Thanks, max... They're good by comparison to my earlier IBL efforts (which were so dire I wouldn't even think of posting them!) But I did those pics yesterday, and now that I look at them again, I can see quite a few things that aren't right. But I think I see some of what I did wrong. For now, I've dropped the idea of a human figure - I'm back to a couple of primative spheres, just to see if the IBL can make them look part of the picture so far as lighting is concerned. This one was done with one IBL and one specular light. For the light probe, again, I just altered the background image in Paintshop Pro. I think it works fairly well.
