I had a lot of fun playing with the Pastel lights last night, and am very excited to find these latest sets. Thanks for your generosity, Traveler! Never too many light sets... Regarding backlighting; if you (like me) don't have ProPack, simply switch to auxilery view, back up the camera if you need to, and add spotlights from there. You might want to "point object at" some backside body or prop part, then use the x, y, and z trans dials to get the thing exactly where you want it. You can then switch spot to global, if you want, or decrease the "point at" dial. Trying to do this from the main camera or facial views is an exercise in futility. Forget about manually moving lights via the UI ... dials are the only way to fly. Sorry if this is all obvious to the pros out there ... just trying to help other newbies like me.
