Sculpt/Animate ignores all dithering routines as well it should when rendering
a 24bit image.  After all, with over 16million colors available, you don't
need to dither to get a gradiation.  However, they optimize the ray-trace for
Ham previous to this or something resulting in a 16 color base image which
does not translate well to 24 bit at all.   Basically Sculpt/Animate is a
waste of money if you want to render to 24 bit IMHO.  I can't live with the
bands.
