Description
My vacation is not quite over.I have been doing a major, *major*, overhaul of the image based lighting (IBL) code I have been working on for povray (and possibly poser as well). This image is a test image I have been using while working out lots and lots of bugs. It is based on BillyT's Himeko character.
I'm now trying to get a small tutorial together for using the code and hope to get out an initial release version for people to use when I get back.

What's the name of the model? I'd love to get into making characters like yours.

The model in this scene is Himeko. She was done by Billy-T and can be found at [link]
If you are looking for a place to start, I would check out DAZ|Studio over at [link] . (It's free!)

The rendering looks great, but BillyT's Himeko really has some shape problems that can only be avoided if toon-shaded, and from a quite specific angle...

Yep... but I needed a fairly low poly model given all the renders I needed to do for the documentation for the IBL code.
I came close to using animedoll, but I didn't get her installed on my laptop before vacation.

I guess AnimeDoll would be a better pick, because she is also (relatively) lowpoly but has no shape problems. ^^

I love the way you get these reflections (the floor beneath the character). If there's a how to on that... I'd love it.

Depends on the render engine used. I know poser can do this by setting a reflective ratrace material. I have never tried it htough. I have enough trouble with poser's render engine crashing. (That was the reason I changed over to Povray....)
