Have you been away? I have just been popping in and out briefly myself the last 16 weeks or so. Part of me is getting into the lighting, but some of the render times I'm having to sit through, sometimes after just a couple of minor tweaks, they do my head in a bit. Even when IPR rendering. We've been using this kitchen scene for the last 4 weeks now, and I originally lit it with sooo many lights, I thought I was being a bit clever, I was like, 'I'll have a little splash of yellow here, a bit more orange there.' But since then we've gone into breaking it up into passes, and trying now with lights emitting photons and stuff, really gave myself some agro. Had almost 40 lights at one point. Lesson learned - keep it as simple as possible.
