I watched Will Gibbons tutorials and set up the scene better than before. Here’s the wall render: before and after. I properly adjusted the lighting, environment, and materials.

The painter who painted the wall should have sifted his paint. 
Nice!

Great work Yevhenii! With such fine structures lighting is so important if you want to have it survive a bit of distance of the camera. Sweet texture as well.

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a more direct comparison of the before and after image where the camera doesn’t change? It’s a bit of a challenge to understand what the image looked after you revisited it.

Hi Will, thanks for your message.
At first, I thought I needed to add more filters to the render — to create an effect similar to popular TikTok videos.
But people told me that wasn’t the right direction, and that I should aim for realism instead.
And this is the result that people liked. It’s a frame from the video animation.
I added the KeyShot tag just for fun
I’ve been looking for a course like yours for a long time — something that would help me build a strong 3D portfolio in the future.
Like many 3D artists, I can create a good model, but I’ve always struggled with presenting it properly. I couldn’t figure out what kind of course I actually needed, or what exactly I was aiming for — but I knew for sure that I wanted to learn how to present my work the right way.
Because what’s the point of spending a whole week making a great 3D model if you end up showcasing it poorly? Why even put in all that effort?
Your course is exactly what I was searching for.
I’m still going through it, but I already feel like I’ll have a much clearer understanding of everything by the end. Of course, there are some things in the course that I already knew — but there are also so many subtle details I didn’t.
There’s a big difference between adjusting sliders based on intuition and simply choosing what feels right — and actually understanding every setting and knowing what it does and where it will lead.

Funny, that’s also what I told Will after watching some of his videos. For me the ‘why’ you do certain things in a certain way is important and Will always explains that ‘why’. A lot of tutorials don’t really explain why you do things a certain way so in the end it feels more you learned a kind of ‘trick’ to get to a certain result but that will only work on exactly the same things. My brain needs to see the logic of things and it’s a big help if it gets well explained.

Wow great comparison, the difference to the top and bottom photos is 
can i ask what tutorial was it you had learnt this from please?
@yevhenii.l and @oscar.rottink Thanks for the kind words and sharing what you feel is valuable in learning content. I care a lot about empowering people to create with confidence, rather than having to memorize or copy what I show in a tutorial. Cheers!
