Great presentation. Nice dog. The local university allows students to bring well behaved dogs to class. Everyone benefits from the resulting ambiance. Some of that came through in the video and more dog cameos would be welcome. Maybe not cats, though... Somehow I missed emissive materials. Thanks so much for covering that. Worth the price of admission for me. Being a photographer, physically moving the lights around is part of the process. This allows more of that control. As always, I picked up other tips or corrected oversights on my part that had nothing really to do with the main topic of rendering. Seeing a pro at work really makes a difference.

Thank you for this video! Exactly what i was looking for!

Thanks for the tutorial! I think the linking thing you mentioned at 28:30 can be avoided by copying the component then left-clicking and pressing paste new instead of just paste.

Great Video!

would love to see a segment on creating the background images like the one you showed @ 5:30. Also how to create 3D material of Baltic birch with edge ply detail.

Great tutorial! One thing to add I think is how to create 'real' edges, replacing the sharp ones. I tried it using the roughness settings, but the edges remain sharp yielding an artifical look. How would you do this task?

It sucks that you can't turntable render locally. If you have horse power on your machine, why it's forced to use cloud? Just to force end users to use cloud service and spend credits? FreeCAD does it without issues.
