    Nothing wrong with Daz default lights :D AoA Advanced lights I use allot mainly to speed up renders, specially since I use allot of Garibaldi. To fake IBL and add ambiance to a scene, I love specifically Advanced Ambient light. Ive always had slow renders using Uber Environment for ambiance/soft lighting, but that said, it is still widely used, even in Daz promos. It is all a learning curve, and hopefully the small tut will be inspirational to you, I know just seeing him setting up the scene lighting taught me allot :D

    And shes adorable! Love the use of colour in the first one, beautiful render, works very nicely with her backdrop and pose. :)

    With lighting, I usually go with a low-light UE (I do fiddle with the settings, though - it's not always good out of the box and things may end up looking spotty and blotchy). It takes some practise, but I do liek the results. Apart from that, I have 1 or 2 distant lights and fill up with spots and/or point lights in various strangths and colours as needed or desired. No deep shadows, only raytraced shadows and only on the lights that need them. I like having one or two weak shadowless spots :)

    And yes, I usually build from the main idea of 3-point lighting, but I rarely stop at 3. Just play and do what feels good. Don't be afraid to experiment, You can alsways have multiple saves after all ;)

    Is the actual light coming out of the source green? I don't see any green light. Maybe the tablet isn't showing the tint. Cute render

    Edit - I'll look at the render using a netbook later. Gotta do some chores now

    Yes it adds a second level of mesh that we only see at render time, all HD sets does that.

    Umm right after I finish this one. It was planned ahead before I had my Render problems, it took so long to get my full render use back I had lost my mojo and I'm now back to building my skills and other needed things as I go along. Slowing down has helped me learn a few tricks that I hope make things better in the future renders.

    For a moment there, with all of that make-up on, I thought he was a girl; then I got a better look at the torso. Definitely a "pretty boy".
