Just found this beautiful model!
Tried really hard with the lighting but still not quite happy with it.
Question: How many lights would you guys use for a same/similar render? - I used 14 spotlights. Can't tell if that's too many or too few.

A question. What model that you use for the females? - They really look pretty and I want to get them.
Whoa, 14 spotlights??? That's a ton. I would use 3 and do a 3-point light setup with a fill, key, and back. With 14 that's so much light and you kill any shadows or depth you'd want plus I imagine increase rendering time with the program having to track so many lights. Look up 3 point light and try that out or load in a pre-set lighting system which will almost have 3-4 lights. gl.

14 spotlights are way too much imho.
Try this freebie from Second Circle, it's a great asset that I use as a lot as base light.

You can also try the HDRI lights from the same creator, also a freebie.

Had issues with getting the lighting right so i ended up using only HDRI and did the rest in Photoshop:

Forked tongue, hot or not? The texture and glossiness of the tongue would take a lot of work to look right. To me it can be hot every now and then depending on certain things, but probably usually a no.

that's way too much.
you shouldn't use more than 5 lights on a scene, unless they are specific lights present (like a stadium or something)
each light slow the process and honestly, the more lights = the ugliest result due to lights going all around in various directions adding weird shadows all over. (also each light bounce around too)

Yes as many have said 14 is to much.
most times you see:
- Only HDRI lighting
- HDRI with some "mood lighting" like candles and such
- 3 point lighting (posibly a 4th specular light)
- 5 point lighting
Personaly when doing a portait like render i use a 3-point setup the most.
If i don't want any shadows (or as little as possible) i use a HDRI light.

Spent the last couple days doing script work, so was very eager to get back into Daz again. What started off as a couple sliders turned into a complete custom, as I got carried away...
