These three images use three lighting models;
#1 has one area light, with ambient set to 0 for all textures.
#2 has the same light, and an ambient setting of .1.
#3 has the same light, at a slightly lower intensity, plus two faint
shadowless lights at right angles to the main light. The ambient
value of all textures is 0.

The part of TC that is in the shade is much more natural-looking, at
least to my eye.
I also notice that some of the stuff in the first (ambient = 0) pic
is still visible, which means my textures aren't consistent...

now, from the lack of any environment, I'm not able to tell
any scene to be real...
But if I'd imagine a nice background/environment to what I'm seeing,
wouldn't be able to tell any of three to be wrong ...
so it _is_ promising, but probably I shouldn't have answered at all
as I'm not able to tell any right/wrong lighting...
(thinking about this: I often have problems setting up my own lighting)

I would expect more to be visible than is in the first two, but I'm not
sure how accurate the third is. (Is this supposed to be outdoor?) It's
a matter of the perception of contrast; photographic compression would
be a great feature for POV.

Nice tests. What is the question ?
ABX
BTW: Have you compared this with radiosity ? I know that You don't want
radiosity for 20-minutes per frame animation but could be worth to compare
result.

I'd say number 3 is best because it shows the shape better than ambient
light ever does.

The third looks best, IMO. I'm surprised shadowless lights worked so
well. The 'OK' on the robot's lcd is a little ominous....

I prefer #3 because it shows more detail on the front. However, I
guess this bot is supposed to be menacing and #2 would be my choice
with its "face" in shadow. #1's shadow is too harsh for my eyes.
