Spent the day lighting the warehouse. Considering that radiosity takes way too long to render, I've lit the scene mainly with spinning spotlights to simulate area lights. Tutorials on that can be found here. Am fairly happy with the results. I reckon i'd have to darken the shadows a little bit to get more contrast between light and dark.

This is a sample render of the factory space with some dummy characters.



The scene (720 X 576, medium anti-aliasing, motion blur and depth of field) took 1 minute to render.

With basic textures, the scene takes about 1.5 minutes to render.
