I wanted to do a render of this beauty from the front, so here are two versions.
Both renders are straight out of 3dsmax. NO post work at all (except for the text credits).
- One is lit by an HDRI with reflections using Final Gather and an omni with soft shadows.
- The other is lit only by two omni lights. One with ambient occlusion attached via projection, and the second is a standard omni with soft shadows.
Which one do you like better and why? Can you guess which one is which?

Feels more true to the movies.

Must be the limitations of my monitor then...I still can't see a difference.
