Thanks all.

Warangel, I am not offended in the least.  I know that in order to obtain good looking, quality stuff, lighting is the key.  Any help is always appreciated.

I can do basic renders right now, but I am trying to push Vue 6, as I have seen others do, to create good stuff without having to resort to Maya or even C4D.  I think Vue can do it all in rendering terms, although maybe at the cost of  high rendering times, etc.  Stil, what I am learning here is great!

I am off to continue my exploration.  Thanks again to everyone.  I will continue to try different renders until I find something I like.
