This was rendered with a single point light, inverse square falloff, white, intensity 15%.
The light is mounted in an upside-down bowl on the ceiling, about 83 inches from the floor.
The specular reflection of the combined point light + lamp bowl is created by the Blinn + Reflect - you can clearly see it in the bowl. (You can also see similar effects all over Andy, who is sporting a fun metal shader that I generated randomly from a Python script that creates thousands of materials, renders them, and then I pick ones I like. That's a topic for another day.)
The marble subject bowl in the image is from Poser Primitives folder called "Bowl". I turned on subdivision one level.
The surroundings include three walls, the ceiling, and the floor (Poser ground). The ceiling is white. You can see the walls and floor.
IDL is on. GC is on. These things matter. The video image was much worse than it needed to be.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
