i went from p4 to pp12... theyre ALL new light sets :P

 

   are there any IDL tutorials?

 

  i dont have a world image.  i just want a dark scene, plain black background, and light that looks like candle/fire/torch light.

 

   actually, the shadows are not dark enough, but i will try setting them above 1; that's an idea. 

 

not sure that will help the missing AO or places where shadows just arent.  oh... maybe i can create a light that ONLY make shadows but doesn't light the scene...?

 

 

  any other ideas why the ambient won't occlude?  :/
