Quote - True, Lux is unbiased and gives much better renders .  But when it comes to understanding what makes good light setups 3Delight is a great teacher.

Not to bash on you, but Studio's lighting system is a terrible teacher! It's false properties made me work harder than I needed to when I first started yearning that photo-real render quality. I figured out that it was what I learned in Studio that need be forgotten.

What you can take from Studio is scene set-up, but if you want to get really great results with Lux, study cameras and how film scenes are lit, then scale it to what you need ;-) 

I know, I'm preaching like Paolo, but you know what? It's true! From the master's mouth, 'paint with light'. In other words, Lux is a good meat, but you need to understand how a camera interprets light to really get the flavor.

Seems I shouldn't preach while hungry!
