through all the settings in the render tab and reset them to defaults. Then I loaded a new character and rendered without modifying anything. Clearly something I had loaded previously had screwed up the render settings. So I'll go through the shaders, etc. and see if they still work.
