White porcelain look
 

I notice that a lot of modellers (usually the really good ones) display their work in a White porcelain look. Can anyone out there tell/show me how to set up so that my models display this way, instead of the horrible dark grey default?

Use a white blin with a high translucene.

I'm not entirely sure, but some also might be lit with GI_Joe to achieve something along those lines as well. Might try downloading it to test it out if you really want to. It's a good thing to have anyway. ;)

yeah it's just a GI (light dome) rig with a normal grey lambert on it. GI_Joe is the one that most people use.
