As far as getting the ball going, I'd probably try starting by using an armature w/ a small ball to represent your light source. Working from there you'll basically be doing some intense blending from the areas that are lit on the model to shade and then a reflected light source.

I'd assume you could either paint you model fully as you want it, then build up the light sourced areas by blending lighter colors. OFC, you could do the reverse also and build up the shaded areas instead. Either way, lots of blending.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223049/452254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223049/452254.page GMT http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=16&page=1

And, TheGrin, any particular reason that the lightcage you found was a naked chick? Did you find others but just decide to go with that one? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223049/452588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223049/452588.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223049/453482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223049/453482.page GMT
