Well, it's a specular value, but I think reflection contributes to the
effect. It's something that must be adjusted (the baby walker looks like it
has been bought an hour ago) and that I have in my to-do list.

Yes, the area light is 'compressed' in a little space to look like as if
came from a single light blub. When I've tried to scale it up, the shadows
were all wrong. I have to try the light macro made by Jaime Vives to see
what happens (I'm too busy on modelling and texturing right now).

It has to do with the resolution. If I render the picture bigger it
disappears. In the final render that will be fixed.

I think so, but I don't know if I'll have time enough to test it (if not for
the IRTC, sure that I will try in the future).

Yes, the floor is a repeating image map done in Photoshop. I'm trying to get
a decent carpet now so most of the floor will not be seen.

Thank you again, and thank you for your comments.
