Awesome!

P4 & P5 because you can still use P4 renderer in P5 but I believe P5 has a few tricks up its sleeves if you know how to use the settings ... which I don't!!! :-) It may be a good idea to have a chat with stewer first as he seems to have a scary amount of knowledge about the firefly renderer ... but you definitely have the bestest tutorials :-)

Stewer, would you be able to put up a mini-tut, add it to your faq or just give a screen shot of your setting for those reflective eyes :-) Thanks.

I've noticed there was a hither before but I've never known what it was for! Thanks for the mini-tut Dr. Geep :-)

Wow! Really excellent :-)) "great story great humor very good animation" Couldn't agree more! It's amazing that you could do that in Poser. Which bits did you do in C4D 7? Which you have been able to do the whole lot in P5 without C4D 7?

Just like to say that your tutorials were totally awesome. As other people have said, there is no 'need' for you to continue although many of us would like to see you continue. Just follow the previous suggestions to get your 'spark' back. In the meantime, just sit back, relax and just keep pointing newbie's to the wonderful work you've already done :-)

Second the "no high heels" morph :-)

Sorry to hear about Code Red. I suppose you need to reinstall offline?!? ... turn off the server stuff ... Stick all the protection you've got before going back on the internet! ... Just thinking out loud, in between the regular lighting sets, there will be some lighting sets that are not regular whereby you might get an overlap e.g. placing lights at every 25 degrees or 15 degrees. These won't be totally symmetrical but ... if the new python program can handle it then it would give us some in between options rather than just going from 22.5 to 11.25 degrees ... a compromise on eveness of lighting and the number of lights required to achieve it. ... or a user can put in the number of lights wanted as some parameter and then the program could do it's best global lighting for the specified number of lights. Just some ideas :-)

I know you've done a global illumination based on a complete sphere. In the cases where 'below ground' does not need to be illuminated, would it be an idea to develop a lighting scheme in the top half of the sphere? This would reduce the number of lights. It would also be interesting to compare the lighting from some existing freebie lighting setups to a 'global illumination' setup for a figure and/or scenes. If say, out of 5 different scenes, global illumination worked well enough (almost as good as an indivually hand tweaked lighting setup), it may be useful as a general lighting setup for newbies ... like me :-) But if global illumination turned out to be the worst lighting in every case then it might be best left as a learning exercise in programming in python! :-)

How much longer does the lighting for each set take (will this be usable?) for an increased number of lights? And how does it compare against other lighting setups (Is a customised setup better than a mathematical model) in a scene? But very interesting to see lighting setups done by python (which I know nothing about!) Just my 0.02
