> Quote - So does anyone actually have some good renders done with gamma ?

 

The attached link shows a picture I did that has some "artistic" lighting you mention, not everything lit up evenly. Without render GC, the shadows would have turned into inky-black patches of nothingness OR I would have needed to add a dozen extra lights (just one light for the scene as-is) to lighten things up.

Or just look at most of my gallery. Admittedly, I haven't got too many pictures there, but most of them are done with GC (except for some early ones) and I think you'll find a variety of lighting in them. (And if you want even more lighting variety, check out my gallery at Renderotica where there's a bit more freedom about nudity.)
