Ok guys, 1 finally worth posting...

First off, a huge thanks to all of you, your help was great :) I learned alot, and learned I have a lot to learn :P But I should be "ok" for now I suppose... Manipulating HDRI's seems to be the next thing I need to get into (not really changing the hdri maps, rather the settings of them).

For this set up, I used TWO distant lights, each was set up at the sake position of the camera, and made to point at each character individually. The lights also exclude all other objects, and again, no shadows on them... Still, 65% intensity as last time... I turned the photon count up to 200,000 as shonner suggested, and UNCHECKED interpolate...

As I moved scene elements around a bit, I can see that the light is stronger in the back, coming in from the top right (see the shadows of the stones/rubble?!?) It also gets stronger as it goes to the right, thats visible from the wall that was moved back behind the temple and extends past the camera.

I dont have a prolem w/ the contrast of the character and her clothes, Im fine w/ it as is...

Ok guys... I have your names and addresses, phone numbers and ss#'s if I need anything from you...

LOL :P

Peace and cheese grease fellas!

Thanks!
