Attached Link: The Final Render !

Thanks for the link to the guide Acadia, quite an interesting read.... :biggrin:

tainted_heart thanks for the advice !!! :biggrin:

I finally came out with a render which im somewhat happy with   Its not perfect, the light kinda ruined the AO of the neck clothing piece, but overall its a vast improvement over my original version of the pic, i could try and perfect the pic but im somewhat sick of the sight of it so i think i will move onto something a bit different  !!! :biggrin:  I get the feeling i will be trying to learn this IBL lighting for quite some time but at least now im getting somewhere....

Thanks again all for your help ! :biggrin:

I've added a link to my final render so you can all laugh at its crapness ! :laugh:
