(...) If I understand it correctly, 'ambient' is what you see if all lights are off. I usually turn this down very low (zero). 'Diffuse' is reflected light from other surfaces, you'd want quite a lot of that. (...) Yes, I think the default (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Actually, the sum of *all* your lights should not be too much over <1,1,1> as some parts of the image may be saturated. I usually use 0.5-0.7 for the *brightest* light, and 0.1-0.3 for filler lights. Remember it's easy to modify light (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) How bright is "not too bright"? These lights don't obey the r**2 law like real lights do, right? I noticed that if I have several rgb<1,1,1> lights the scene seems "overilluminated" Do you use .5 or so for the not too bright ones? (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I am considering using parallel instead of a light source that's very far away... I don't think Jeroen used "parallel" for his source(s) because the shadow angles are steeper in the foreground. (this will be less pronounced with light sources (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Looking at the lighting, I'm pretty sure he used radiosity and prolly his FastRad library. I might still have a copy lemme poke around. -Orion (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I'm 99++% certain that's not the case, given the input data Jeroen was able to recover for me. I think removing reflections would be a lot of work, better to change the properties of the surface to get them not to happen. (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) You can use many lights, and still have a single shadow by making all lights but one 'shadowless' (a modifier to the POV light description). I often put a (not too bright) shadowless light at the same position as the camera, to make sure (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

It looks to me like each model / row of models was rendered in POV-Ray individually and then PhotoShopped together. Probably removed any reflections when combined on to one image. Scott (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Hi Larry, I'm not much of a POV expert, but it looks to me like Jeroen used a single light source (I only see one shadow per model). I'd guess the light source is very far away (to simulate sunlight) because all the shadows cast proportionate (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
