You skip over the fresnel here because it's an advanced topic, but in the cycles-part, you included fresnel because it was so important. Are these the same fresnels, or is fresnel in BI something different? (I imagine it's more important in cycles when you're making realistic things than in BI where you won't strive for real-looking things anyway)

    You hit the nail on the head with the last part - BI for realism is a very tricky/ near impossible thing to achieve. Fresnel is very important for realism.
