That's not quite right: you should be able to use one _effect_ across all rendering schemes, but under the hood different flavours of shaders do the work. Depending on a number of factors - weather mode selected/light implementation, the outcome on the model can look quite different. I would guess that is what we are seeing on the P38 examples shown (and that's quite some model - wow!). We have recently broken that principle with the grain effect - it only works in ALS. But you are quite right to say that we don't need special models for ALS/Default/Rembrandt rendering schemes. You might choose to implement features in Rembrandt, and then you might want to add different features so that those features would still work in the default and ALS schemes, but you don't have to. A good example of that might be landing lights that are implemented on a particular model under Rembrandt, but are simply absent in other schemes. Apart from making sure that transparencies work in Rembrandt, a modeller doesn't have to anything at all to the effects to make them work right across the board.
