P.s. How do you get GI_Joe to work "inside" With all of the lights still effecting the objects inside? How are your lights set up?? THanks,

So if your object is open at the top, side, or bottom, light will get inside somehow
One way to cure this is by not choosing the "Floor lights" option upon setup.
If you need floor light, then another option would be to:
1. Create a separate maya light.
2. set it to not cast shadows.
3. set the intensity to a negative value.
Like the doc's say, this will act like a black hole, sucking light intensity from the area close around the light.
Just my 2 cents

The edges need to be thick, meaning i can't just have say two cubes meeting at the edges or i get the same results. So i've sort of must merged em into one and it's come up quite nice.
::edit:: also, that's only a medium quality render as my hdd has shit itself and if i try to render it at production quality my PC resets.
