Thanks for all the tips guys. What kind of starting light sets do you recommend i build for the average render. A few sets that i read from tutorials included the 3-point lighting system, with an infinite light as the key light, a back light, and a side light with either infinites or spotlights. Another one i seen uses one diffuse IBL, a key light, and one spotlight either to the side/back. And should i use HDR files for both my diffuse IBL image map and the environment sphere?
