Interesting.

I'm also not an advanced user but I think any hints might be interesting?
For the lights I think it is the best to place a light_source on each axis
or exactly halfways between them. If the shadows are too high in contrast,
try to decrease the illumination of the light source (e.g. color rgb 0.5 or
less) and increase the ambient light factor for the entire scene (in the
global settings global_amient_light or so). This shoulod soften the shadows.

I'm talking of 3.1g, so sorry if the syntax has changed compared to 3.1g!
But something comparable should be there....

hope that helps!

SY
