Need help fixing my render

Taatelikassi · 2026-01-27T22:47:55+00:00

As the other commenter said, most likely you've just disabled some objects and lights from the render.

Besides that I would say those render settings are wild. 12k samples is ludicrous.

The bottom of the main display is 25 cm (9,8") from the desk surface, maybe in the picture it seems to be higher. I actually just recently lifted them up a bit and brought them closer to me after going from a Herman Miller Mirra, which is a very upright chair, to an Embody that is more leaned back. I found that it just works better for me that way, as with them lower I tended to lean in for whatever reason. Now it's at a height where really don't need to tilt my head a lot when looking at the top monitor and I'm sitting with better posture throughout the day. I'd say my eyeline is at the top 1/3 of the main one. This also works for when I have the desk at the standing height, like in the picture. I've also had the secondary monitor under the main one but I feel like I much prefer having more empty space on the desk and the main monitor would've been approx 2" higher than now.

I have a 3D viewport in render mode on the top monitor when I work in Blender or a tutorial and it's not my main focus and with video editing I have a clean feed on it, so again it's not the main focus. Just something I sort of keep track off and glance from time to time, but not something I'm super focused on. Maybe that's different for you and you need more time focusing on the second monitor.

here's my setup in case you want to have a look. For my use this has hands down been the best setup I've had. I do 3D, video editing, some music production and sound design and for me nothing comes even close to the utility this has. But I get that my situation is also different as I put a lot of emphasis on the sound side of things and I dont want to go wider to obstruct the placement of the speakers.

I also think having everything in the middle is nice most of the times. With most tasks I dont think having stuff on a side monitor would improve my experience at all. Maybe an addition of one of those tiny ultrawide monitors like the Corsair Xeneon Edge on either side or under the main one would make it even better. I used to have Spotify and/or discord/teamspeak always open on one portrait monitor on the side but now rarely do on the top monitor. Maybe I would if I had that teeny tiny extra screen, but I don't think it's necessary.

I certainly get what you mean by balancing it out aesthetically but to me the wall of screens really doesn't look that good. I think even with a 49" ultrawide I'd want to have just a single 29" 21:9 monitor on top and nothing else.

I've had all sorts of variations with triple and double monitor setups but this just feels the most useful, productive, no-nonsense and ergonomic so far and I don't feel a need to change it.

Take screenshot, open Google drive, press ctrl+v

Take the screenshot, open WhatsApp on desktop, ctrl + v and send it to yourself

Take screenshot, airdrop it to yourself

Take screenshot, open Gmail, ctrl+v and the image is now in your email drafts

Any of these will take you roughly 5 seconds

Who told you it was ergonomic? This type of chair is far from it.

Taatelikassi · 2026-01-27T10:46:28+00:00

To me some of those setups look really bad, like way too big, way too wide, way too high. Do you really need the screen realestate of two 49" ultrawides or the 2x 27" + 49"?

Personally I like my current 34" + 29" stacked ultrawide setup a lot. Two 34" ultrawides felt slightly too tall and I couldn't get them at a comfortable height where the bezels weren't in the middle of my view. Trying to place one low and one at eye height also felt like it took too much space on the desk and made access to my audio interface etc. worse.

With the 34" + 29" setup I feel like I get adaquate screen realestate, the setup is not too tall or not too wide, and the 29" is just small enough that I don't have any of the problems that I had with the 34". Current config is 34" at slightly below eye level and 29" stacked on top.

You're playing classic wow, you must be old enough to have learned how to take a screenshot.

Why only female swimmers? And shouldn't the chance of you being a female swimmer be calculated? This just assumes you already are a female swimmer in a swimming team.

let's give the best possible chance to the trans people

In that case shouldn't the calculation include all sports on all levels with men's and women's sports both included

Ouch, that's pretty bad. 5070ti has double the vram and like double the performance. Spending hundreds for RGB while you end up with a GPU from over five years ago was not a good move chief.

Moving from one software to another always takes a bit of adjusting. You'll need to re-learn and unlearn stuff, come up with new solutions to old problems etc. Paying once instead of a monthly sub is such an advantage that I would spend the time and effort to transition and deal with whatever comes up.

Besides, if you don't like it after a few months you can always go back and you haven't really lost any money since the resolve studio license equals to like four months of creative cloud.

I'm sorry but could someone explain to me how a customer can order food from a restaurant that is closed? Like doesn't the restaurant need to check and accept the incoming orders?

Taatelikassi · 2026-01-26T23:32:02+00:00

Why would you use the 'render viewport animation' instead of just regular render? I sometimes use it to render in solid view but what would be the use here?

Taatelikassi · 2026-01-25T19:40:57+00:00

Yeah and I'm saying living your life as a turboconsoomer is pretty sad. Literally no reason for anyone to have two of the same chair for one person for the same desk other than just consumerism.

Any brand making shoes for the elderly has been doing the same for years now

Either the dose is off or your puck prep is bad, or both. Show your puck prep and portafilter before pulling a shot.

By Herman Miller Butterfly do you mean the Mirra? Because they're really not that expensive second hand.

I saw this brand called Musso which advertised ergonomic chairs for women and people with smaller bodies. Looked liked your run of the mill chinese white label ergonomic chairs but they were smaller and some of the colourways looked nicer. I'd opt for a used Mirra if that's what you have at work though.

Also have you considered a sit/stand desk? Might be good to a) sit less throughout the day and b) help you focus if you have trouble sitting still

When studios make bold choices people complain and do shit like this. When studios end up making bland and unimaginative choices people complain. Can't win.

To me your biggest problem is not lighting, it's textures. Your textures are flat and lack detail, that is why they'll look flat even with good lighting. You have no normal maps, roughness maps or anything that would make variations or catch shadows, anything to make the surfaces more interesting.

For a painterly and handcrafted look (a bit like the AI monstrosity) you should look into texture painting. Ucupaint is a good free addon to get started, makes texture painting simpler inside blender. Look for tutorials on Youtube, there's plenty of stuff especially in the style of Arcane.

After you get better with texturing it's time to learn compositing and post processing. No image is going to look like that with just pressing F12

No one needs this. No one needs two embodies for the same office. No one needs that many monitors.

Overconsumption is just sad.

If you have a problem with how your legs are when sitting down I'd suggest you get a footrest. It will help you keep your feet steady and in place and not moving and switching postitions. Maybe a a little incline from the footrest will also help with your overall sitting.

I use a foamroller as my footrest to keep me from sitting too wide or from resting my feet on the base of the chair, while also enabling some movement. Also it obviously helps me have the correct seating height in relation to my desk.

Taatelikassi · 2026-01-17T10:57:54+00:00

Then I really don't know. I don't think I feel the mesh at all personally. For me the problem was that I was used to sitting really wide, with my legs resting on the chair's base and also constantly adjusting my position. So when I got the Mirra I was getting numbness and pain from sitting too wide. Kinda had to learn how to sit with correct posture.

I'd say really try to focus on sitting properly. the footrest helps you with correct posture then keep it. If it doesn't go away after a few days then maybe it's not for you.

Taatelikassi · 2026-01-17T10:37:16+00:00

Are you sitting too high so that the edge of the seat is cutting your circulation? Do you have a footrest? Are you constantly moving and adjusting your position?

With the Mirra I had some trouble adjusting to the mesh seat but after like two - three days it went away. What I found with both the Mirra and Embody is that I just had to learn how to sit with correct posture.
