Me again :P

Really sorry to be such a pita, but you guys are the best set of victi.... I mean help :)

Wanted to show my latest render, this time, I used 1 spot light for the character, and excluded all other objects. It casts no shadows, w/ a medium intensity of 65%.

Disregard the flaws in the image, Im only practicing :P

Anway, there is a serious difference in the render quality from an image using a light source and 1 thats not... Ive been comparing smaller thumbs, and even at a small size the images "look" can be easily detected. Also, I am finding that the actual hdr thats being used makes serious impact on the final render. It shows up on the reflections, and becomes like a ghost in the background (I just didnt notice before :P). I DONT like it when a light is used. Something changes to the "look", and thats the whole point of this...

Anyway, this image, I got those blotches on here skin, Im understanding now to turn interpolation OFF... Close, but no cigar :(

Back to the lab................................
