I was hoping to get some decent lighting in my contest entry. Some people recommended the lighter plugin. I don't understand how to use it. It looks like I'm supposed to place lights in Jed first, but all it does is cleave up all the surrounding surfaces before calculating lighting. I must be doing something wrong -- I still get the crazy crap where a bunch of surfaces will be completely black. Is there a good way to simulate "daylight" on a "sunny" day where I just have to place "the sun" and then be done with it? I tried placing a light with a long range (100) at the very top but I still end up with a zillion completely black surfaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also not a big fan of how it cuts up all my surfaces -- but is this the whole point of the plugin?
