Great info! Since your results are pretty stunning, I think it would be very helpful if you made lighting only tutorial with more in depth explanation on hdri setup and differences between hdri and nishita for interiors.. However, cheers mate!
Hey, as you’re asking for feedbacks in the video, I will provide over here if you don’t mind. I really like the point where you are at but I guess you can still improve upon it by working more on the materials mostly. This is honest and genuine review, not meant to hurt you and I still need to express the fact that I still like your render. I have recently been following the « render camp » beginner course playlist (which is not for beginners imo). It’s in C4D but the concepts still apply and this is what I can see that I’ve learned from there. The scene is lacking ambient occlusion on the walls and even some small texture to create interest. Your light is too strong and gives off an artificial look. Some of the roughness seem off for some of the materials, like the drawers for exemple that should be a bit more reflective and glossy. Normals could be a great way to improve your scene as well, such as the floor, the drawers or even the walls. You lack imperfections and details on some of the pieces and lastly, the scene is highly saturated which makes it look a bit CG.
You mentioned the HDRI used would be in the description, but I am not seeing it. Or did I misunderstand? It appears in your node tree for the HDRI background, there seems to be two different images used. But the file names are blurry, so I’m not sure if it’s two different images, or the same image in both nodes. I was hoping to see the images to help understand if/why two were needed. Thank you for sharing this video. Good model and lighting.
In this video you just wanted to show what you are capable of doing. It's horrible to teach and most of the time it's hard to understand what you're saying.
