I played with that for a while, but it got a little complicated. For that example, I have one light tied to the camera, and one high and to the right. When I want a figure with three shades (highlights, mids, shadows) I’ve gotten good results using: • a light tied to the camera • a light about 45 degrees to the right and a little high, and • a light about 90 degrees to the right and way high. Looks good, and less filling!
