First I want to say thanks to the people who pointed me to the new 
features in 3.8, most notably the new gamma handling system and the 
"fade_distance 0" feature for light sources. Together they helped to get 
rid of this weird look that my scenes were suffering from for such a 
long time. Seems I'll be busy for a while to upgrade all the major 
scenes and render them again.

Today I worked on this one, a repair platform for modular space ships.
Full background story is here,

I think it looks much better than the former variant, which was 
essentially the same model but rendered with display_gamma 2.2 and the 
old fade_power/fade_distance settings for light sources.
