i've just been re reading, and i notice willyb53 talked about adding the depth cue background, how do you achieve that? and let's say for instance i wanted to enhance the image by adding a hanging lantern or two from the limbs of the trees, to give an elven glow, i've tried upping the ambient value on the flame mat setting, but the light from it is very harsh and artificial, are there any tweaks i can make in the mat settings to soften the harshness and add more realism?
