Hi Cesar,

 

man, you want to know a lot of things ;) Overcaster is an LScript that uses the spinning Light trick, but in my opinion using a self made light-rig is much better to control. You can get great results with a short rendertime, BUT you can get the same if not better results with Lightwaves backdrop raydiosity.

The best idea is to test those lighting systems on an existing projects, that gives you a good overview and a good feeling for rendertimes and lighting quality. If you have more questions come to Newteks BBS at http://vbulletin.newtek.com/, if you are not already there; it is always a big community that can give you fast and good help.
