Ok. Now I'm going to bed. 

First of all, is that the side hatch on the Millenium Falcon? Second, I've never really gotten glare to work for me. I also can't really tell if you're using it here either but these look really nice.

Just a greeble that I have. 

The Glare makes a significant difference - but setting it takes a little tweaking. In this image I have it set with: Glint, x and y at 15 with a power of 1. A power of 2 makes it a little softer. It is really easy is to blow out an image. 

First one to bed gets their panties put in the freezer...

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..

they look like borg nanoprobes IMVHO, e.g. from that borg girl on star trek.

I wouldn't mind a link to that "stock lighting scene", cause I can't sleep either
