Quote - Looks like you have the figure surrounded by a white sphere and you have IDL enabled. Thus, the lighting is equivalent to the interior of a blast furnace at 10,000 degrees. You'd lose all shadows that way as well.

Get my light meter and render with that. It will show you when you're using too much light.

I am soon getting on a plane, so others can help you with that.

Thanks, BB. Is that light meter a freebie? I almost have the wife talked into letting me spend money on this hobby, but not quite...

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
