Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Faked Gi with Blender internal

Noob question: I followed this tutorial word-for-word but at the end the lights (on the vertices) are pointed strange ways. Is there something I should do to the sun before I click the Icosphere and hit CTRL+PKEY (i.e. positioning or rotation)? I'm going to try to use a lamp and see if that works at all. Update: Facepalm. I went through the tutorial again and found that I messed up last time. Let this be a warning to everyone: DON'T rotate the sun.

Noob comment: Perhaps you could clarify the phrase "Global Illumination" at the start of this page. I was expecting an explanation on how to fake true global illumination (ie radiosity), not just a constant light source. -The Author, well, would you like me to call it faked genuine GI :)? If you want the features you're talking about, you would need to use http://yafaray.org/

Noob question: Where the tutorial instructs us to add the lamp, should that lamp be at the center of the sphere?
