Late in 2011, The DAVE School's Executive Director, Steve Warner, gave his signature Lighting and Rendering lecture to the students at the school. Now DAVE School offers whole two 5 hour lecture to see for all visitors and 3D modelling fans. They started to post the entire series in hour-long instalments. Today they are posting the second segment which examines the way that environment parameters affect an object's surface settings. The goal of this series is to give students a better understanding of CG lighting and rendering. While LightWave 3D is used for the demonstration, the principles discussed apply to all 3D programs, including 3DS Max, Maya and even ZBrush.
