Well, hello there, long time no post! True Ambience render. I have to admit, I was never a fan of True Ambience anything. During the B6 & B7 Beta-Testing/ Steering era I avoided it like the plague, it just takes way too long to render and I could basically fake the look of it with faster render times. But, anyway...the rendering of True Ambience does have an interesting look to it and as long as I am rendering it (for hours) on my laptop and not my main work computer, it keeps the whole thing fun, lol.

The BEST thing about True Ambience though...(as I am sure many or all of you know) you can make ANY 3D mesh be the scenes only light source. Basically, imagine lighting a scene in a pitch black room with a curved neon tube. I am still tweaking this scene to be ready to fully render but with this snippit, you get the idea.
