Im loving these posts please keep sharing and creating them! Also love seeing the 3D lighting come together, they seem to make a great tool to really test stuff and visulaize stuff out. I remember finding a small application someone made they tried to emulate light and it was interesting but no where near as indepth and reliable as this seems to be which is awesome!
