BSA324, rendering IW, 11 October, 2017

 Lantern rendered all by itself.  I gave it what I thought was a glow of it's own, but we'll see what comes out in the renders.

 0? exposure

Brightened up to 2.5 exposure.

Those lanterns look cool but not like they're throwing off any light of their own.

I put lights inside the lanterns, which you can see through the top and bottom holes but the lanterns still don't look like light is coming from them.  Lighting!  It's my weakness.  Never mind, poppet.  Just render up shots of all the aisles you've decorated and ask Rachel for assistance tomorrow.

This is the best result I've gotten yet and it's not brilliant, but I will take it!  Until something better comes along.
