Keep up the good work!!

Heya VK user added image

Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated user added image All in all, the scene has only one light, which lights up the entrance, other than that, I did not use GI, instead I used a HDRI image, and that is what is lighting the whole scene. IF you want some very nice high quality FREE HDRI images, evermotion is kindly giving away some excellent high res images, I don't know how long they are going to be doing this, but here is the link....

https://www.evermotion.org/?unfold_ex...fold=exclusive

There are some excellent images there user added image

Vedic Kings.....Heya, there is a program that you can download that lets you edit HDRI images. The program is called "HDRI Shop" and here is the link to that....
https://www.ict.usc.edu/graphics/HDRShop/

As for using a HDRI image in Maya, just insert the HDRI image into the Image Based Lighting option in your Mray Options. user added image

Hope it helps user added image
