I am very happy and always pleased with finding info about using P6. However, I've only had the program installed for about 2 months and I get confused by many things so I have to ask some questions.

Quote - LIGHTS... I've been quickening the effect (impatient and ailing pc) by using an infinite light (RayTrace shadow set to .30 to .50) with blur (avg 2- 10. Bias is .80 to 1.0)...as the main light.

Okay I understand about the infinite light but how do you adjust the RayTrace shadow? Where is this setting located? I don't understand this "set to .30 to .50". I understand the blur and the bias but not this Raytrace shadow setting.

Quote - I suppliment this with a specular only infinite light(RayT) with shadows on (20-45 intensity). Keep the spec light on top of your mainlight or close to it.

What is a specular only infinite light?

Quote - Light intensity set from 45 inside to 90 outside. Shadows off! Specular black.

I understand intensity but what is the "45 inside to 90 outside" stuff?

Quote - Now if you are really lazy,,,turn AO ON the IBL and reset AO scene options to 1.0 max distance, 0.04(inches) bias or thereabout. Rendetimes are about 1/8th of the time of an equivilent shadowmap spot system. There are artifacts from the AO/IBL light but, not bad.   

Understood  the 1.0 max distance setting but do you mean 0.04 on the bias setting if your poser units are in inches?

Sorry to be so dense but I had to ask or I'd just get frustrated.
Thanks,
Micheál
