"erm... and Lighting is not used in Animation? ;)" Khai, yes of course it is, and in an animation situation the instructions in the tutorial might make sense. But take a look at the tutorial, then see if your question is relevant..:-) The tutorial is aimed at single frame scenes. Not at animations. There's a big difference. In animations, the lights, camera positions, figures - they all change rapidly. Animations need a different approach. They don't have to be so exact/precise on a frame-by-frame basis, since the brain amalgamates all the stuff of many frames into a single perception. In stills, you have only a single scene to contemplate. For as long as you want. The tutorial is aimed at lighting stills in P6. And is highlighted on the R'osity front page. And (IMHO) is wrong. I would have loved a tutorial that gave me hints on how to light a scene containing a single figure, in moderate close-up, using P6 lighting techniques. But it doesn't. Well, OK if you're a total newbie to lighting at all, then maybe. But even so, some of the steps and illustrations are, if not wrong, then overly-complicated. sigh I shouldn't have started this thread. Now I'm going to get bombarded by posts saying "yes, but..." But I won't delete it. ('cos I get INFURIATED by people who start threads then delete the original post - It's like coming into a movie after the "explanation of plot" has just finished...)
