"Light up the darkness"

Three point lighting +

There are 3 spot lights two dim ones one light blue, one light orange, the third brighter and white. All surrounding the object. A hemi light pointing at the camera from the other side of the object to soften up the edges of the object, and a negative light on the left to add more contrast.

I learnt a few more useful keyboard short cuts:

• + <1> = subsurf level 1
• + = center selection
• <.> = rotate around selection icon <,> = to change back
• +

  = Make parent (have used this before but used it in new way.... this time to link light and camera so when rotate camera lights rotate with it so don't lose lighting effect.
