Light. Oh, light. Ooooooh Light. Oh Light. Dodo, dododoooo.

So, 've been working on lighting. I forgot how much of a bitch it was to get it spot on.

Now, I LOVE Final Gathering. Love it, love it, love it. It makes things pretty. I like pretty things.

Unfortunately, as with most pretty things in life (computers, women, cars) they cost a lot to use and maintain. Final Gathering as such, is one of these things. A single frame with my current light setup costs me 20mins a FRAME to render. This was totally unacceptable.

I decided to try and 'fake' Final Gathering with a well placed point light. It seems to have worked to a small degree, while only costing my 3mins to render. A HUGE discount.

Here are 2 examples so far.





I hope people like. It's a lot of insane Photoshop work.
