While having sufficient light for your workspace is vital to good painting, object-source lighting is an advanced technique that requires a lot of patience, attention to detail, and very good eyes, in order to replicate the effect of an object\'s emitted light falling on the figure and its surrounding area.

I think Shawn R.L. only meant to inquire as to which of the two -- desk lighting or OSL -- the original question was regarding. Judging by his work, I\'m fairly certain Shawn knows what OSL is:

Please tell me that that\'s not osl because I want to try it eventually and I\'m sure I\'ll never be able to even come close :eek:

That is a testament to how good it actually is. You can\'t readily tell if it is a painted on effect, or some trick lighting. It IS OSL! amazing.

So just what counts as a lighting effect?

Does nmm or se-nmm count? as it\'s just trying to represent how light reflects off metal.

Or how about painted reflections? that\'s how light plays off another surface.

it\'s more ambient lighting effects rather than source lighting effect, but do they qualify? ???

Technically speaking, anytime you paint highlights and shadows your are using a \'lighting effect\'. If it wasn\'t for lighting effects, we\'d just have a bunch of grey and black minis....lol

I\'m not sure what the original poster meant, but I take it as \'object source lighting\' where you are painting the way the light plays across an area, including the actual source of the light as well...

But, it can be rather vague, can\'t it?
