With molten surface in both shot020 and 030 finalized, Steven said I could perform a test to see whether increasing the Shading Quality improves molten surface's render.
With shot020 extreme close up throughout and molten surface exposed at extreme close up for a short moment in shot030 - it would help if shading quality help bring out the details, down side was an increase in render time.

Does not seem to be helping much despite the increase.
