Following Paquito's advice...

Hi all,

I've followed Paquito's advice (see this post) on how to improve photorealism...

Here's a test scene, and I have to admit that it works quite well.
There's not enough details in this scene to really get a great image, but I'm sure that with a larger scene (and more practice) I'll be able to produce much better-looking images.

So thanks Paquito !

PS : GabrielFX also seems to be right about using Nik Viveza ;) I had a look at the teaser video on their website and it looks like a great tool !


1) Environment Map render pass
EnvMap (Path Tracing)

2) Daylight render pass
Daylight (Direct Lighting)

3) Post-production : the daylight pass was put on top of the EnvMap render, desaturated, I tweaked the levels, and mixed as "overlay" with an opacity of something like 30%
