Lighting questions

[PJC]

by shadow mapped lights, do you mean gels?

Kliegs can have colored shadows, that option is under the shadow options and it's called "tint".

I wonder if you mean translucency on the wax? If so, yeah, AM can handle translucency.

Whats a gel and how do you use it?

Kliegs lights accept images and project rotoscopes. It works basically like a film projector.

There are some good books on lighting techniques and systems. They can be found at just about any major bookstore, local or web.

Guess 1:
If you were asking weather or not A:M could render shadows for use in compositing, it can. Can't verify if A:M can produce colored shadows in passes or not since I've never tried.
Guess 2:
You can blend different colors of lights to produced varigated shadows. If you used pure colored lights such as red, blue and green they will blend to produce a pure white light with tri- colored shadows.
