A question to all the #gameart, #photography, and #lighting people here:

I am not good at hand painting textures, so for my game I want to use downsampled renders of 3D heads for my texture files. However, I know nothing about lighting and right now I have three area lights surrounding the head from slightly above, because that looks what photographers have in their studios.

What can I do to create shadows and highlights that bring out facial structures without being too harsh?
