I'm very much in awe of your demo reel, simply excellent. Can I ask you achieve some of your results? One thing I really struggle with when rendering outdoor scenes is getting the lighting to look realistic. How do you achieve such realism in your outdoor lighting?
I also find it difficult to get rid of the grainy noise type flickering artifacts when rendering 3d trees, especially when they are some distance from the camera. I didn't notice any of that in your reel, what is your solution?
Very nice motion blur. Is that done with a velocity pass and blurred in post?
What do you use for camera matching? I've used Synth Eyes with good results.
Anyways, congratulations on a fantastic reel!
