Dear Kevin, almost all of the subway stations in New York City have fixtures with bare fluorescent bulbs. I put two omni lights in the scene. I thought the scene is bright enough but most subway stations are dim. I tried simulating sunlight in another scene of a car on a street following the tutorial in "3D Studio Tutorial Guide" book and there were shadows under the car and in the interior of the car. I have problems creating chrome material for bumpers and wheels. I have problems creating shiny material for car's body. I bought "Inside 3D Studio 4.0" book and I found out that most of the text in the book are same as text in "Inside 3D Studio 3.0" book. Jeffrey.
