Realistic Render Help :)

#1

Hi there, i have this particular render which will be integrated to a live action plate, the thing is it still looks fake, especially when the live actiom image is inserted. not sure if i should fix this in the render or when i composite it.

Here’s the still frame, MRmaya,

The final image would be like a concert screen, corner pins would be added on the egdes of the scaffold integrating it with a live action video. im hoping someone can help me pull off a realistic render, i could send you the scene itself just hit me a pm. Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Biggest problem I see is Shadows… there aren’t any!!

Next problem is that your light is a bit too close to the camera, that makes it look flat, and the wall doesn’t have any specular that comes close to the spec on that scaffold. It looks like the wall is supposed to be metal, but there’s nothing but diffuse.

Another thing that would make a big difference is when the live action screen is on, use it to light the scaffolding, with reflection and GI.
