Just as an FYI most 800 watt open face can actually rake a 1000 watt bulb. It’s not going to hurt the light and I know the case of mole Richardson they include the lamp types that can be used with units. But if u are looking to keep the watts down I strongly sudgest a source four lecko with a hpl 750 watt 120volt bulb (I am sure they have them in other voltage) these lights provide more control then any fresnel or open face and allow u to create hard shadows or softer shadows depending on the postion of the lens. they also provide more foot candles then a 1k fresnel and I believe a openface but I personally hate openface lights so have never tested ithe two against each other U don’t need to use them with metal hobos to create a look a cuckolris will work fine
In regaurds to keeping the Rifa off the back wall I am not sure of ur angle but I usually box in lights with flags. Find a topper works really well. But when a flag is not practical I sometimes have my rifa up high and have a duvatine teaser hanging from the ceiling. It usually goes behind or above the subject and is just out of frame

Hey all
I am a big fan of the rifa line. I own a 44 55 & a66 each works wonderfully. I own the flo attachments (1 of the three bulbs and two of the single) and find them helpfull in many ways. I have used them the Lowell daylight bulbs which I had 2 major complaints. 1st at $30+ a bulb they are expensive but they are also extremly fragile and last time I ordered them 4 out of the 12 ordered came broken. 2nd when using them with the 3 bulb attachmentthey become a little too heavy for the yoke and sometimes sag. One other thing I noticed about the Lowell daylight bulbs is they tended to have a bit of green in them most notible a +7 on my minolta color meter
With that being said I have usedthem alot in office building super markets to match the color temp of the enviroment using bulbs bought at any local store.
I most recently used them on a job with robert eiswith and he snore by them on that job the gaffer Andy Day had 24 of these lights on the job and were used in every light set up.
In reguards to the eggcrates I find that they are totally worth there high price each one of my Rifas has a 40 degree crate and I always have them on there. I find that it makes them very easy to control

so in order to do this do i need to copy the part of the ship i am working on, then work on the interior in a new project then combine them later. also would i need to delete tthe polygons that compose the window areas,?

Having just taken on the task of learning 3d animation I did find cinema the easier of the programs that I tried (lightwave blender and maya). I found that c4d had a wealth of preset materials that allowed me to jump into the fun and awesome world of cinema 4d
