Hey!

Among other stuff, I worked on the lighting yesterday and rendered a low quality version overnight to see if anything weird is going on. Forgot to adjust the time range, so it only rendered the first half ... oh well.
Sorry for the obnoxious watermark btw. In the final version it will be in the corner, as always.

This is nowhere close to done ...
Been playing around with different looks yesterday and lighting this is harder than I thought. Because she's lying on her back and you'd expect most lights to be on the ceiling, getting some nice gradients is difficult. I would like the lighting to be more contrasty, but for that to happen, I need to place the lights low and to the sides ... cheating like that is fine in 3d, but in this case it really does look wrong, cause you'd expect the lights to come from above. Idunno, I'll play around some more.
The animated lights were just a test, so those are definitely gonna change a lot. Also there's gonna be more of them.
Currently the whole thing is looking very flat. One of the reasons for that is the lack of highlights. There's no real environment around them, so there's nothing to reflect. I'll deal with that by adding a boatload of tiny lights around them to fake lightbulbs and screens and whatnot ... but I need to get the main lighting right first.
