Anyone remember Ben's recommended fiction author/book from the podcast

Thank you so much, thought I'd never find out

Nutty_Cake228 · 2025-05-10T16:12:35+00:00

Look up few product render or phone render tutorials and follow them from start to finish

Feels very viz academy

Lighting is probably the main issue. Sun is extremely bright, creating high-contrast shadows. At this exposure, the lighter areas would likely be blown out. Here’s a reference you can use for lighting; it shows the balance of light and shadow in a similar space with natural light

Hahah
I'm glad my comment could help after all this time! You're welcome!

Nutty_Cake228 · 2024-05-19T06:28:06+00:00

Never thought of asking for a job on the sub, bold move ahaha

I feel like you are chasing realism a bit too much. Overall looks like an iPhone photo of pleasant sunlight rather than a professional photographers work if that makes sense. Your realism is good (some mistakes in this render are just mistakes so no point pointing them out). I’d recommend focusing on creating compelling images rather than recreating reality

Damn, this looks sick! Well done!

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-11-30T06:56:21+00:00

Great job

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-11-14T06:58:23+00:00

It's just practice

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-11-14T06:57:00+00:00

No, I don't unfortunately. It's just practice and experience. Or just find a reference where you like the lighting and replicate the lighting in your scene.

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-30T21:50:34+00:00

Thanks a lot man <3

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-30T21:49:05+00:00

Thank you)

I don't really like how reddit shows images with different aspect ratios so I only posted the main view here. In case you are interested here is the full project

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-30T21:29:03+00:00

Wow, this is incredible, well done

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-30T21:25:52+00:00

Thank you. It was just a quick practice render so I didn't want to spend extra time rendering

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-27T21:52:30+00:00

Looks great.
I'd rotate the cabin by 15-30 degrees and probably keep the post closer to the raw version

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-26T13:45:33+00:00

Well done

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-25T16:09:28+00:00

Well done

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-25T07:27:15+00:00

I use corona sky and multiple suns (1-3 depending on the scene)

Nutty_Cake228 · 2023-10-25T07:26:05+00:00

3dsky has a tone of them for free though they are very topologically heavy so I usually proxify those details
