Finally starting to learn lights and lighting! Also remember: deal with the scene Exposure, instead of trying to “explode” the power of the lights. I always imagined how to get soft lights, since my renders always had hard lights, and now I know.
PS: How the heck can I reduce noises in Cycles? The denoiser makes the image looks like a compressed JPEG.
