Well, probably won't make you feel any better, but have you checked any official
LEGO instructions lately? They have the same problem, and they don't have to
worry about shadows!

with sky_sphere, can that be used to get an "all over" lighting effect? I know
it's a pain playing with the POV code manually, but once you find the settings
that work, you can create an include file and easily include it in all the
instruction steps.
