Getting the software setup was a bit of a problem. I was trying to build on the Myth computers and had an extra line in my .cshrc file that prevented pbrt from building. Once I got that taken care of everything ran smoothly.

== Picture 1 ==;

Had issues placing the light source so that the neck and background appear dark. Sufficient patience ultimately acheived this goal.

Picture 2

Had some issues figuring out the rotation coordinate system. Having done so, it was just an issue of correctly placing the light. This took a few iterations, but turned out fine in the end.

== Picture 3 ==;

I spent a fair amount of time placing the lights correctly. I also tweaked the colors on the lights in order to achieve the appropriate balance between the main light and fill light.

== Picture 4 ==;

On this one, I had light placement/angling and color issues as before. I also spent some deciding which of the light sources could be spot lights, and which ones had to be area lights. Ultimately, I decided that all of them except for the accent light had to be area lights. The three area lights take a while to render.
