From messing around Im thinking that importance order texture is first. A well lit turd is still a turd. I did think second was lighting but finding that transparency and shaders improve a texture. Seeing you highlight that just confirms it more for me. If I want a wet turd then lighting wont make it wet. However without light I cant see where im stepping. Paintings mimic light and artists mix colors to get effects reguardless if the painting is in dispay in a museum or on a park corner. So im thinking I need a quality subject before I light it.
