Best Lighting for Models? - Struggleton! - 10-07-2015

Hey guys!

Right now, I'm currently looking for the best/most appealing lighting for models in 3DS Max.
Note that this is using a Falloff map to get the fresnel effect Tongue

Code:
1 Skylight (Shadows Enabled)

Code:
1 Skylight (Shadows Disabled), 2 Omni Lights (1st one Shadows Enabled)

Tell me what you think is the best one for rendering, and if you have any better ways of rendering! Smile

I like the first one since it's not as eye searing.

I think the second one has more dynamic lighting, but for more subtle situations, the first one is better.


(dammit why doesn't blender have support for falloff maps...)
