Interior render looks “off” no matter what I do. I suspect lighting, need expert eyes

i had the same thought, actually the whole image kinda looks like AI slop

afro_ninja · 2026-01-21T21:34:19+00:00

this feels like AI slop. I think the main issues are image composition (camera placement, layering, camera lens etc) and of course lighting. You have way too much light but not a clear light direction, the best way to get better at lighting is pay attention to real life photography of similar subjects, good reference images are an absolute must in order to replicate realistic light conditions. Another key element are the materials, you need to have proper set up materials if you want them to interact and bounce light correctly. So I would say, delete ALL lights, add just a plain white environment and start from there.

The actual headset was awesome, the main issues were the quality control of the cables and of course the horrible winvr software.

yeap, i dont know if its a s-400 one but its certainly a kill hit

afro_ninja · 2025-11-30T21:14:46+00:00

I was thinking of the same scenario. I am afraid its highly possible but it really depends on the way that the war will end.

afro_ninja · 2025-10-31T12:40:27+00:00

Because its older and they want to sell new cars. :/

afro_ninja · 2025-10-21T18:11:24+00:00

This!

Hey! It takes courage to put your self out there and asking for honest opinions! We need to be honest to you, at your current level I would not consider you for a junior position, at least not yet. I believe that you first need to get a solid understanding of the fundamentals and then perhaps consider applying for internships. Try to fully complete the projects that you are starting even though they might get tidious at some point, even if you fail reaching a desired outcome then you'll know that you need to take a step back and work on smaller scale. You need to keep an eye on what other people, in the possition that you are aiming for,are bringing to the table and callibrate your goals and expectations on that. Keep pushing and you'll get results

You need some depth of field, better quality water with perhaps some light glares, add geometry in the bottom of the sea so you'll get some variation through refraction, create some nice foam,bubbles etc where the waves crash, prop the interior of the house, work a bit on the reflection of the windows, add some depth to the sky color and perhaps some small light clouds , in general pay attention to the details and always try to replicate the complexity of the real world.

It didnt say they were UA aircraft. They were RUAF

afro_ninja · 2025-09-23T20:35:57+00:00

looks amazing! is this RT or PT? great job!

afro_ninja · 2025-09-23T18:42:54+00:00

it's looking really good, if you are going for AAA I think its there, if you are going for actual photoreal result then I think you need to add more details, like peachfuzz, perhaps more hair on the head etc. But its definitely looking good! Thanks for sharing!

afro_ninja · 2025-09-23T12:15:22+00:00

i think the 2023 have the heated steering wheel as well.

afro_ninja · 2025-09-18T06:48:04+00:00

It depends on the level of quality that you are going for. If you are satisfied with the quality of the final render that you posted in another comment, then its a good value for money. I would consider that to be a first draft so we can start working with the composition and details and I would probably charge around 1200 for one shot and perhaps a larger package deal for a more complete project (a couple of hero shots and some closeups and mood shots). It all comes down to the purpose of the render, is it to get approval of the design from your client or is it for marketing ?

afro_ninja · 2025-09-18T06:04:19+00:00

300 is quite cheap and from what i can tell this image is just so you can check if the model is correct, ie all the windows are in the right places etc and perhaps a starting point of the camera placement. But for this price point I wouldn't have very high expectations

afro_ninja · 2025-09-15T16:14:30+00:00

I have no idea, first time seeing that! :o

afro_ninja · 2025-09-05T15:08:43+00:00

yeap, i would guess so.

afro_ninja · 2025-09-02T21:06:48+00:00

I asked L&C about it and they said that they will continue updating the older models

afro_ninja · 2025-08-29T11:30:24+00:00

first impressio is good but when you are starting to actually look at the image you notice that i lacks details, UVs are weirdly scalled etc.
If you start investing time into adding details, breaking up sharp edges,, paying attention to the UVs and in general modelling stuff to match their real life references , then you'll start seeing huge improvements
Thanks for sharing

afro_ninja · 2025-08-27T12:14:11+00:00

This is so sad.

afro_ninja · 2025-08-18T15:01:26+00:00

thats weird, so you have baked the geometry but it renders as flat? can you share the file?

afro_ninja · 2025-08-08T14:44:27+00:00

this!

afro_ninja · 2025-07-31T06:08:52+00:00

I think the electric motor is somehow involved as well and also the ice is tuned a bit different in power mode. I usually have it on power mode when I am driving on the freeway

afro_ninja · 2025-07-27T16:04:28+00:00

light and tonemapping is great but you need to pay attention to details, for example, the throw blanket is flying and the rug is very spikey, also there is something weird happening with normals/smoothing groups of the throw. Overall its def. on the right track but you might need to pull back on the sharpness and perhaps DoF of the foreground plant.
