Hi guys,

Just installed GI_Joe v2 tonite and have been having a go at it. I've been reading through the documentation on the website but am having some difficulties getting things to look as photorealistic as I want. Can someone post a some tips or a tutorial on basic setup for lighting a scene with it, how to best position, what do I need to pay attention to in render globals, etc.? Also, What exactly is the big domeSurface for? I've been testing with some simple primitives with various materials on them and they look alright (Although a 640 x 480 production render with 16 bottom lights and 64 sky lights is killling my computer!!) but I'm trying to get a better grasp on the script. Any help is muchos appreciated.


Pete
