Quote - OK, thanks to KrazyHorse's suggestions, I tried some radical "cranking up" of the power settings for the skydome in the Worlbase XT set, and was able to produce the render above. I turned the Sky dome to a light and set both Gain and Power in Reality to the maximums, 10,000 each. I also have a typical two-light Main/Fill mesh lights set to light the figure. The Main was set to 5,000 Watts and the Fill to 2,000 Watts.
I found that even with the Reality settings above, I still had to adjust the Sky light upward in Lux. I dropped the Main and Fill slightly also. Love those separate light groups! It has been baking for over 9 hours now, reaching 350 S/p.

That looks pretty darn good to me, I may have to pick up that set. Hope it is still on sale! (edit: bah, went of sale long ago, maybe they'll do a catch-up day )
Nice render Ansel!
