Attached Link: IBL Ins and outs by Olivier

Looks great! I don't see any specular reflections from a light behind the figure, though. Did you want those? Stick a spotlight back there behind her. It would be cool to have her backlit a little anyway - very dramatic.

Regarding the image - instead of using the Insert Image button in this little editor thingy, just look below where it says Attach a File: - just click the Browse button and select your image. It will be included above your text, which is sometimes not as good, but it will automatically be shown to us in a nice size for the forum, and support a click to show it in a new window at full size. This how I always post images in this forum.

IBL is not that hard. There are plenty of threads around here, and also at RuntimeDNA. Also, you should know that using an image for IBL is not strictly necessary. You can design your lighting scheme by just hand-painting the lighting or even by using nodes and nothing more.

You should check out the linked thread by Olivier on how to use various image maps to design your own IBL.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
