I just found this excellent video tutorial by Gavin Hoey using a Huge Octagonal Softbox for the light source which creates and incredible soft light that simulates a large window. Gavin also goes over how to use the large softbox as a white backdrop and uses a model to demonstrate how well the light feathers. Pretty much a sales pitch on the softbox used in the video, but the video itself is still excellent and good for those new to studio lighting and metering.
Huge light sources are my favorite way to shoot!! Whether it be a large softbox like this, window light, or natural light.
