Hi,

I'm looking for a way to show of models on a turntable. I get the basic principles of 3 point lighting, different light settings, GI and FG, but all my efforts in rendering are awful. I've looked for tutorials without finding anything decent (basic FG, stick this HDRI image onto a half sphere, very basic 3 point set up) to move me further.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on a decent setup to show of a model on a turntable?Or point me towards some decent tutorials even. Got to get some lit quickly for uni.

(I gather that they mainly use FG and HDRI with additional lights, and I've been trying this with images I've downloaded, but the results are not good. My best results have been just with an area light as main, spot as back and spot or directional as fill.)

cheers
