> Quote -  Ghelmer, good post. I'm going for these different looks for a basis and then build off of it a high def, realistic render/image. The soul calibur works for a basic anime look that I'm going for. but I want realistic anime. That's also why I mentioned Final Fantasy. Neither of the looks are super realistic but imagine if they were...Using that lighting style and artistically adding realism while still paying tribute to the unnatural or anime world's. 

Last year while experimenting with lighting for an ongoing (taking forever!) project I did the image in the link (my renderosity member page pic) in what I was hoping for an Advent Children look and feel...  (remember the scene where Cloud was on the hilltop where his old Buster sword was knocked over by Kadaj is the look I was going for) it was rendered in Carrara and turned out pretty cool IMHO...

Have you seen the screenshots and movies of Gears 2 yet??  Now that's coming close to FF VII Advent Children quality realism!!!

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
