Quote - ...I'm attempting to capture a certain style with the lighting that completely shares the realistic game or Movie graphics. Up top is the desired results.

The one WRONG word in your sentence above is: REALISTIC...   Both Soul Calibur IV & Final Fantasy VII Advent Children are far, far, faaaaaaar from realistic.  Both have completely different, highly stylized looks (quality of realism from lighting type/style etc.) to them that just cannot be called realistic (what the human eye perceives as realistic) , though Advent Children certainly does have a beautiful look to it. 

Soul Calibur IV with the screenshot of Cervantes above is 100% realtime produced by the games engine and is in no way close to anything realistic (or otherwise)  like Advent Children...  For a 60 fps current gen console fighting game Soul Calibur IV looks pretty darned good!  Not as good as Gears Of War or Assassin's Creed but it's probably the best looking fighting game out so far.  But dang dude...  so not realistic.  I've clocked dozens and dozens of hours on SC4 but I can in no way compare it to Advent Children which I've watched many many times too.

Now if any 3D app could produce the gorgeous quality of realism of Advent Children at 60fps realtime with high poly characters akin to SC4 that would be AWESOMESAUCE!!!   A few years away I'd imagine but not far...  Poser NOW...  IBL or fake GI and fantastically long render times for the Advent Children look and for the Soul Calibur IV look...  easy but why would you want to???  Firefly already will give a better render (not realtime) than Soul Calibur IV...

My two cents are sooooooo spent I think!

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock n roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
