Okay, I have deleted the OLD Soft Skin Lights, it was getting too confusing for everyone, I'm sure... and I have uploaded a new set.

Included is four light presets. Two have the key light on the left, two on the right.

The close lights are 200cm away from the studio center, the Far Away lights are 800cm (8 Meters) away from the studio center. Their hight is exactly in line. Not sure why I needed to do that, but I did, I think it'll be useful...

There are ALSO four Material Presets. One is for the LANA texture set.

The rest are for three freebie V4 characters out there and you will need those textures to use the presets.

I was very careful in constructing the materials to work in a manner I think works best, or is (more accurately) as good as I can make them.

Everything in the ZIP file is public domain. Pull it appart, rebuild it, make it your own... if you're selling a character on R.com or RDNA or wherever, feel free to include them (lights and material settings) with your product (credit would be nice, but don't worry too much about that)...

BUt, if you make it BETTER, my only demand is that you share...

Below is Danae's Dublin... and Samantha :)

Thank you! This is awesome... lighting is always such a pain to me, and yet one of the most important parts of rendering art :)

Bree, as in Victoria 5, default, using my lights with Ue2 set to Cornell Box...

While the lighting itself is good, you may want to have shadows turned on with only one of your lights. Not used to the UE on a surface method so I didn't adjust this image. Plus, I didn't feel like stopping it mid render.

Okay, that's very interesting... I will try this. Thanks Zamuel, I knew I could count on you for something to work with!
