Here's the one I've been struggling to get out. The only illumination is a single, quadratic point light. There are grey fill cards off camera to left and top; IDL is bouncing off those to bring out the dark side of his face. There is a floor and concrete slab he is standing on. Otherwise, it is an empty scene.

I had originally set this up in Poser 7 for a challenge and used Gather nodes for the fill. The IDL does a very much better job on the skin amongst the gold around his neck.

If piz99 drops by, I'd appreciate a blotchiness evaluation. Looks pretty good to me, but probaably too simple to trigger those artifacts.
