personally I just try and recreate physically correct lighting as much as possible. Its the best way to get predictable results...

sorry guys possibly came across all wrong.not to long ago there was apost to do with people's preferred methods for exterior/daylight settings,that was the sort thing i was asking,but for interior.
what ive read and tried with the photon mapping,it seems to be not as good a result as say the light cache or iradiance map.is it worth sticking with PM or avoiding it and sticking with one of the others?
also is the colour mapping similar to max's exposure controls with logarithmic being similar to the exponential colour map?

cheers jow
