Jeez, this programme is fun! We're up to 8 hrs, 35 min and I've messed with the lights and exposure settings and f-stop, and now things don't look so flat. Just shy of 80 samples/pixels --still:

Please be aware: the linked file is big. But you can't really appreciate the low sample/pixel issue without it.

Some time ago, someone asked if one could display images that looked like they weren't done in Poser. I've rendered this in Poser first - hardly took any time at all, even with IDL and everything, but yeah... it looked like it. This still has the characteristics - V4 is a dead give-away - but I dunno... something about the lighting: Bagginsbill's skydome never looked so good. And you can't even see it! It's just there, painted with that last piccie of yours, Laurie... the sunset one? Really has that evening feeling. Current LuxRender settings are:

Lamp Gain 30
Default Gain .85
Sensitivity 100
Exposure 1/60 (was 1/500)
FStop 8
Gamma 2.2

Don't know enough to fiddle with the other stuff, so I won't. Yet.
