Chris, >> However as soon as I set gamma to around 2.5, all my problems dissappear << well, maybe PAL has a gamma of 2.5, I don't know. I live in the NTSC world which is supposed to be 2.2 I just use the default 1.8 gamma for everything and my lights start at the same values as you, and then I'll just adjust the lights until I get what I want. I never play with the gamma. The lights are what you should be adjusting, IMHO. Maybe you could add 1 (or 2) appropriately placed omni lights for "fill light". These could be raised or lowered without making the scene too flat since they are directional versus ambient. I assume you are doing architectural rendering.
