Yea merge the two layers in Photoshop.

You will find LDP produces nice lighting but really contrasting shadows. A plain UE render can then fill these in and you are left with the best of both worlds.

Actually the Souk render on DAZ was rendered in DS3.

The best approach I have found is to render one pass using UberEnvironment, to get an ambient render. Then render a pass with the LDP, and then composite the two passes.

Hope that helps!

ahh thanks that is why its so nice.
there is a scene in daz of the souk. but i cant figure how you did the light. i tried with the dreamlight but no way the same. now i know your using lightwave. darn my loss, i should have learned lightwave.
keep up the fantastic work. i aspire to be like you.
