Er, Fran, take a look at the highlights on the cube. See how many are there? That's from the light/white areas on the sphere. IE, they could be from more windows. Ergo, more realistic. Edit: And you get more highlights without worrying about placing more lights and adjusting their strength and whatnot. BTW, I really would like having "no specular" option on the lights in Bryce.

I guess I've just gotta try it out myself - to really understand the difference.
