  Wow, my very own thread! I'm glad i stopped by today.

  I often skip GI, as it kills render times and allows me more iteration to fine tune lighting. I always use AO as it makes the shadows super tight.

  I do use softboxes, usually an overhead one and one or two on the sides. I'll also sometimes use a sky light as fill lighting to capture details.

  For materials, lately I'm simply choosing a color, adding maybe 10% or so blur w/ 10% or so fresnel. In lieu of anti-aliasing sometimes i'll add a bit of blur, which can have a similar effect and save render weight.

  The final rendered result is a mix of lighting, materials, and presets. Experiment to find the mix that works for you! Hope that helps.
