The issue is that the final file doesn't show the actual lighting samples, but an averaged rendering. So nothing that you see is "real" in terms of lighting, so falls short of giving you the "in-hand look". I've often contemplated doing a similar dome, and then creating an animation of the actual images, to show what the coin would look like lit from various angles. Could be done without any special software, just simple animations. Would not need to be 48 images either. Maybe I'll give it a go...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
